RIM BlackBerry Torch Details
RIM Officially Launches BlackBerry Torch 9800, New OS 6.0
RIM officially unveiled two projects it had been working on this morning — the BlackBerry Torch 9800 and its new OS 6 — during a press conference in NYC. We get our first look at the BlackBerry Torch here (which is RIM's first smartphone to come with both a 3.2-inch touchscreen and slide-out QWERTY keyboard), while getting a closer look at the OS 6.0 operating system.
Hitting AT&T exclusively on Aug. 12, the BlackBerry Torch comes with a ton of social networking features (which will take up even more of your time during the day) and some nice specs under the hood.
