BlackBerry Torch

The Blackberry Torch 9800 is a 2010 model in the Blackberry line of smartphones. It combines a physical QWERTY keyboard with a sliding multi-touch screen display and runs on the latestBlackberry OS 6. Introduced on August 3, 2010, the phone became available exclusively on AT&T on August 12, 2010.

The device looks similar to existing Blackberry devices, but due to the sliding keyboard features a bigger, 3.2 inch 360x480 screen (the same resolution as the Blackberry Storm and Blackberry Storm2). The software is seen by most to be an improvement over the previous version. The device also features far greater social network integration, a powerful universal search feature, and a WebKit browser comparable to those found on iOS and Android devices. While in development it had the code name 'Talladega'.
