BlackBerry Torch 9800: Preview - RIM BlackBerry Torch 9800 Preview

At a rather grand press conference held in Mumbai on October 14, BlackBerry officially released their high-end smartphone, the BlackBerry Torch 9800. It is the same sliding touchscreen handset we saw AT&T release in the US on August 3 this year. And now it is here in India almost a month-and-a-half after its western region premiere. However, the Torch 9800 has been selling in the grey market in offline stores as well as online retailers, like eBay India, since long. Anyway, without further ado we bring all you BlackBerry boys (and girls) a sneak peak at what to expect from the Torch 9800.

BlackBerry’s latest answer to the iPhone and Android challenge has arrived. It’s called the BlackBerry Torch 9800 and it is the first of Research in Motion’s new smartphones running the BlackBerry 6 OS. There are some critical improvements to the platform that make BlackBerry a more viable competitor to iPhone and Android, and there are still some things BlackBerry does better than any other smartphone.
