Research In Motion (RIM) has released four new BlackBerry devices, namely the Bold 9900, Torch 9860, Torch 9810 and the Curve 9360.
All the new smartphones feature the latest BlackBerry 7 operating system, which has enhanced graphics capability as well as up to 40% improvement in web browser speed.
The Bold 9900 is touted as the "ultimate BlackBerry," with a 2.8in (640 x 480-pixel resolution) touchscreen, large Qwerty keypad, 5-megapixel digital camera with 720p HD video recording, GPS, WiFi a/b/g/n and HSPA support.
Next up is the Torch 9860, which features the largest screen ever built into a BlackBerry phone, a 3.7in display.
The Torch 9860 is a completely touchscreen driven device with no physical Qwerty keypad.
If you like a physical keypad, then perhaps the Torch 9810 is the one you want - this device has a slightly smaller 3.2in touchscreen but also comes with a slide-out keypad.
Finally, RIM also unveiled the Curve 9360 for the first time.
The Curve 9360 is a very slim device - it's thinner than the Bold 9900 - and comes with a 2.44in (480 x 360-pixel resolution) display, GPS, WiFi b/g/n and microSD card slot.
The prices and availability of the Torch 9860, Torch 9810 and Curve 9360 have yet to be finalised, but the Bold 9900 will be available from Celcom, DiGi and Maxis starting Sept 15. The list price for the Bold 9900 is RM2,188
