Amid a decline in market share, the BlackBerry is quick to launch three new terminals. They should at least get closer to the level specifications of current models with Android or Symbian. BlackBerry Touch Bold 9900 is the thinnest from RIM at only 10.5 mm thick. It comes with the new BlackBerry OS 7 operating system, run on a 1.2 GHz CPU.
The 2.8″ screen has a high resolution of 640×280 pixels and a density of points that approach the Retina Display from Apple. 8 GB internal memory expandable with a microSD card, and a 5 MP camera that enables shooting at 720p with autofocus and image stabilization. It connects to the Internet via a modem HSDPA with speeds up to 14.4 Mbps or the network card or with 802.11n support.
BlackBerry Torch 9860 is a smartphone running the new OS 7 on a 3.7″ screen, the largest offered by RIM to date. Motorization is given by the same Qualcomm CPU at 1.2 GHz, and the camera is identical to that of Touch Bold 9900. 4GB of memory is included for internal storage, which can be expanded with a microSD card. With a thickness of 11.5 mm, BlackBerry Torch 9860 weighs just 135g.
For the U.S. provider AT & T, RIM will launch BlackBerry Torch 9810. This is a QWERTY slider with a 3.2″ screen with a VGA resolution. In terms of equipment, it is almost identical to the Touch Bold 9900, running the same operating system, BlackBerry OS 7. BlackBerry Bold 9900 and BlackBerry Touch 9860 Torch will be available in Europe in September, but pricing was not specified yet.
