Launched a couple of months ago in the US, RIM now officially lands its first-ever slide phone, the BlackBerry Torch 9800 in Thailand. The Torch comes in a sleek metal case featuring a 480x360 pixel touch screen, a slide-out full-QWERTY keyboard, and a 5MP camera with auto-focus and flash. The true highlight is that this is the first BB phone to run BlackBerry OS6, the new operating system which promises to offer a much friendlier interface for entertainment apps. Pre-booking at Truemove (B21,900, www.truemove.com/blackberry) and Dtac (price TBA, www.dtac.co.th/blackberry). Hold your breath for the launch date and our phone review, very soon.
