The BlackBerry Torch 9800 was launched in the Philippines on November 19, 2010 at a media briefing event at a restaurant bar in Fort Bonifacio. As most of you know this is Research In Motion’s flagship model unit. Not only is the design unique, the BlackBerry Torch 9800 also carries the BlackBerry 6 OS and the WebKit browser.
Here are the important features of the BlackBerry Torch 9800:
- Touch screen (multi-touch)
- Backlit slide-out BlackBerry Keyboard
- BlackBerry 6 OS (Universal Search, Social Feeds, WebKit Browser)
- 5 MP Camera (continuous auto focus, image stabilization, zoom, etc,)
- Video Recording
- 8GB Media Storage
- MicroSD/SDHD Memory Card Slot
There’s no news yet for the official prices that the local carriers will adapt but I’ll be sure to post them here as soon as I get word.
