BlackBerry Fires Up Torch

Combining a full touch screen phone with its first ever slide-out QWERTY keyboard, Research In Motion is firing up the BlackBerry Torch 9800. This latest BlackBerry smartphone is also the first to run the new BlackBerry 6 operating system.

This new addition to a steady stream of latest smartphones expands popular BlackBerry messaging solutions. It taps into AT&T’s advanced messaging features for SMS and MMS as well as AT&T's Locations feature, which allows one to easily search for points of interest. GPS is built-in for location-based applications and geo-tagging.

Upon release soon, the BlackBerry Torch 9800 smartphone will be available through AT&T and other outlets including Amazon Wireless, Best Buy, RadioShack, and Wal-Mart.
