BlackBerry Torch Paves Way to OS 6

Blackberry-torch-closed Blackberry-torch-open

Taking a break from the international intrigue that Research In Motion (RIM) has found itself in of late, the company got around to releasing its new flagship BlackBerry smartphone--and the first to be loaded up with its BlackBerry 6 OS. Running on AT&T, the BlackBerry Torch straddles the line between old and new BB designs with a new form factor, featuring a capacitive touchscreen display (longer requiring the SurePress tap input of the Storm 2) and a physical QWERTY keyboard that slides out of the bottom.

Despite a sturdy design that's meant to please as many BlackBerry users as possible, it's what's underneath the hood with the BlackBerry 6 OS that's most impressive. Highlights include universal search that scours both your phone and the web for your search terms, improved touchscreen navigation, overhauled music and video players with better graphical interface for browsing through your library, Wi-Fi Music Sync so you don't have to tether your phone to your PC to load your latest album purchases, and a new Webkit-based Web browser with faster loading pages and tabbed browsing.

Check out this overview of the Web browser's strengths compared to the browser in the Bold 9700 from Crackberry (and also check out their extensive overviews of both BlackBerry OS 6 and the Torch):

And for even more on the Torch, be sure to check out Lasa Gade's 4-star review of the Torch over at MobileTechReview (with her video overview below):

The BlackBerry Torch for AT&T is available from AmazonWireless today for as low as $99.99.

Its a good news that new blackberry comes with better touchscreen navigation and graphical interface for browsing which the old model do not had and creates some problem.

That is absolutely adorable! You did a great job on that.This thing would scream if it was running on an acceptable processor.It looks good,especially the keyboard is very good.

I love the features but then i also don't like its sensitivity, arghhh. why can't they put in something that is all in?
