Mention all-touch and Blackberry in the same sentence, and it’s tough not to experience an involuntary Storm-shudder. RIM’s belated answer to the iPhone failed to grab it the chunk of the touchscreen smartphone market it expected, and while the Storm 2 was an improvement, the company is yet to entirely convince when there’s no physical keyboard. Third time lucky, perhaps, with the BlackBerry Torch 9850, a compact BlackBerry 7 smartphone (aka the Torch 9860, the only difference being CDMA/GSM connectivity) hoping to convince us that QWERTY-free doesn’t mean zero appeal.
THIS IS BRAND NEW BLACKBERRY 9860 IN ORIGINAL RETAIL BOX, ONLY OPENED FOR UNLOCKING.
