BlackBerry® Torch™ 9860

The BlackBerry Torch 9860 is the latest generation of full touchscreen smartphone developed by Research In Motion (RIM) also announced on August 3, 2011 As the natural progression of the Torch and Storm lines the 9850/60 dispenses with the slideout keyboard and the surepress screen made famous with its predecessors and focuses on an all touch interface unique within the Blackberry line. It also offers the largest screen of any Blackberry currently and formerly offered.

In many ways the 9850/60 is very similar to its sister model the 9810 including chipset, battery power, browser capability and liquid graphics technology. It also maintains as do all current Blackberry models the standard four button(answer, menu, back, end) and TrackPad line of buttons on the bottom front of the phone.
