    I am a die-hard BB user, just because I need to be online on mails. For me, it is a dream coming true. A bigger, better capacitive touch screen, 1.2 GHz processor, more RAM, more storage, and still I can use BIS services! It is like getting both the worlds in your hand. My only grudge is it is a bit late. Why can't I get it today? I am in no mood to wait.

      I can't really wait to replace My Torch 9800 smartphone with this new one, it just keeps up to date with the competition from the droids!

        Wow,now this is called coming upto competition. The only competition of BB is BB itself. and the specs on this new Torch is awesome. BB really does not need to pay attention to iOS or Android or anyone else as they cater to a niche segment.

        P.S will this one be available in White?

          Get real!, 26 May 2011Why are you guy badmouthing devices in which you're clearly not interested in? What might be '... moreI agree, I am happy with my Torch it does all I need it to and well. Call quality is great, email very functional and unlike droids is data secure.
          People need to ask, what do they want, and thing with a bit higher spec, with no great impreoved functionality, with apps you never use and a hefty price tag, for your latest, childish, look what I've got.....or a phone that works.

            Seems like the new torch is merely a 9900 with a slider, like the 9780 was to the 1st torch.

              Yup, TOTALLY agree with Oflife, the Torch 2 running Android would be an instant best-seller! Those rectangular slab phones are so uninteresting...!

                  What about Adobe Flash Support in Web Browesr? Obviously this fone will not cost less then 650 USD. Its always a nice option to buy Android 2.2 OS fones with all the features on board for not more then 150 USD. Just for BBM & Emailing its not worth guys.

                    What's taking RIM so long to port it's QNX OS to their cellphone line? It looks great and feels great on the PlayBook. Why can't they put it on their BBs?

                        Thanks for the upgrade RIM, only 2 things that need attention, battery life on 3G and then also camera size otherwise Black Berry is the bomb! I have got a torch and loving it, with BIS included naturally.

                            actually with that screen size, it would be nice if it comes in the droid pro form factor...

                              " it is enough technology for many people who do not seek the 'latest' but a functioning tool to get the job done."

                              Fair enough...Just don't go and still make it easy for RIM to demand the "LATEST" RRPs per BB model then?What's their idea of value propositions when stacked against many many more capable phones in said price range?Look at any launched BBs' unlocked prices and you'll see that it's way way too close to competing midrange and even some older top end smartphones?

                                gunnz, 26 May 2011Why are you guys hyping up improvements that most if them are last years standards? By the ... moreWhy are you guy badmouthing devices in which you're clearly not interested in? What might be 'last year's standard' for you is 'new features' for a whole lot of people upgrading their contracts / devices from 2 years ago!

                                Only because this phone might not meet your ***high*** standards, it is enough technology for many people who do not seek the 'latest' but a functioning tool to get the job done.

                                  I'm a Canadian and even I know BB sucks. I have been to RIM park in Waterloo. They are in denial. The business segment of cell phones is now the minority, and unless BB wants to end up there as well, they need a HUGE leap forward in technology. As someone else said, these specs would be great. In 2008.

                                      A form factor like this running Android would be superb. The Torch is not a bad little phone, but is constrained by RiM's own OS. What other phone offers a large touch screen and a slide out keyboard - in the easier to type with one hand candybar format? (Desire Z requires two hands.)

                                        "Screen too small should be 4.5"

                                        Here's the thing.Torch 2 is designed as a "portrait" not landscape QWERTY slider, thus the emphasis on "1 handedness" usage.Going 4.5" is a bit over the top for it to be of any 1 handedness useful but I do agree that 3.2" needs to die for the model.Anywhere between 3.5" - 4" tops is more realistic.Having that said to scale the screen up would only make sense if RIM allows for better res but so far this isn't the case for Torch 2.

                                        Makes you wonder about however good BB OS 7 will/can be, why is it that current crackberry addicts aren't demanding a bit more for their much beloved choice of smartphones?
