I'm having a hard time wrapping my head around the fact that the Blackberry smartphone is so popular in Indonesia that it sparked a near riot. RIM chose Jakarta, Indonesia as the place to launch the new Blackberry Bold 9790 smartphone. Hoards of people turned up for the launch event. One of the reasons for such a huge crowd was a special discount.

BlackBerry Torch 9810 Review
It’s been more than a year since we reviewed the BlackBerry Torch 9800, RIM’s hybrid touch/QWERTY slider, and while the company says the smartphone has gone on to be one of their more popular devices, we couldn’t get past the underwhelming screen resolution and easily choked processor. Now, RIM has returned with the BlackBerry Torch 9810, with a faster CPU, more pixels and a copy of the BlackBerry 7 OS. Is it enough to flick the Torch onto full-beam? Check out the SlashGear review after the cut.
BlackBerry Torch 9810 Hands-On [Video]
It’s only really when the display on the new BlackBerry Torch 9810 lights up that you realize you’re looking at a different phone to the original Torch. RIM’s industrial design team looks to have taken a break with this new QWERTY/touch hybrid slider, leaving it little different to the first-gen model. Still, with the relatively low resolution display of the first Torch being one of our primary complaints, we can’t really argue too much with 640 x 480 in comparison.

Offering the much-requested double hit of touchscreen and physical keyboard, in a candybar form-factor, the BlackBerry Bold 9900/9930 also marks the debut of BlackBerry 7 OS. Check out our hands-on report after the cut.
BlackBerry Torch 2 caught in wild: 1.2GHz and VGA display
The BlackBerry leaks keep on coming, with the latest to break cover being the BlackBerry Torch 2. An update to the original slider, the Torch 2 looks ostensibly the same from the outside, says BGR, but on the inside there's a higher-resolution 640 x 480 display and a speedy 1.2GHz processor running BlackBerry OS 6.1.
