Verizon will get the new 9850 Torch from Blackberry

verizon wireless 9850 blackberry torch

Verizon Wireless has announced the introduction of the new Blackberry 9850 Torch. The new Torch will add Verizon’s impressive line up of Blackberry smartphones and has been eagerly anticipated by the Blackberry faithful who have had to endure years waiting for the release of a model that can measure up to the likes of Apple’s iPhone.

With Blackberry’s stronghold on the mobile phone marketplace slowly eroded from competition from the likes of the iPhone and the rest of the Android devices, the 9850 Torch is RIM answer and new weapon. The 9850 has RIMs new OS7 operating system that was specifically designed for the new enhanced screen touch models. The new Torch has a 3.7 inch screen and does not have a built in keyboard. This is not new to RIM as they tried this approach with the Storm series. However, with a much faster 1.2GHz processor and true touchscreen the new 9850 is a contender.

RIM has launched 5 new models over the summer but the 9850 and 9860 Torch have been the most anticipated. If the phone is what it is racked up to be, it could be a real winner and Blackberry could see not only a return of customers it lost to iPhone and Android, but most importantly it could stem the waves of customers that have left in search of the complete touchscreen experience. Follow us on Unlockology as we review the new 9850 Torch.

Thursday, September 8th, 2011

blackberry 9810 torch comes with OS7

Over the past six weeks RIM has announced the introduction of at least four new Blackberry models. This comes as no surprise as the competition in the smartphone arena is more fierce than ever and RIM is trying to regain its foothold in the industry. At Unlock Worldwide we have kept you abreast of any news related to the upcoming models: Torch 9810, Bold 9900 & 9930 and the Curve 9360.

Today we a going to review the 9810 Torch which Is coming out on Canada?s Rogers Wireless network.
The 9800 Torch series has been a bold step in Blackberry?s future. Having both the complete touch screen and a slide out keyboard is a distinct competitive advantage in a world were most of us are still trying to get a hold on how to type on a glass screen. The 9810 Torch is the upgrade version and although cosmetically the differences are small, the biggest change has to be that it comes with Blackberry OS7 operating system installed.

Specifications:

- Blackberry OS 7
- Liquid graphics 3.2? 640 x 480 touchscreen
- 1.2Ghz Qualcomm Snapdragon processor
- 768 MB RAM / 8GB internal storage
- 5MP camera with an LED flash
- 720p HD video
- 14.4Mbps download speeds
- Wi-Fi
- A-GPS
- Bluetooth 2.1 w/A2DP support
- Accelerometer
- Compass
- Micro USB slot
- 3.5mm headphone jack
- Dimensions 111mm x 62mm x 14.6mm (with the slider shut)

The Phone

The new 9810 Blackberry Torch looks just like the 9800 model. One difference being the colour as it is now more of a silver. The keyboard is slight larger but really hard to notice. There is also an onscreen keyboard that will work in both landscape and portrait modes.

The Screen

The new model comes with increased resolution and does have a much sharper look. It has really good brightness levels so it is easy to use in the daylight.

The OS

There is a definite difference with the new OS7 upgrade. But with few applications readily available for the new OS it is too soon to tell. A really good new feature is the modular app bar which slides up or down or side to side on the touchscreen. This makes it easier to access applications.
- Webkit browser
- Universal search
- Threaded messaging
- Gmail contacts syncing
- App World opened
- Touchscreen features
- Voice search
- Bluetooth support for the PlayBook

BlackBerry Internet Service (BIS) has had an upgrade and now supports native Gmail calendar and contacts so you can sync your information from there. Blackberry App World 3.0 is scheduled to be ready soon and this should make the OS7 experience much more worthwhile.

Camera

The 5 mega pixel camera on the 9810 Torch is top quality. It has good autofocus capability and it has good speed. The photo gallery app is well designed and it is easy to scroll through the photos. The 720p video is impressive with frames rates that are smooth even in low light filming.

Battery

The battery last more than eight hours and seems to be an improvement over the 9800 Torch.

Mobile Network

This model is coming out on Rogers Wireless and will be rolled out among other carriers like Telus, Bell, T-Mobile,AT&T, Movistar and Vodafone.

Overall this is a great model from Blackberry, but it still leaves much to be desired in today?s world of touchscreen smartphones. Blackberry enthusiast still love BBM and that is why RIM stands a fighting chance to regain its standing in the wireless communications world of tomorrow. The 9810 Blackberry Torch is sure to be a winner for now, but RIM will need to come up with something cutting edge if it plans to stay ahead in 2012.

9900, 9930, 9810, 9850 & 9860 Blackberry’s to be launched

Thursday, August 4th, 2011

RIM, the parent company of the Blackberry handheld mobile devices and Smartphone?s, announced today that over the next few months it would launch 5 new models.

It was also announced that all five models would run on the Blackberry 7 OS. The much talked about QNX software and operating system won?t be available until 2012.

There will be two new Bold models and three new Torch Models that will be available through most of Blackberry?s worldwide network of wireless carriers.

In the United States, AT&T has already said that it would carry three of the new smart phone models. The 9900 Bold, the 9810 Torch and the 9860 Torch will be GSM models and will work on wireless carriers like T-Mobile, Rogers, Vodafone, Orange, O2, Movistar and Three. Sprint a CDMA network in the United States will carry the other two. The 9930 Bold and the 9850 Torch are CDMA devices and will work on wireless networks like Verizon, Bell, Telus, Movilnet, and Wind.

The new models include the Torch 9810. This will be a second-generation phone after the original 9800 Torch. It will run on the new 4G operating frequencies. It will still have the vertical slide out Qwerty keyboard like the original Torch.

The new 9900 Bold will also be a 4G Blackberry. Similar in shape and functionality to the 9000 Bold but much faster, with better screen resolution and with the new OS7 operating system.

The new BlackBerry Torch 9860, will have a touch screen and will not have a Qwerty keyboard. The Torch 9860 is RIM’s replacement for the old full-touch screen BlackBerry Storm line. This is the model that goes head to head with Apple?s iPhone.

The 9930 Bold is similar to the 9900 but is made specifically for CDMA carriers. The same with the new Blackberry Torch 9850, similar to the 9860 but for CDMA networks.

Research in Motion is moving along to try and regain lost market share. RIM has been the leader in smartphone for many years, but over the past few years the iPhone and other Google Android based devices have eroded it lead.

Unlockology will keep you updated on the launch dates and will be here to help you with your Blackberry unlocking needs.
