We review the BlackBerry Torch for you
When RIM made the announcement about the new operating system at the Wireless Enterprise Symposium earlier in the year, it was tipped as RIM’s answer to the popularity that the iPhone and Android powered devices have been enjoying and as a way to wrestle back its proverbial throne in the smart phone market of United Kingdom with BlackBerry’s first upgrade in its operating system in a very long time. AT&T made its announcement about the new BlackBerry Torch, the new slider phone from the company a few weeks later.
In a lot of ways, the hardware is not as important to the BlackBerry 6 as many of the older and famous devices like the BlackBerry Bold 9650, the BlackBerry Bold 9700, and the BlackBerry Pearl 9100, along with the new offerings from the company the BlackBerry 9670 Clamshell, the BlackBerry Curve 9300 and the latest Unlocked Torch 9800 will all be getting a new and improved facelift. However, RIM wanted to make people aware about the upgrade and for that, they needed a new device that would be able to introduce the new BlackBerry 6 to the public. Keeping in mind the Palm Pre that was launched only some time back, it can be said that a portrait slider is not exactly the most original of plans and critics have been going about how it is just an amalgamation of the Bold keyboard on to the back of the Storm, but the finer details cannot be overlooked. The absence of the SurePress is RIM’s first if the slider is not your thing.
We expect a lot more things from RIM but we have to be content with what we are getting now. The BlackBerry enthusiasts will more or less be satisfied by the Torch but what it will do the minds of the buyers will be a worthwhile watch.
