Two More New BlackBerries Leaked: Curve and Torch 2

BGR has hit the mother load and completely outed a good chunk of RIM’s 2011 product launch schedule. First, there was the qwerty + touchscreen “Dakota”. And now, two more devices (Curve and Torch 2) have been revealed. The Curve is yet another refresh of RIM’s tried and true full-qwerty BlackBerry that has made the company millions. The Torch 2 is the company’s most recent addition that brings a new horizontal-sliding form factor. As far as specs go, the new Curve features quad-band GSM/GPRS/EDGE and tri-band UMTS, 512 eMMC/512MB RAM, HVGA 480 x 360 display, 5-megapixel camera, WiFi b/g/n, Bluetooth, GPS, NFC and Tavor MG-1 800MHz CPU. The Torch 2 ups the ante a bit with a 2.8″ 640 x 480 display, 768MB RAM, 4GB of internal storage, WiFi g/n on 2.4GHz + 5GHz frequencies, 3G mobile hotspot support, NFC, Magnetometer/Accelerometer/Proximity sensor, and the same quad/tri-band of radios.

For a BlackBerry, they’re getting sleeker and (finally) more powerful. But I’m afraid without the new and exciting QNX operating system it’s nothing but more of the same.

    Wow, thanks for the update. There are a ton of new versions of the top smart phones coming out. And, with the iPhone coming to Verizon, it will be very difficult to choose which one to get. How do you think the Windows phone will stack up to these competitors?

      Personally, I like Windows Phone 7′s whole “less is more” ideology. At the same time, I feel it’s a bit too simple for my tastes. But that’s not to say it won’t take off as features and new hardware are added. It will be a slow trek, but I think WP7 will eventually command a rather hefty portion of the mobile market.
