A new BlackBerry called Torch 9800 has been announced. The BlackBerry Torch 9800 want to be a competitor for the iPhone 4G. Looks like the BlackBerry Torch is close to defeat the new iPhone 4G. The Canadian company Research In Motion (RIM) on Tuesday introduced a new model of its BlackBerry smartphone called BlackBerry Torch 9800, which aims to attract more clients and happened to stand up to 4 brand new iPhone, which Apple has sold three million units in the first 22 days.RIM is the largest producer in the world of smart phones (smartphones) with a market share of 19 percent, behind Finland’s Nokia, which controls 41 percent of the market, according to recent data provided by Canalys. His best-selling occur in the United States, where it maintains a leading position with a share of 33 percent, while another recent survey released this week by Nielsen detailing that 58 percent of BlackBerry Torch users switching to another model weighs in next purchase .
So the international launch of the BlackBerry Torch is transcendent music to the Canadian firm, which also hopes to boost sales to capture some of the juicy pie of the booming smartphone segment led so far by Nokia, but seriously threatened by the system Google’s Android operating. In the U.S., RIM has reached an exclusive agreement to launch with AT & T to market the BlackBerry Torch from next Thursday 12 August, at a price of $ 199 (151 euros) with a commitment to stay for two years. The U.S. carrier will give its customers choose between two options for monthly plans: $ 15 (11.3 euros) for wireless data 200 MB or 25 dollars (18.9 euros) for 2 GB.
What’s new is that BlackBerry Torch provides different from other cell of the same brand? Many, but one of the most important is that it is the first in the series that has awesome features, the new BlackBerry OS 6, which includes a redesigned interface that works interchangeably with touchscreen and trackpard. According to the company advanced on Tuesday, the day of its international launch of the new BlackBerry Torch 9800, the BlackBerry operating system 6 provides multiple views help to better organize content and applications. The icons are arranged on the main screen with five custom views (All, Favorites, Media, Downloads and FAQ) for which can be navigated by sliding your finger.

The BlackBerry Torch device measures 11.2 inches long, weighs 161 grams and has a capacitive touch screen 3.2 inch, or slightly smaller than the iPhone iOS4, which offers 3.5 inches.
Although comparisons are often odious, in terms of resolution and, on paper, your Apple also wins because it guarantees 960×640 pixels compared to 360×480 RIM’s cell phone, the BlackBerry Torch. One of the highly praised by all experts is precisely the quality that characterizes the display of the new iPhone, which incorporates Retina Display, mechanism to reproduce photographs and videos of distinction.

Well that sux! Why on earth would they launch exclusive with AT&T? I am a sprint customer and blackberry user. Was excited about the Torch. Have no desire to switch carriers and won’t be doing that. Guess it will be awhile before I get a new blackberry…

What is an iPhone 4G?
There is no such thing.
It’s called the iPhone 4.
Calling it the iPhone 4G is incorrect and misleading.
AT&T does not have a 4G network only 3G. Only Sprint supports a 4G speed wireless network and they have phones that support 4G speeds. (ex. EVO 4G)
The iPhone also does not have capabilities to run on a 4G network.
The reason the iPhone 3G was dubbed that name was because the original iPhone did not support a 3G network so by releasing there second phone (with 3G support) it got that name.
Sorry, I would think a credible news source such as this would be making the correct distinction.
