The BlackBerry Torch 9860, otherwise known as the 'Monaco/Monza/Touch', is annouced to be the fully-touchscreen follow-up to the BlackBerry Storm 2.
BlackBerry Torch 9860 - Design & Build:
The Torch 9860 will have the highest-resolution screen in a BlackBerry today according to the early specs, which'll measure in at 3.7-inches with a 840 x 480 WVGA resolution. This'll be coupled with RIM's traditional optical trackpad, which nests in between four raised physical keys (Call, Menu, Back, End Call). It may not sport a full QWERTY keypad, but it'll still come boasting email support, Facebook and Twitter access, and RIM's much-loved IM service, otherwise known as BlackBerry Messenger.
BlackBerry Torch 9860 - Performance:
Under the hood, the BlackBerry Torch 9860 will rock a 1.2GHz processor, coupled with the latest version of RIM's BlackBerry OS. With BB OS 7 onboard, it'll come "a fluid touch-screen experience" alongside as well as a needed-boost to the built-in browser, minor tweaks to the UI, HTML5 support and voice-activated search. There's also a new feature dubbed BlackBerry Balance, for separating business content from personal apps and features.
BlackBerry Torch 9860 - Multimedia:
Media-wise, the BlackBerry Torch 9860 will purportedly arrive sporting a 5 megapixel rear-facing camera, complete with 720p HD video recording. This'll be coupled with a built in media player, pre-loaded widgets, and access to the BlackBerry App World.
BlackBerry Touch 9860 - Other Features:
Other specifications include HSDPA and WiFi connectivity, Personal Hotspot functionality, NFC integration, and 4GB internal storage expandable to 32GB via microSD.
