Available on Three – BlackBerry® Torch 9810.


The BlackBerry Torch 9810 combines a 3.2” touchscreen, and BlackBerry’s much loved QWERTY keyboard which slides out so that people can type or touch.

The new Torch comes with the updated BlackBerry 7.0 OS, powered by a fast 1.2GHz processor and also offers people more memory to store apps and photos on. A digital compass also lets people use apps such as Wikitude, which will show your BBM contacts and their location through the camera’s display.

Sylvia Chind, head of handsets at Three said, “The exciting new BlackBerry Torch which incorporates QWERTY and Touch functionality into a Slider design offers faster browser page loading times, thanks to the improved processor speeds and Three’s award winning network. I am also excited by BBM6, which integrates BBM into some great apps like Foursquare and WikiTude where you can share information with your BBM Contacts.
