Pocket-Lint: The BlackBerry Torch 9860 is a 3.7-inch touchscreen smartphone, sweeping aside the Storm name to give RIM another crack at a keyboardless device.
PRNewsWire - AT&T delivers the broadest portfolio of BlackBerry® 7 -based smartphones, including three 4G models β the Bold 9900, the all-touch Torch 9860, and the previously-released Torch 9810, the first 4G BlackBerry smartphone from AT&T. All 3 4G smartphones take advantage of AT&T's 4G HSPA+ network to deliver network speeds nearly up to four times faster than most previous 3G BlackBerry smartphones. In addition to the three 4G options, AT&T is also releasing the new BlackBerry Curve 9360 smartphone, which is a significant upgrade of the Curve series, and a great option for messaging-intensive and socially active consumers and business users.
It's always nice to be able to have choice, but sometimes too much choice makes it near impossible to make a decision.
Take the BlackBerry Torch 9860. Not that long ago, if you wanted a BlackBerry you pretty much had the Bold or the Curve, with the Storm being the ugly duckling.
Now that ugly duckling has turned into a swan in the form of the 9860.
