Conflicting information here:

'Memory 4GB onboard, expandable up to 36GB via MicroSD'
and
'With 8 GB of memory, expandable up to 32 GB'

I assume 8GB in and expandable to 32GB is correct though.

captainbdsc

Haha! I am sad to say that is the first thing i noticed as well!

looks good though! I really hope devs love it and take advantage of its specs...

frisco49ers

Onboard memory looks good, but no mention of application memory.... Anyone know what it is? 512 or 1024??????

curvezzz

756mb ram

elite1

Well, actually 768MB, but close enough!

invictusdigital

NFC?

fuzzysteve

can someone confirm or deny NFC on the phone?

the brother

i can confirm - it ain't there.

RIM boss on a sexy Blackberry, apps, NFC and operators

The devices also include NFC technology, what value do you think will accrue to RIM from incorporating NFC?

I see this as the start of a whole new industry. We think now it’s becoming more mature, and that enables us to start executing some of the viabilities on the device. It requires an ecosystem of carrier partners, banks, retailers and content providers. Where we are at the moment is that everyone talking to everyone, finding a way of shaping this market, that enables us all to take advantage and have a part in the value chain.

So what do you see as RIM’s value from NFC?

If you look at the corollary of the internet – we in the UK are big users of internet shopping so the next progression is mobile and really we think that linking the payments part of that is the catalyst to driving buying things through mobile device [Lots more stuff about how the industry can put mobile transactions together]

(Persisting) So what’s the payback for you as a handset manufacturer, because one of the hold ups has been the handset manufacturers not seeing the ROI for them in adding to their BOM by including NFC?

When consumers start paying for things they are going to start asking “Is that secure”, so we think we are coming from a heritage of security and reliability, coming with a set of assets that play nicely, in terms of the data protection and controls we have. So we as a manufacturer believe in adding more value to that transaction by giving comfort to consumers.

(Finally) So your payback is consumers buying more Blackberry phones?

That’s what we want. We think we can do it better than others and that’s what we’ll be working on as this market evolves

This phone will come loaded with lots of functionality. Whether or not each carrier turns it on will determine on what it can do for you. For example, it supports UMA, but not all carriers provide UMA servers.

According this this website, which provides a very detailed listing of the phone's capabilities:

http://pdadb.net/index.php?m=specs&id=2839&view=1&c=rim_blackberry_torch...

the 9810 includes support for both NFC and mobile hotspots, but some carriers are likely to disable this functionality.

Here's hoping that most carriers enable some of this cool new functionality, if not upon initial release, then within a short time down the road!

Hi @invictusdigital,

Alex from RIM here. Just chiming in here to confirm that the BlackBerry Bold 9900 and 9930 are the first and only BlackBerry smartphones to deliver NFC, which enables many new and exciting capabilities, including pairing accessories and reading SmartPoster tags with a simple tap of the smartphone.

To learn more about what each of the new BlackBerry OS 7 smartphones has to offer, stop by our Inside BlackBerry Blog for the latest: http://bbry.lv/cWR2rg.

Cheers,
Alex, RIM Social Media Team

My reading would be 4GB onboard with an 8GB card supplied (expandable up to 32GB).

RoseBud68

The new 9810 will have 8GB internal memory & expandable up to 32GB.

- battery life is rather short only 13 hours ?????

- the standard sd card is still 4gb altought it was previously said that it coulb be 8gb capacity.

KoonanBay

Where did you get 13 hours? I can see nearly 13 DAYS of GSM standby time (and 12.3 days of UMTS) and no other number close to "13" :)

ugabennett

wonder how much memory you'll have after the installed Os?

zebulun12

i hope this comes to t-mobile.

randall2580

ATT is bragging this is their exclusive in USA.

Dstokes06

AT&T exclusive, take your chances with the merger

j1ggz

Is it the same size as the 9800? Sorry, can't really look for the 9800 specs.

Dstokes06

Yes it is, the inproved specs are more under the hood and the keyboard is a bit more solid

Dstokes06

So there no NFC capabilities? Maybe that'll come in an later update or maybe we'll have to wait for the "9820" ehhh.... But is it at least Flash ready? being that it suppots HTML5

rgorman

Have to sneak a peek at the inside of the battery door for signs of the NFC system. It might be there, just not activated as yet. A future update may then activate it.

Any idea of weight? Is at as heavy as the current Torch?

