The BlackBerry Torch was launched today by Research in Motion. The Phone is designed to match the aesthetic appeal of the iPhone.

The hardware of the phone is quite capable and fast. This phone is powered by the new BlackBerry 6 OS. The interface of the Operating System is very nice. The phone can be operated by both the touch-screen and QWERTY keyboards.

The 624 MHz processor is a little bit underpowered. The phone seemed to lock down as heavy websites start loading. Once loaded the scrolling and zooming is reported to be really smooth. Early reports suggest that the touch screen is not as responsive as the latest phones in the market.

The BlackBerry Torch 9800 has been officially listed in American carrier AT&T’s website . The phone will be exclusive to AT&T’s network in the United States. The Phone will be priced at $199 along with a two year contract.
