Blackberry Torch

The wireless company AT&T has released the Blackberry Torch 9800, on Aug. 12, and cost $199 with a two-year contract with AT&T. The phone uses RIM's new Operating System 6, which includes a badly needed re-do of the BlackBerry Web browser, which is painfully slow and frustrating to use. The new browser is called the Torch Mobile browser. It is based on WebKit, the same engine used by Apple and Google. The Torch, has a qwerty keyboard and a touch-screen keyboard . It has a 3.2-inch, 360-by-480 capacitive touch-screen display. The phone, with Wi-Fi, has pinch-to-zoom on the touchscreen, something the iPhone and other devices already feature. It also has a 5-megapixel camera with flash and autofocus, as well as "environment" settings. The camera names pictures by location. The Blackberry Torch 9800 overall seems like a pretty good phone except for the internet issue because that does cause many problems for any of the people that are using it.
