Blackberry Torch Announced Photos and Specs Revealed

Tags: blackberry

Get up close and personal with the Blackberry Torch 9800, RIM's first slider.

Packing both a touchscreen and a Qwerty keyboard, the Blackberry Torch offers a unique experience for the new Blackberry user. With a refreshed operating system and more on-board memory, Torch has exciting benefits. Though Blackberry's attempts in the past have fallen flat when it comes to the touchscreen, this time around, we think they got it right. The phone seems to be rather large when fully deployed into Qwerty keyboard status, but nobody carries it around like that anyway. The convenience of the keyboard may make up for the size of the phone, but we will let you be the judge of that. Let us know what you think.

The new operating system is a welcome change and with any new version some bugs can be expected. You can now customize your new home screen with links featuring a sliding menu of shortcuts. These can contain your favorite apps, contacts, browser bookmarks, photos, videos, and even songs with up to 4GB of on-board memory.

Social butterflies can now check a single information stream where all of their accounts are in one place. Whether its Facebook, Twitter, RSS feeds, instant messaging, or perhaps your a fan of them all, you can easily gain access. Check out pictures of the Blackberry Torch below. Thanks to Stuff.tv for the images.
