This is what the 9860 shoulda looked like. Though still not to keen on the track pad but no buttons!!! Having the os7 software makes it all the sweeter.Definitely reminicent of the storm 2. Might be tempted to add to my collection.

Agree with you a 100%. Sweet looking phone.

As I'm holding and typing this from my 9860, I couldn't disagree more. The buttons around the trackad help out lot due to the thinness of the device. They prevent accidental option menu/back screen selections. Plus the ergonomic design is far more appealing than this Curve.

I have the 9850 and I don't see how having buttons around the track pad could prevent you from accidental selections. If anything, a raised button will actually cause more selections. I keep my phone in my pocket and have to keep it locked, otherwise its doing all sorts of stuff. I definitely think they should not have released the Torch 9850/9860 with raised buttons. Isn't the whole thinness arguement purely speculation anyways?

-1 Absolutely not this thing is ridiculously small and 2 steps back in design for Rim.... i hope you didnt mean the dimensions..

bbqsanchez Nov 15, 2011 at 5:59 am

Exacly what I was thinking. I loved the size of my S2. I wish they would have hot rodded that thing with a faster processor though.

This phone is gorgeous! If I were into all-touch devices, I'd def want to get my hands on this.

Good idea to launch Bold 9790 and curve 9380?

What's the point of this phone? is it any different from the Torch 9860?
joeldf Nov 15, 2011 at 9:26 am
Read the specs. Slower processor = cheaper price point.
dfb8085 Nov 15, 2011 at 9:35 am
how much cheaper do you think it is? i mean dang the 9860 comes in at $99 with 2 yr contract right?
Vanti Nov 15, 2011 at 2:24 pm
If you follow the course of history this will probably be free with a 2yr contract...

The fact that this phone will ever see the light of the day is indicative of why RIM is mired in mediocrity right now. I would have loved to have been in the product meeting when it was determined that it would be a good thing to have two phones that look exactly alike yet have different names and then have two phones that look completely different and share the same product line name.
Completely asinine.

RIM is putting out too many devices. Its seems pretty confusing.
I think they should have created a different series name for the all-touch devices.

Recently, I tried to check out some Samsung phones. Went to att.com and click Samsung. Infuse/Captivate/Galaxy SI/Galaxy SII/Galaxy SII SkyRocket and that doesn't even count the windows ones...Focus vs Focus S vs Focus Flash...
ugahairydawgs Nov 15, 2011 at 1:47 pm
Definitely not saying they are the only one doing stupid stuff like this, but in the shape RIM is in right now they should be narrowing their focus and not saturating the market with a confusing product lineup. Do a Bold (stop this 9900/9930 nonsense), a Torch (with the slider), a Curve (entry level with QWERTY), and a full screen touch (and call it something other than Torch).
Do those four phones, stop with the product numbers, and spread out the product cycles so they aren't releasing them right on top of one another.
Vanti Nov 15, 2011 at 2:26 pm
You should put your application in for Rim's development branch because obviously they dont know what their doing and have lost their "professional" touch. Then they could hire my 5yr old cousin...
RoseBud68 Nov 15, 2011 at 11:59 am
Hope this come out on AT&T, This will be a great phone for my kids.
siddo_d Nov 15, 2011 at 12:40 pm
That looks so nice and I think its the most powerfuless curve LOOOOL the 8520 was terrible
VanCity778 Nov 15, 2011 at 11:08 pm
So this is a Torch without the KB ? That's what i see. No KB, no likey. I'll keep my 9810
