BlackBerry, Torch
Keeping your Security Business running with the latest top-of-the-range BlackBerry – which has a touchscreen and a slide-out QWERTY keypad,
The BlackBerry Torch has a touchscreen that works just like the ones on other smartphones such as the HTC Desire and Samsung Galaxy S. Tap or swipe it with your finger and it responds fast. And when you want to type a text or email quickly and easily – perhaps to say you’ll be home late from work – simply slide out the familiar BlackBerry QWERTY keypad from behind the touchscreen.
Easy to use laptop-style trackpad
The touch-sensitive trackpad is similar to the ones you find on laptops – as well as on the Bold 9700 and Curve 9300 It makes life easy when you’re browsing the web, scrolling through menus or enjoying some downtime on your favourite social networks.
The BlackBerry Torch is more customisable
The Torch is the first BlackBerry smartphone to come with the BlackBerry 6 operating system. It lets you do more to personalise your home screen – like grouping together shortcuts to apps, email, texts and more in any way that suits you. It’s great for getting your life organised on your BlackBerry.
Pinch-to-zoom comes to the BlackBerry Torch
Get closer to the details in a web page by putting your thumb and finger together on the BlackBerry Torch’s touchscreen and moving them apart – you’ll zoom in instantly. Pinch the other way to zoom back out. It’s the first time a BlackBerry smartphone has had this handy feature. And if you want to check your Facebook page while you read the news online, open both windows at once and simply flip between the two.
The best BlackBerry camera yet
Unlike previous BlackBerry smartphones such as the Bold 9700 or Storm2, the BlackBerry Torch has an improved 5 megapixel camera. It’s also got auto-focus – because no one likes fuzzy photos – plus image stabilisation, making your shots sharp even when your hands aren’t perfectly steady.
Take photos without the wait
You know how it is with some camera phones – you press the button to take a photo, and you have to wait before it actually captures the shot you want. Life’s simpler with the BlackBerry Torch. A clever new technology called ‘Zero shutter’ means that as soon as you click to take a picture, it’s done. It’s a feature you won’t find on the Bold 9700 or Storm2.
The BlackBerry Torch – built for social networking
Love to tweet what you’re up to when you’re out and about? Or catch up with Facebook in the park while you have lunch? Or maybe you want to network with potential clients via LinkedIn. You’ll find apps for all your favourite social networks on the BlackBerry Torch. Switch between them effortlessly – no need to shut one to use the other – and share your holiday photos with everyone back home easily (while you’re still on the beach).
Stay in touch with BlackBerry Messenger
Just like with all BlackBerry smartphones, you can chat to your mates and your colleagues instantly using BlackBerry Messenger if they’ve got a BlackBerry smartphone. It’s faster than sending a text – and the slide-out QWERTY keypad makes it easy too..
