RIM Gives the New Blackberry Torch a Completely New Design and Form Factor

A smartphone’s combination of striking appearance and features almost always decides the fate of the device, whether it will live to be a bestseller or be trampled underfoot by the competition. Research In Motion knows firsthand about this concept and has included a slew of multimedia features in the new Blackberry Torch.

The Torch enables you to wade through multiple web pages rapidly. Simply open a new tab, type in the new URL and punch go. That’s it. There are other functions available on the Blackberry Torch as well, such as copying and pasting, altering your homepage, pinch-to-zoom and other touchscreen finger gestures.

Go to your media folder and just tap the file that you want. You’ll discover the interface is responsive as well as intuitive and very easy to follow. At Best Mobile Contracts you can find the latest BlackBerry Torch deals.

The handset runs on a Li-Ion 1300 mAh battery that can deliver up to 5 hours 30 minutes of talk time (2G), up to 432 hours of standby time (2G) and can play back music for up to 30 hours on a single charge.
