The first BlackBerry smartphone to feature the highly anticipated BlackBerry
6 OS, the BlackBerry Torch offers a unique design that features a hi-resolution
touchscreen display, slide-down full QWERTY keyboard, and optical trackpad.

browsing, and see the details with Pinch to Zoom.
The intuitive new BlackBerry 6 OS includes a rich graphical interface and new
touch menus for quick access to your next action or needed application. It includes a set of pre-loaded apps to get you started,

Vital Statistics
The BlackBerry Torch weighs 5.68 ounces and measures 4.37 x 2.44 x 0.57
inches when closed (5.8 x 2.44 x 0.57 inches when open). It runs on the 850/900/1800/1900 MHz GSM/GPRS/EDGE
frequencies as well as AT&T's dual-band 3G network (850/1900 MHz; HSDPA/UMTS)
plus 2100 MHz overseas 3G networks.
BlackBerry 6 OS
The BlackBerry 6 OS features a redesigned interface that seamlessly works
with both touchscreen and trackpad, includes expanded messaging capabilities
with intuitive features to simplify the management of social networking and RSS
feeds (Social Feeds), and provides integrated access to the BlackBerry Messenger
(BBM), Facebook, Twitter, MySpace, and a variety of instant messaging
applications. And its enhanced multimedia experience includes a dedicated
YouTube app and Podcasts app.
Advanced Messaging
Messaging has always been a core element of the BlackBerry smartphone
experience. With BlackBerry's push email technology, your email will find you
without having to initiate a connection. And with the new Text Messages
application on the BlackBerry Torch, with support for AT&T's next-generation
messaging experience, you'll enjoy group messaging with "reply all"
functionality for up to 10 contacts and AT&T's Locations feature.
Locations lets you easily search for points of interest, businesses, and even
the your own location, and insert this information directly into a message--all
without leaving the messaging application. Using group messaging and locations
together, you can arrange to meet a group of friends easily by sending one
message to all of them, discussing together where to meet and then sending a map
in one threaded conversation.

Rich PC-like Web Browsing
Enjoy a full-fidelity, desktop-like browsing experience with the revamped
BlackBerry Web browser, which includes intuitive motions like pinching and
zooming, and tabs that let you swap between multiple Web pages.
Universal Search
Looking for something? The new universal search feature scans your folders,
apps, Internet, email, music, videos, and more all in one search and doesn't
stop until it finds what you're looking for.
Multitasking Made Easy
Multitasking is just another one of those things BlackBerry has been doing
right from the beginning. Now Research In Motion (RIM) has gone a step above
with multi-connectivity, meaning your apps stay connected whether you're using
them or not. Regardless of what you're doing, emails, messages, updates, and
notifications keep coming through.
All Media, All The Time
With BlackBerry 6, the multimedia experience has been completely overhauled,
enabling you to carry, watch and share your videos, pictures, files, and more.
With Remote Media Sync you can now access your home music library right from
your BlackBerry smartphone. Scrolling through your music is as easy as swiping
through album art, and you can watch and subscribe to podcasts that are pushed
to you as soon as they become available.
Corporate Connections
For corporate users, this BlackBerry device delivers all the enterprise email
and messaging capabilities you've come to expect. It's supported on the
BlackBerry Internet Service, giving you access to up to 10 work or personal
email accounts (including most popular ISP email accounts), as well as
BlackBerry Enterprise Server, enabling advanced security and IT administration
