AT&T & RIM Launches Balckberry Torch 9800: First Smartphone with Blackberry 6 OS

Wednesday, August 4, 2010 Posted by John 0 comments
Joining forces to offer the first smartphone to feature the highly anticipated BlackBerry 6 exclusively on the nation's fastest mobile broadband network, AT&T & Research In Motion (RIM) today introduced the new BlackBerry Torch 9800 smartphone. Adept for socially connected consumers and packed with the tools business customers love, the new handset is the world's first smartphone to combine a BlackBerry keyboard with a full touch screen experience. Whether users choose to type out messages on the capacitive touch screen or easy-to-use BlackBerry keyboard, browse the Internet using pinch to zoom or fluidly navigate with the optical trackpad, the BlackBerry Torch allows them to communicate any way they want.

"We were the first to launch the BlackBerry solution in 1999 and have a rich history of innovation and collaboration with Research In Motion," said Ralph de la Vega, president and chief executive officer, AT&T Mobility and Consumer Markets. "The two companies that brought the first BlackBerry smartphones to market have teamed up again with the new BlackBerry Torch, creating a true generational shift in hardware and operating system for this enormously popular service."

"This is one of the most significant launches in RIM's history and we are proud to introduce the new BlackBerry Torch and BlackBerry 6 together with AT&T," said Mike Lazaridis, president and co-ceo, Research In Motion. "With a new user interface, new browser and new handset design, the highly anticipated BlackBerry Torch and BlackBerry 6 deliver integrated and uncompromising capabilities for consumers and business professionals that preserve the industry-leading strengths of the BlackBerry platform while adding exciting new dimensions."

BlackBerry 6:
The BlackBerry Torch is the first BlackBerry smartphone to launch with BlackBerry 6, a new operating system that retains the familiar and trusted features that distinguish the BlackBerry brand while delivering a fresh, approachable and engaging experience that's powerful and easy to use.

BlackBerry 6 features a redesigned interface that seamlessly works with the touch screen 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 various instant messaging applications available on the BlackBerry Torch smartphone. Its enhanced multimedia experience rivals the best in the industry and includes a dedicated YouTube app and Podcasts app.

BlackBerry 6 also integrates a new and rich WebKit-based browser on BlackBerry Torch that renders HTML web pages (as well as HTML email) quickly and beautifully for a great browsing experience. It features tabs for accessing multiple sites simultaneously, pinch to zoom for easy navigation and an auto-wrap text zoom feature that can intelligently wrap text in a column while maintaining the placement of a page's key elements (simply double-tap on the BlackBerry Torch).

Universal search, always accessible from the Home Screen, allows users to search through email, messages, contacts, music, videos and more on the smartphone, as well as extend search to the Internet or to discover applications on BlackBerry App World.

Advanced Messaging:
Messaging has always been a core element of the BlackBerry smartphone experience and the BlackBerry Torch smartphone expands on RIM's popular messaging solutions with the support of AT&T's advanced messaging features for SMS and MMS. RIM's new Text Messages application is especially exciting for users who communicate most via SMS and MMS, providing support for AT&T's next-generation messaging experience, which includes group messaging with "reply all" functionality for up to 10 contacts. And for the first time, AT&T's platform includes a new Locations feature.

Locations lets users easily search for points of interest, businesses, and even the user's own location, and insert this information directly into a message, all without leaving the messaging application. Using group messaging and locations together, users 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 – all in one threaded conversation. AT&T designed the service based on research that revealed customers want features that help facilitate social planning, improved message organization and location sharing.

Apps At Your Fingertips:
After powering up the BlackBerry Torch smartphone for the first time, users will notice a set of pre-loaded icons which allow them to download and immediately begin using a variety of rich entertainment and social networking applications to access Bloomberg, ESPN, The Weather Channel and Slacker Radio content in addition to Facebook, MySpace, Twitter and more. Also available is AT&T's Web Video Search, a unique new app that searches video content from over 70 major Internet video websites.

In addition to searching the Internet for video, the BlackBerry Torch smartphone also features more multimedia apps that let users download TV shows and watch live TV, as well as create video content and upload it to YouTube. The new Podcasts application makes it easy for users to find and manage audio and video podcasts.

Another application that puts a key function of a phone at your fingertips is Visual Voicemail, which benefits customers by allowing them to select the voicemails they want to hear first.

