Wrist computers have not been all that popular of a product in recent years. In fact, the iPod Nano is largely considered as one of the few blunders that Apple has made throughout their dominance in the mobile market as far as new products are considered. However, that could be changing here soon. Although most consumers rarely wear a watch in this day and age and mostly use their Sim Free mobile phones as their time-telling device, Swap’s Rebel is looking to change that and bring back wrist-mounted devices as a phone. Although the interface will not be nearly as spectacular as the interfaces on most mobile devices, but if it can provide some of the same functionality it has a good chance of finding success.

The Rebel is made by Swap, a UK manufacturer and features a 1.46 color touchscreen,, allowing users to easily navigate through the core functionality of the device. It even includes a camera that is able to record both video and still-photographs.

The design of the Rebel is fairly basic, and features a vanilla color with little detail added to it. The strap for the Swap covers up a USB port that can be found at one end of the device which will allow you to transfer your MP3 or video collection to your phone. The Swap only has 2 GB of storage, but for the size of the device that should be enough to fill it up with some of your favorite media files.

Along with the ability to add MP3’s to the device, you will also be able to tune into FM radio, which is a feature that comes standard with the Swap. The apps that are available for the Swap Rebel are relatively basic and will enable you to play music, access your email, add to your contacts, change settings and even surf the web.

At around $300, the Swap provides users with an excellent way to keep the core functionality of their smart devices connected to their wrist at all times, and even allows for them to utilize Bluetooth headsets when they are talking on the phone. At the very least, it will keep all of your basic smart device functions easily accessible on your wrist.

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.

Unboxing the Unlocked BlackBerry Torch 9800 might have taken time but a thorough run through followed by an immediate video of the hardware specs was something that hardly took any time. The internet and in particular the YouTube’s and Metacafé’s of the internet are now flooded with videos that give you a hands on explanation of the specifics of this wonderfully engineered masterpiece of a device. These videos also provide a thorough look through of the BlackBerry 6 Operating System which is platform to the ever so recently-launched BlackBerry Torch 9800. You can now have a close look yourself at the features of the new Torch to understand how well the new BlackBerry browser fares, how generally, the OS fares in fairly real-world situations and conditions.

For those who still haven’t got their very own set, the BlackBerry Torch 9800 is now available on AT&T for a price of $199 particularly on a two-year agreement which is at par with the price of a DROID 2 from Verizon. The Torch boasts an HVGA display, a 5 megapixel camera which is sure to take your breath away with its quality of imaging, a slide-out keyboard which through it’s portrait orientation adds to the total compactness of the device, a total of 512 MB of RAM almost mandatory for any smartphone, a rather disappointing 624 MHz of processor power, and a totally new OS featuring Webkit browser, a number of improvements to the user interface and even a pinch-to-zoom feature. For the more enthusiastic fan of BlackBerry, there are several other review related videos of the Unlocked BlackBerry Torch 9800 but this is most important, at the end of the day for those users who in the end look for a chance to look through the set thoroughly before even thinking of walking into a store to buy one.