Has RIM figured out how to install apps on a Blackberry device without filling up the RAM space?
Of all the failures of Blackberry, this is what enrages me the most. Users of Apple iPhone have been able to install apps without worrying about RAM space issues even when the device had just 512 MB of RAM.
If I cannot install apps on the new 9810 device without filling up the RAM then I am not buying it. It is pretty much a deal breaker. Right now I am using my BB 9300 OS6 with only two apps. Everything else I access through mobile web page shortcuts or an app that redirects to a mobile web page.

newbietech2011

After some further research I think that the problem I described above is only for those BB devices that do not have onboard storage. For e.g., BB 9300 has 256 MB RAM and no onboard storage. So the Application Storage is in the same space as the memory(RAM). I am hopeful that 9810 will not have this problem. With 4GB onboard storage, the RAM sould not be a limiting factor on how many apps can be installed.

Can other BB device owners please please add comments with their experiences on this issue?

RevyRah

The Torch 9800 needed to have 512MB of RAM in order to run OS6. For the Torch 9810 there are 756MB of RAM. I have to look into the old articles here at CrackBerry to find out if the new OS allows for saving apps on the SD cards. I recall reading something about it when they were detailing the OS 6.1 leaked info.

UnknownError507

I have a Torch 9800

The only thing you are allow to it save the apps to SD card but they have to be installed on the phone memory in order to run, the app as far as i know and i experimented they cant run or start from your SD card, it gives me an error Unable to find javalng..??.

So the only way it is to save the app on SD card then install it on the phone, but usually after and as far as i know after DL the app to phone and when the Installing process begins the app will be deleted from phone memory after Reboot/Reset.

rrrebo

4GB built-in, non-upgradable storage + up to 32GB microSD card = up to 36GB total storage capacity. If it comes with 8GB built-in, non-upgradable storage, then adding a 32GB card would make a total of 40GB storage.

dosto

The 9810 is very tempting; looks great (except the back cover).

I could almost choose it over the 9900 (almost), but not gonna. Gotta have the iconic BB Bold, to replace my aging 9700.

f4s7d3r3k

Is this phone not 4g network compatible?

tlo07

Oh please let this come in some other color besides blah or I shall be forced to pony up an arm and a leg to send it to colorware...

ps4rh

Any news as to whether or not these will be able to act as a portable WiFi hotspot?

tediprude

How come there's no NFC on this device? It should be there!

Guess I'll have to go back to my "RIM pulling features out of a hat" theory on this one. LOL!

Now I'm torn between this one and the 9900 Bold. UGH!

Peace...

aj_007

I believe I would be an early adopter of one of these phones... still torn btw d torch 2, torch touch, & bold touch (i'm currently a torch user, and I love d convenience of d relatively large screen & slide-out physical keypad). I hope I won't be disappointed cos these phones look like they absolutely rock. However, I keep wondering why RIM has not introduced front facing cameras yet... This is a really important and one of the very essential features they keep missing out on... Others such as 4G, even faster (dual core processors), mobile hot-spot capabilities, etc are also important, but the exclusion of front-facing cameras is absolutely irritating. Maybe they're saving these features for the QNX enabled super phones... I hope they'd drop in the near future.

zephyros

just wanna check...i didn't see these info anywhere in the specs...for 9900 they where there

Accelerometer/Magnetometer Orientation Sensor (Accelerometer), Digital Compass (Magnetometer), Proximity Sensor

So does that mean it's not in 9810?

musiclover7

Couple things.. I just ordered this phone.. Can someone answer definitively what the deal is with the app memory, and the total on-board memory. Says 8gb, expandable to 32gb, which as others have posted, does not make much sense.. Mine comes in the mail in a few days, so I suppose time will tell. Also, from several of the videos I have watched, it looks like the micro usb port for charging, may be smaller than the one on my current BB Bold. If so, that would be quite lame as I already have a plethora of charging equipment for my current blackberry. I also heard somewhere that the headphone jack on this phone is virtually garbage and is quick to become unusable. If this is true, then I worry I made a mistake. I get my phone through my company, so it is not as though I had much in the way of choices. No android or Iphone possibilities. My intention though, is to use this phone as my 1 and only device. No longer have a separate mp3 player, etc.. If the headphone jack is as bad as I have heard, then that will be a severe disappointment..

When is the wi-fi hotspot update coming?
