One of the most important innovations in the mobile phone industry has been the launch of the BlackBerry Torch, which was the first phone to be fusing the touch screen display and the full QWERTY keyboard in one great package. Now, BlackBerry are looking to emulate themselves with the launch of the Blackberry Torch 2, which is going to be the next phone in the Torch series. Even though the exact name with which it will be launched finally in the United Kingdom has not been revealed, it is expected that this will be the name by which it will be called for most of the time before its launch.

The Blackberry Torch 2 will be featuring the much improved feature list than the BlackBerry Torch. Firstly, it will be beginning with the 3.2 inch touch screen display that will be having much better resolution than the previous BlackBerry Torch. This screen will be having a resolution of close to 480 x 640 pixels, which puts the new phone in a different league when compared with the predecessor. Also, by virtue of being capacitive, this phone will be able to support multiple touches and the high resolution screen only serves to make ...
... it look even better. The presence of the full QWERTY keyboard in the phone will not be revealed until you slide the keyboard underneath the touch screen display in the portrait mode. This method is extremely similar to the previous phone and so is the keyboard.

Even though the phone seems to have got a much needed facelift in the form of the keyboard looks, the materials that are used in the keyboard are the same high quality materials that were previously seen in the BlackBerry Torch. The internal memory of the phone will be 8 GB and this can be used to show the multimedia capabilities of the phone in the best possible way. Even though this is going to be mainly used as a business phone, it is still capable of entertaining due to the usage of a fantastic media player in the phone. Apart from playing a number of formats, it will also be getting full use of the 1.2 GHz processor that is used in the phone. This is an extremely powerful processor and this finally brings the BlackBerry phones closer to the tablet PCs of today. This powerful processor will be aptly running the BlackBerry OS 6.1, which will be used in the Blackberry Torch 2 for the first time.

While the difference is between this operating system and the OS 6.0 seems to be extremely limited, it is expected to be better than the predecessor nonetheless. The new phone will be coming with a five megapixel camera that has the all the features that are necessary to make everyone go wow. Some of them include the likes of the image stabilisation and LED flash. The exact launch date of the phone has not been revealed by BlackBerry and so are the prices.
