RIM Launches Three New BlackBerries




Research in Motion has launched BlackBerry Bold 9900/9930 and two new Torch models, BlackBerry Torch 9810 and 9850/9860.

The two BlackBery Bolds, as well as the new BlackBerry 7 OS all of these devices are based on, were originally introduced back in May.
The BlackBerry Bold 9900/9930 smartphone is the thinnest the company has produced so far, and has solid specifications, with a 1.2 Ghz CPU, 8 GB of onboard memory, 720p HD video recording as well as support for NFC and 4G HSPA+ networks. The device sports the classic BlackBerry QWERTY keyboard and a touch LCD screen.

The company also plans to launch BlackBerry Torch 9810 and 9850/9860, all of which will feature a large touchscreen display on the front, similar to Apple’s iPhone or BlackBerry’s own Storm.
The BlackBerry Torch 9810 has a vertical slide-out keyboard as well as a 1.2 GHz CPU, a large, 640×480 pixel display with 246 DPI, 768 MB of RAM memory, 8 GB of storage, a 5-megapixel camera capable of recording 720 HD video and HSPA+ support. The device will be exclusive to AT&T and is expected to hit the stores this August.
The all-touch BlackBerry Torch 9860 is coming to AT&T at a later date (as well as BlackBerry Bold 9900). The device is sporting a 3.7” inch touch screen at a WVGA (800×480) resolution with 253 DPI, a 5-megapixel camera, GPS and a digital compass.
And if you wondering about the varying version numbers on some of the new BlackBerries, the answer is simple: the Torch 9850/9860 as well as Bold 9900/9930 will be the same device, only on different networks.
The announcement comes after a rough year for RIM, which has had a tough time selling its tablet, the PlayBook, and eventually had to revise its outlook for the future and drastically cut its workforce.
