RIM launches new BlackBerry models Torch and Bold

Although the Android and iPhone have had a devastating effect on the results of Canada's RIM (Research In Motion) in recent times, the maker of BlackBerry devices seems determined to make a comeback - or at least die fighting. On Wednesday the company announced the launch of two new BlackBerry models Torch and a new model of BlackBerry Bold.


All models are equipped with a processor that runs at 1.2 GHz It is used in making the latest version of the company's operating system, BlackBerry OS 7 (BBOS 7).

The Bold 9900/9930 is "the finest ever produced by the company", with its aluminum body displaying a figure of only 10.5 mm thick, with reasonable weight of 130g. The model exhibits the classic design of the brand smartphones, with a large physical keyboard occupying part of his face and has 8 GB of storage capacity.

The 9810 Torch is a device with 3.7 inch screen touch screen with a resolution of 640 × 480 pixels with the right to a vertical slider. The unit also has a 5 megapixel camera capable of carrying out shooting in 720p and will reach U.S. stores later this month.

In turn, the Torch 9850 and 9860 (which are the same device, the difference between the numbers used to indicate that they work on different networks) and require no physical keyboards are basically the same specs as the 9810, complete with extras such as sensor GPS and digital compass.
