Blackberry maker research in motion, aiming to stay ahead of manufacturers of rival devices such as apple s iphone, unveiled its "new blackberry 6 0 software and torch."
Blackberry torch Hardware
Compared to more streamlined devices like the Captivate or iPhone 4... The Torch keeps the familiar, metal-like (it's plastic) bezel around the edges of the phone, looping around back just as with the Blackberry Bold, though this time it's split in two pieces due to the separate screen and keyboard portions of the phone. Along the right side of the phone is a 3.5mm headphone jack, volume rockers, and user-assignable convenience key (it defaults to the camera), while the left side houses only the Micro USB jack. Nothing really compares to the spacious keyboard of the "original Bold", but for a device packing a larger touchscreen, there's little compromise.
we were impressed with the technical aspects of RIM's design here -- the company certainly built a solid, capable device from a hardware perspective. There's nothing daring or lust-worthy about this design
