The latest release from RIM features a vertical slider which combines the traditional QWERTY keyboard with a full touch screen and is the first handset to launch with BlackBerry 6, the new, eagerly awaited operating system.
Designed for socially connected consumers and equipped with all of the tools that business users require, the BlackBerry Torch allows the end user to communicate in whichever way suits their needs.
Touch enabled devices have grown in popularity since the launch of Apple’s original iPhone in 2007. However, users who spend a lot of time sending text messages or emailing their contacts have shown a preference for a handset with a QWERTY keyboard that allows for easy and efficient typing.
Whilst RIM embraced the idea of touchscreen with the previously released Storm and Storm 2, the Torch uses the best of both worlds, combining in a device which offers a more traditional touch screen solution to RIM’s loyal customer base.
Only time will tell if the Torch will prove to be viable competition for the iPhone market.
