AT&T and RIM Announce The BlackBerry Torch 9800 Smartphone
AT&T and Research In Motion (RIM) today introduced the new BlackBerry Torch 9800 smartphone. Adept for socially connected consumers and packed with the tools business customers love, the new handset is the world’s first smartphone to combine a BlackBerry keyboard with a full touch screen experience. The screen is 3.2″ across with a 360×480 capacitive touch screen display. The entire phone measures in at 4.4″ (5.8″ open) x 2.4″ x .57″ and weighing 5.68 ounces. The BlackBerry Torch 9800 smartphone will be available only for AT&T customers on August 12 for $199.99 with a 2-year service agreement. It looks like it might be finally time to upgrade from that Blackberry Bold 9000 you’ve been holding onto all these years!
This is one of the most significant launches in RIMs history and we are proud to introduce the new BlackBerry Torch and BlackBerry 6 together with AT&T, said Mike Lazaridis, president and co-ceo, Research In Motion. With a new user interface, new browser and new handset design, the highly anticipated BlackBerry Torch and BlackBerry 6 deliver integrated and uncompromising capabilities for consumers and business professionals that preserve the industry-leading strengths of the BlackBerry platform while adding exciting new dimensions.
