Tech Tues: The Blackberry Torch...hmmmm




Well it seems as though Blackberry has unleashed it's next new phone and some are wondering "Is It a little too late"? Below is a brief overview of what Blackberry and their RIM network have cooked up:

Among the cavalcade of mobile superstars in this summer’s smartphone extravaganza — which, so far, has boasted the likes of the HTC Evo 4G, the Motorola Droid X, a series of sleek Samsung Galaxy handsets, and (of course) the iPhone 4 — one marquee name has been noticeably absent: the BlackBerry.
Well, in the final weeks of summer, Research in Motion (along with carrier partner AT&T — and yes, we're talking another AT&T exclusive here) is looking to make a better-late-than-never splash with the BlackBerry Torch 9800, a new QWERTY slider with a redesigned touchscreen OS that the mobile giant hopes can garner the same kind of buzz that Android handsets like the Evo and the Droid X and the new iPhone have been enjoying for the past few months. (Well, Apple probably didn’t “enjoy” all the “Antennagate” buzz, but at least people were talking about it.)


Well the article goes in further but from the looks of things Blackberry is rolling out some artillery to compete with the big dogs. This is a pleasant welcome as I mentioned to a friend that BB needed to step their game up.. PRONTO! Not sure how well these will sell but one thing is for sure they seem to be on the right track even though they have a ways to go if they wanna keep up with the current market...
