RIM launches BlackBerry Torch 9860 in India, at Rs. 28,490

RIM has launched its top-end BlackBerry Torch model in India, the BlackBerry Torch 9860. The BlackBerry Torch 9860 runs on the BlackBerry 7 OS, and features a 3.7-inch capacitive touchscreen, with a resolution of 480x800 pixels, roughly translating to pixel density of 252 ppi. RIM has priced the Torch 9860 at Rs. 28,490 in India - a price that might seem steep, but definitely on the reasonable side compared other top-end BlackBerry offerings.

The BlackBerry Torch 9860 is one of the latest additions to the BlackBerry lineup, featuring modern specifications (for RIM) that should help it compete with its contemporaries. It features a 1GHz processor along with 768MB of RAM, and so, should not be a slouch. It also comes with an optical trackpad, a 5MP autofocus camera, and 4GB of inbuilt storage.

The new BlackBerry 7 OS is also reportedly faster than ever before, with a brand new browser, new features, and workspace management features. For more details about BlackBerry 7 OS, refer to our previous coverage, here and here.
