More BlackBerry models will be coming out from RIM, and they are expected to debut at BlackBerry World in May. New models include the BlackBerry Torch 2, BlackBerry Touch, BlackBerry Bold Touch and BlackBerry Curve Touch with some new touches.
Most of the sneak peaks at the new line of BlackBerry smartphones show faster processors (1.2GHz) and NFC (Near Field Communication) payment capabilities. Some models already show mobile hotspot functionality. The new touch that RIM has added to the models is that the BlackBerry smartphones work with touch functions as well as with other input modes.
The next BlackBerry Torch, the BlackBerry Torch 2, has been revealed, and it looks like the original BlackBerry Torch, with more spectacular specs. The BlackBerry Torch 2 will have a 640x400 touchscreen, 1.2GHz processor, and will run with BlackBerry 6.1. Like the previous BlackBerry Torch, it will have a camera, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth and social media features.
The BlackBerry Torch 2 is expected to launch on AT&T in July.
The BlackBerry Bold Touch 9850 is the same QWERTY on the bottom BlackBerry design, except you can use the screen as the touchscreen, and it has the power to create mobile hotspots. The BlackBerrry Bold Touch has a 1.2GHz processor, 5MP camera, a 2.8" touchscreen, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, NFC, and 8GB memory onboard expandable up to 32GB MicroSD card.
The BlackBerry Touch is a pure touchscreen smartphone that looks like a BlackBerry Torch without a slide-out keyboard. Formerly known as the BlackBerry Monaco, the BlackBerry Touch will run BlackBerry OS 6.1 and will require a BlackBerry ID login to use the phone. BlackBerry OS 6.1 will supposedly support augmented reality apps and NFC payments.
Speculated specs of the BlackBerry Touch 9930 include a 1.2GHz processor, 758MB of RAM, a 3.7" 800x400 touchscreen, 5-megapixel camera/video camcorder, 4GB internal storage, Wi-Fi, mobile hotspot, GPS and 3G data connectivity.
Also expected is a BlackBerry Curve Touch..
