BlackBerry Torch With BlackBerry 6 OS Announced →
BlackBerry Torch in AT&T for $199.99:
As a refresher, the specs for the Torch 9800 look like this: 3.2-inch 360x480 touchscreen, 4.4” (5.8” open) x 2.4” x .57” and weighing 5.68 ounces, an optical trackpad, 4 GB of flash memory built-in as well as a 4 GB MicroSD card included with the phone, 5 megapixel camera with flash capable of shooting 640x480 video, BlackBerry 6 OS, and the usual smartphone features like Bluetooth and 802.11b/g/n WiFi.
A modern device, with a modern OS – by 2009 standards.
For me this doesn’t mean that BlackBerry is in trouble. They are just not innovative for the end consumer. Other than the huge network effect of BlackBerry Messenger and their superior mail experience, they really bring nothing new to the market.
As long as these are the things that people want, no problem, if Apps, Browsing, Media, etc, keeps reaching mainstream, then somebody is in trouble.