The BlackBerry Torch 9800 is also the first BlackBerry smartphone to include BlackBerry App World pre-installed, supporting carrier billing through AT&T, making it easier for customers to discover and purchase applications.

BlackBerry Storm 2 Smart Mobile Phone Will Launch in September

Tuesday, May 5, 2009 Posted by John 0 comments
Research In Motion (RIM) will debut an upgraded BlackBerry Storm 2 Smart Phone in September, SlashGear is reporting. According to "a source very close to the issue," the BlackBerry Storm 2 mobile will support Wi-Fi-a significant omission in the first-generation BlackBerry Storm mobile, which debuted last fall on Verizon Wireless.

The man at the helm of the affairs, RIM CEO Jim Ballsillie, has reportedly confirmed that RIM is currently "engineering" the BlackBerry Storm successor and will target the untapped mainstream consumer audience, which now comprises more than half of the 25 million RIM subscribers.

The report offers few BlackBerry Storm 2 Mobile details, but it's likely that RIM will upgrade the Storm's much-maligned SurePress click screen, which many reviewers reported was sluggish and awkward to use. Since the BlackBerry Storm is RIM's answer to the iPhone, a mediocre interface would likely be the first issue to address.

Recent rumors say the BlackBerry Storm 2 mobile will also include a 5-megapixel camera, an upgraded display, and a screen keyboard that's easier to type on. A slide-out keyboard? Probably not. If Blackberry fans want a physical keyboard, they already have plenty of worthy options, including the BlackBerry Curve and the BlackBerry Pearl.

Despite its shortcomings, the BlackBerry Storm has proven very popular. It was the third best selling consumer smart phone in the U.S. last quarter, according to market research firm The NPD Group.

RIM seems to be making all the right moves now. The BlackBerry Storm's sibling, the more traditional BlackBerry Curve, bumped the iPhone out of the top spot to become America's most popular smart phone in Q1 2009.

BlackBerry 9630 Niagara Phone Launch in May by Verizon Wireless

Friday, March 20, 2009 Posted by John 0 comments
BlackBerry 9630 "Niagara" as the next-generation BlackBerry 8830 World Edition. It's hard to say which carrier will land this new device first, But Now we can say that Verizon Wireless launch this smart phone in May.

This time we have some release news for you, all you Verizon Wireless folks with dirty, battered and broken BlackBerry Curves may have cause for celebration if this latest rumor pans out. Word on The Street is the BlackBerry 9630 Niagara will debut on Verizon Wireless in May. This would place the 9630 launch a year after the Curve 8330 launched on Big Red and not a moment too soon for the Curve's early adopters. Perhaps not so coincidentally, WES just so happens to be in May so don't be surprised if the 9630 makes its first official appearance there. Unfortunately there are no words on pricing or any other details as yet — keep patience, young grasshopper.

The BlackBerry 9630 itself is really a mash-up of RIM's BlackBerry Bold, BlackBerry Curve 8900 and BlackBerry Storm. Size-wise it fits somewhere in the middle between the 8900 and Bold, and it shares design influences from both. Though smaller, the 9630's keyboard is of same style as the Bold, with no spaces between the keys and "guitar frets" between the rows. The 9630's display is the same as the Curve 8900's, as is the layout and type of ports/buttons around the perimeter of the device. And with the 9630 being a world phone, under the battery cover the 'guts' are basically the same as the BlackBerry Storm in terms of processor (528) and radios (though layout is of course different). And like the Storm and Curve 8900 both, the 9630 gets the new and improved 3.2 mega pixel camera.

Verizon Blackberry 9630 - The new BlackBerry 9630 Smart Phone AKA called Niagara, which is supported with CDMA 1x EV-DO Rev. It will be a "world edition" because it will support CDMA and GSM with variants of 3G for both standards. But does not support Wi-Fi and this is very disappointed that Wi-Fi is very important, especially for businessman.

The 9630 is a CDMA combination of the Bold, Curve 8900 and Storm, with the most obvious tweaks being to the size and the keyboard (both in-between the 8900 and the Bold) with the processor and radio of the CDMA Storm.

Currently the handset is running OS 4.7.1.10, which is less than functionally-ideal, so they'll be loading up a newer build to test out the software. As for the hardware, though, the 3.2-megapixel camera is a big improvement, though there's sadly no WiFi support.

Time to stop off this hands-on first look at the BlackBerry 9630 review and go play with it some more.
