The Lowdown On The Blackberry Torch 9860

One of the two new all-touch models released by manufacturer RIM

, the BlackBerry Torch 9860 is one of the brand's newest smartphones running on their latest operating system, BlackBerry 7. BlackBerry handsets have always been known in the past as models with business features, serious phones for serious individuals looking to get everything they need done at their fingertips. As BlackBerry has delineated itself to be a serious but sleek and stylish brand, it has incredibly narrowed its target market. With the release of the all-touch Torch 9860, BlackBerry aims to tap into the younger (and bigger) market who are crazy about touchscreens these days, without moving too far away from what BlackBerry loyalists have come to love and appreciate about the brand.

The first thing that the BlackBerry Torch 9860 is proud of is its impressive touchscreen, all 3.7 inches of goodness with a 253 DPI and a WVGA resolution of 800x400 pixels. These numbers puts the BlackBerry Torch 9860 as one of the smartphones with the largest screens offered. All the crisp and sharp details offered by the Torch 9860 lets consumers have better web browsing and overall multimedia experience and use of applications. The pan and zoom and scroll functions allows for easier viewing as well, complemented by a screen design that falls over the edge of the phone.

As for features, the BlackBerry Torch 9860 is fitted with quick-access buttons, a redesigned virtual keyboard with predictive text input for more intuitive messaging, a digital compass called the magnetometer, a camera capable of HD video, and the all-new BBM6. The digital compass also makes it possible for applications dealing with augmented reality like the Wikitude browser to be used. Utilized alongside BBM6, the Wikitude browser lets up to six BBM contacts be tracked in real time.

With BlackBerry 7 running the show, redesigns were accommodated for the Torch 9860, aiding in the complete utilization of hardware acceleration with graphic fidelity. This translates to smoother animations, richer graphics, and a more fluid experience of using the touchscreen with Liquid Graphics.

When the BlackBerry Torch 9860 joined in the touchscreen fray, it was entering a market with heavy competition. What RIM was banking on though was the reputation that BlackBerry has when it comes to mobile phones. With the introduction of touchscreen models, consumers are expected to appreciate the brand even more.
