BlackBerry Torch 9860 RIM has finally introduced the much awaited BlackBerry Torch 9860 in India. The phone has also been launched as Torch 9850, which is a US version with CDMA/EVDO support.  Running on BlackBerry OS 7.0, the phone has a 3.7 inch capacitive touchscreen display and a resolution of 800x480 pixels. The specs are somewhat similar to the recently launched Torch 9810 but the sliding physical QWERTY keypad is missing in this BlackBerry.

I wish the phone had support full HD video playback, i.e. 108...
