BlackBerry Torch 2 9810 Gets Another Hands On Review

The team at Engadget managed to get their hands on a BlackBerry Torch 2 9810. We have seen quite a bit of this device but this latest review really goes into some nice details. You can tell the reviewer is not a regular BlackBerry user which makes it even more impressive when you hear them saying good things about it even with prerelease software and hardware. Engadget has put up tons of pictures of the device at this link and even more of the OS at this link.

They have only good things to say about the processor bump to 1.2Ghz along with the new high resolution screen that they compare as “night and day” to the original Torch. I am not a bit iPhone user but they claim it is comparable now. Maybe that is what RIM means by Liquid Graphics? They also took a pretty sweet video with the device in 720p HD which actually looks good.

Check out the review at this link and let us know what you think! Hopefully RIM will get around to releasing it or even announcing it soon…
