^^ Yup... Sweet!

Today BlackBerry announced their third touch-operated and very first slider handset. The BlackBerry Torch 9800 is also the first device to be running the BlackBerry OS 6, which is said to be the next big thing in the corporate world.

BlackBerry Torch brings in a full QWERTY keyboard and a 3.2" HVGA+ (480 x 360 pixels) display in an acceptably thick 14.6mm body. The tri-band 3G handset packs Wi-Fi b/g/n, Bluetooth and GPS, making up for an excellent all-round connectivity.

The 5 megapixel autofocus snapper on the BlackBerry Torch 9800 back is capable of recording videos up to VGA resolution. There is 512 MB of operating memory on board, while the storage capacity is 4GB, expandable by up to 32GB through the microSD card slot. There will also be a 4GB card included in every retail package.

The BlackBerry Torch 9800 will be offered exclusively (at least in the US) to AT&T customers, starting from 12 August. It will cost a cent short of 200 bucks after a two-year contract.

Meanwhile RIM announced the availability of the BlackBerry Storm2 in South Korea. It was a pretty long wait, the handset taking almost a year to reach those shores, but SK Telecom subscribers can now walk into one of the carrier's authorized shops and grab one.

Yeah, that's the same thing Nokia/Symbian users used to say...

Postby **tr1ad** » August 4th, 2010, 8:56 am

but they still have users not so?

Swisha · Postby **Swisha** » August 4th, 2010, 9:15 am

not really, Nokia is gonna eventually scrap the Symbian OS for MeeGo which actually shows their serious about giving iOS and Android some serious competition.

hell even MS completely completely overhauled Windows Mobile.

guess i was jus really hoping BlackBerry would step up to the plate in more convincing fashion...

Postby **tr1ad** » August 4th, 2010, 9:22 am

well mitch, its like i always say about the "wars"
its whats suits you

i personally dont like bb for their OS, but being a user for some time in the past, then to nokia, then iphone and back to bb
their email service for me is tops.....

so based on that i'll be a bb user until i can experience better email - especially exchange server access - on the go
i have tried iphone, it would open the port for access, i tried a n900 as well the other day, no luck either still to try the htc and the nexus

picked up the 9700 a few weeks back. I like it. mostly for bbm. I could've gotten the iphone 4g for the same price but I don't do any type of browsing on my phone. For talk and chat I like it especially being able to keep in touch around the globe quickly and affordably.

Android phones have their own version of bbm called gtalk (Google Talk)
and it isnt phone to phone chat ONLY...

as long as someone has a gmail account (which i'm sure everyone has by now), u can chat with them via built in chat in their email or Google Talk for desktop.

The fact that you need an account; everyone has msn.. Use that.
