RIM's newest full touchscreen BlackBerry smartphone, the BlackBerry Torch 9860 has made its way to a handful of middle eastern countries - United Arab Emirates, Bahrain, Saudi Arabia, Kuwait and Qatar. The BlackBerry Torch 9860 is RIM's first all-touch device, following in the Storm2's form factor but comes without SurePress. A feature both loved and hated by some users. And it still comes with the option to use the SureType keyboard when in portrait mode as well as a wide landscape QWERTY onscreen keyboard.
The Torch 9860's large 3.7 inch touchscreen is great for watching videos and browsing the internet with its HTML optimised browser for better gaming. And of course it comes with BlackBerry 7, a 5MP camera, and 1.2Ghz processor and Liquid Graphics technology.
