RIM Launches Five New BlackBerry Smartphones

Eight FREE BlackBerry Productivity Apps

Research In Motion has launched five new BlackBerry smartphones that will all run the device maker's new BlackBerry 7 operating system. The handsets are the BlackBerry Bold 9900/9930, the BlackBerry Torch 9810 and the Torch 9850/9860, according to the Guardian.

The Bold models, which feature QWERTY keyboards, are the thinnest BlackBerrys to date, have a 1.2GHz processor and are embedded with NFC technology. The Torch 9810 sports the largest resolution BlackBerry screen ever and the Torch 9850/9860 are touchscreen-only devices and match the display of the 9810's 3.7-inch display, notes IT Pro.

RIM, which has been struggling to compete with Android and iOS devices, will launch two more handsets this year and is making good on its plans to have seven new smartphones running the next-generation BlackBerry 7 OS.
