new Blackberry Torch2

Have you ever thought that Blackberry’s flagship phone, the 9800 Torch as kind of disappointing? Well, we did. The CPU was underpowered and the Blackberry OS 6 feels like patched together and wasn’t really optimized to be working on the touchscreen plus hardware keyboard combination. Looks like RIM is going to right that wrong by releasing a new Torch 2 with faster CPU and other additions like a NFC chip. We’re guessing it will be numbered as 9830 after the 9800 Torch. Anyway. full specs below:

• 1.2GHz processor (624mhz on 9800 Torch)
• Quad-band GSM/GPRS/EDGE
• Tri-band HSPA 14.4Mbps
• 3.2-inch VGA 640 x 480 capacitive display
• 8GB built-in memory (4GB on 9800 Torch)
• 512MB RAM
• Bluetooth 2.1
• GPS
• NFC
• 5-megapixel camera with flash
• Magnetometer
• Accelerometer
• Proximity sensor
• 1300 mAh battery
• BlackBerry OS 6.1 (9800 Torch on BB OS 6.0)
• OpenGL ES
• 14.6mm thin

Most of the changes is on the hardware inside. As you may have noticed with most Blackberry phones, the outside appearance changes ever so slightly with each iteration of a model. Compared to the older 9800 Torch, this one is rumoured to have a matte silvery finish. It will make it’s first appearance in Q3 of 2011 in America. We’re guessing it will come to Malaysia shortly after that. More news when we get the info. [source]

My Blackberry is not working!!

The world was a simpler place back when Blackberry, Orange, date and Apple are just names of produce from the local fruit stall. Watch the video for some LOL. Try to understand the terms used in a non-IT related way.

FYI: Orange is a name of a Telco in the UK.
