Detect Blackberry pre OS 7

Question

I need to be able to detect if my webpage is running on a blackberry before OS 7.

I need to be able to tell a user that certain elements will no function correctly.

Is this possible?

From the useragent, you can detect what device the user is using.

A sample user agent for the BlackBerry Bold 9900 smartphone:
