Video: Hands-on with the BlackBerry torch 9810

The first thing that jumped into my head, if getting my hands on the BlackBerry torch 9810 for RIM BB7 fan night event in Toronto last night was, "Huh, this feels familiar." I use its predecessor, the BlackBerry 9800, for almost a year, so that all the hardware were identical to the convenience keys, exterior of the slide mechanism on the keyboard. Given the hoopla, next-generation, the surrounding RIM devices, it was pretty deflating. Course was to Potter around, it obvious that the 9810 light years faster than my nestled old thing, done was, although the entire experience was largely unchanged. Universal Search added voice support, which was nice and augmented reality by Wikitude was neat-o, but hardly "revolutionary". I was curious on some key features based on early leaks, such as NFC and Mobile HotSpot, but neither is the introduction to the last device.

The BlackBerry torch 9810 is relatively good on hard data. 3.2-Inch 640 x 480 touch screen is crisp and responsive, and the Slide-Out QWERTY keyboard is to use as pleasant as ever. I find the dual rocker is still too easy to accidentally activate, and wish that she at least, that up to the lock button switched to that have adopted 7 devices on the top of the other OS. The 1.2 GHz processor and 768 MB RAM go a long way to improve the often laggy experience on the current torch. This shows itself in particular in a side-to page browser testing, we are between the two devices acts; the speed difference was exacerbated by the development of 14.4 9810, Mbit/S HSPA +, when compared to standard 7.2 Mbit/S on the 9800 eingepresste from. All usual values are in there too, such as Wi-Fi, GPS and Bluetooth connectivity.

All in all is his BlackBerry-9810 design up to yet another predictable, iterative update on an established brand, form factor, and experience. When a consistent, snappy performance is the biggest thing missing in the BlackBerry for you have been, a new torch slider may look value, but if you're looking for RIM to up-end their established standard and blow the world you would mind, preferably wait until next year, when they see dual-core QNX smartphones for even a hope, to launch.

Here is a video of the torch 9810 in action and a handful of still shots. If you require are a pick up, will it be available Bell and TELUS over the major North American GSM carriers like AT & T, Rogers,. All interested?
