If you want a magic torch in your pocket, BlackBerry has you covered. The BlackBerry Torch 9800 won’t take you to a magical land, but it is a smart phone packed with BlackBerry firsts.

It’s also the first 5-megapixel camera from BlackBerry, complete with face recognition.

The Torch offers the first glimpse of BlackBerry 6, the latest version of the BlackBerry operating system. Features include multi-touch, a new browser and a new interface.
