BlackBerry Torch 9800 Smartphone

RIM and AT & T announced today the Torch BlackBerry 9800, BlackBerry first that combines a physical keyboard and touch screen, and the first smartphone that runs the new BlackBerry OS 6.

(RIM) on the launch of BlackBerry 9800 Torch on 12 August in New York, said that this is the best smartphone to date. With the launch of BlackBerry torch, RIM is in the aim of reviving the unilateral interests of users of America to its super-secure, super fast smartphones by email

The launch of the iPhone has definitely affected business and RIM launch new handsets running Google's Android operating system, has only made it harder for competition to RIM.

The torch is RIM's first touch phone / keyboard physical sporting the new BlackBerry OS 6 and is a little thicker than some of the other first-line smart phones now. The new smart phone measures 4.4 by 2.4 by 0.6 inches. It weighs 5.68 ounces.

The phone is expected to make a good deal because unlike the BlackBerry Storm and BlackBerry Storm 2, this device has a touch screen. The front of the typical phone has four buttons: Talk, Menu, Back and Power Fin / and the buttons are all over the square optical touchpad.

Despite its growing presence in the consumer market, its main claim to fame - and importance - is as a provider of highly secure and reliable email service," said Ken Hyers analyst with Technology Business Research ( TBR), eWEEK.

The device itself is almost secondary, and I hope that most buyers of the torch, at least initially, will be corporate users to update their current BlackBerry phones. This means that RIM, more than other mobile phone manufacturers, can get away with products that are not as advanced as the service is otherwise the device, "he added.

The torch has a vertical sliding hardware keyboard, which is present in other BlackBerry devices. The slider mechanism is sturdy and the keyboard slides smoothly and easily. Torch keyboard thinner than other BlackBerry models, but they are good. The device features a 3.2 inch touch screen and the new BlackBerry App Store World.

BlackBerry maker Research In Motion was recently banned in the UAE. But reports indicate that the Canadian firm is working between racks to ensure that other countries in the region to follow. In a statement from RIM said it is "committed to continue offering high security and innovative products that meet the needs of customers and governments." However, in apparent response to complaints from the United Arab Emirates that can not handle data traffic BlackBerry, RIM underscored the fact that the BlackBerry security architecture is "on purpose to exclude the ability to RIM or any third party to read encrypted information under any circumstances.

Motorola Backflip (AT&T)

The most memorable of the Backflip Motorola is its design. You may not know that by looking at the phone in a straight line since it has no remarkable features.

The Backflip is Motorola's first smartphone from AT & T that runs on the Android operating system. It is basically a new version of the Motorola Cliq specifications are also similar

The most publicized of this phone is MOTOBLUR software that puts all their social networks in the home screen. In fact, currents MySpace updates, Twitter and Facebook, without having to log on, it keeps you updated in real time to your friends tweets, bylaws, pictures, etc. For information overload, that's all.

Of course, the most exclusive part of this phone is that it opens to the rear, allowing it to hold it on a table for easy viewing of movies, television programs, or update MOTOBLUR flow. It also includes an onscreen keyboard and the phone is really useful in this agreement.

Some final notes on the phone's design: there is a volume rocker, a micro-USB port, and a camera activation / capture button on the right side. At the top is the 3.5mm jack for headphones and the power button / lock, while below the screen, there are touch-sensitive controls for the menu, startup screen, and the Back button. The microSD expansion slot (supports up to 32GB cards) is located behind the battery door, located opposite the recoil.

AT & T covers only the essential elements in the sales package: an AC adapter, USB cable, and reference material. One accessory that likely will not have to get a desktop dock. Opening of the Backflip to a 90 degree angle so the phone sends the media much like the Droid when coupled to the multimedia station, so it will display the date and time, time, and alarm clock. You can also start a slide show and have the Backflip act as a digital photo frame.

As for the keyboard itself, we did very well. It is spacious and square buttons are a good size, minimizing mispresses but we wish they were a little dome-like keyboard Cliq. The keys to provide feedback Nice elastic. The number and symbol keys (marked in blue) doubled with the letters (marked in white), and a nice, bright backlight makes it easy to see if you're in a dark room or outdoors. There are a few shortcuts along the bottom row and the left side for quick access to the Web, search, messaging, and home and menu screens. Also, hidden in the corner of the keyboard is the camera lens and flash.
