Folk at Crackberry has dismantled the brand new Blackberry Torch and sharing what’s inside of the latest offering from RIM. Not every phone out there receive the same treat, unless for high profile phone like this. The dismantling process reveal parts used in Blackberry Torch especially the slider mechanism. Well, not expecting you to know what each part is, but at least you have little idea what’s inside your next phone, in case this is phone that you’re dreaming off.
I know many will regret buying Blackberry smartphone now, except for model such as Bold 9700 and Bold 9650. The reason is very obvious, all Blackberry model except stated below is totally not compatible with Blackberry 6, the latest OS unveiled today. Yes, not even part of it. Zero! I for one, asking only for the new browser that support webkit for my Blackberry 8520, yes that’s one, but I know now that is impossible.
Probably, it is time to say good bye. Well, I know Storm 2 users even more frustrated because their phone is more expensive and newer.. The incompatibility is due to that, all these devices are having lower than 512 RAM, which I think is not really helpful for us to understand what’s the issue is. At least, give us part of the upgrade, if not all, at least we’re not feeling sidelined by RIM! “Compatibility with Existing BlackBerry Smartphones
BlackBerry 6 will debut on the new BlackBerry® Torch™ smartphone (announced today) available from AT&T on August 12 and it is also designed to run on select BlackBerry smartphones already in market. Subject to carrier certifications in the months ahead, the new OS is expected to be available for the BlackBerry® Bold™ 9700, BlackBerry® Bold™ 9650 and BlackBerry® Pearl™ 3G, as well as future BlackBerry smartphones.”
