In early August, Research in Motion released 4 brand new phones into the western markets. These phones have finally crossed the pond, and have come over to India. Of all the four new handsets, perhaps the most exciting one is the new BlackBerry Torch 9810. This phone is a direct upgrade to the Torch 9800 that was released last year.
While the 9800 was generally well received, it received major flak from critics all over the world in one major area – lack of powerful hardware. RIM has thrown caution to the wind, and has upgraded the internals on the 9810 with the latest bells and whistles. A 1.2 GHz processor now powers the device to a new echelon, while 768 MB of RAM gives the device enough juice for flawless multitasking. For the picture taking and video recording aficionados, the phone features a 5 megapixel camera with LED flash, and HD video recording capabilities. Shockingly, though, it lacks a camera at the front.
Another novelty with the Torch 9810 is the all new BlackBerry 7 OS. While last year’s OS 6 was a huge leap from its previous iterations, OS 7 simply builds on the great work done by its predecessor. The user experience seems to be smoother overall, while maintaining the classic BlackBerry feel to it.
The device has been made available to the Indian markets last week, and can be yours for Rs 29,990.
