The Blackberry Bold 9860 Boasts An Impressive Processor

Hot on the heels of the Blackberry 9900 Bold Research In Motion have introduced another handset to their range of models in the shape of the Blackberry Torch 9860. Unlike many other models in the range the Torch 9860 does not offer users a full Qwerty keypad, instead it relies upon a 3.7 inch capacitive screen. Here we take a look at the processor fitted into this new model and also take a look at the new operating system that it uses.

Just like the 9900 Bold this new model offers user some very impressive specification with regards to the processor that it uses. The device makes full use of the excellent 1.2 Ghz single core processor and performance speed is very impressive. Multi tasking facilities are handled easily and the most complex of web pages loads in an instant. There really is no faulting this model in this area and even though the phone does not offer dual cores the processor still performs admirably. An advantage of using a single core processor is that it places less strain on the battery meaning that you can expect excellent life from the 1230mAh cell that is supplied. Typically you can expect around 320 hours of standby time when connected to a 3G network. This figure converts to approximately 6 hours 50 minutes of talktime which makes the phone one of the very best available in this area.

One of the key features of the Blackberry Torch 9680 is its use of the latest version of the Blackberry operating system. Blackberry OS 7.0 offers some big improvements over previous versions and is widely regarded as the best platform the firm has ever released. One area that has seen a vast improvement is the visual appearance of the operating system. Thanks to a new “Liquid Graphics” system users can enjoy a smoother and more stunning interface. This helps the handset to compete with the likes of HTC who have received much acclaim for their excellent looking Sense UI platform. The internet browser that is used on the platform has also undergone some changes which make it much more comparable with other smartphones currently available. The browser now offers enhanced Flash and HTML5 support and pinch to zoom meaning the user can experience an online service similar to what you would expect to find on a laptop or home computer.

The Blackberry Torch 9860 really does benefit from some of the new features that have been added to this model. The operating system is a big improvement over previous version whilst the fast processor ensures users can enjoy a quick and efficient experience.
