BlackBerry Torch 9810 and 9860 now available in the UK

Two of the newest BlackBerry smartphones which come with a touchscreen are now finally available to purchase in the UK. The BlackBerry Torch 9810 and Torch 9860 sport very similar names, yet their predecessors couldn't be more different. If the 9810 is, as implied by its model number, the successor to the Torch 9800, even having the same form factor, the Torch 9860 is supposed to follow up the failed Storm series of all-touchscreen BlackBerry devices. We'll have to wait and see if it will manage to outperform its predecessors.

Anyway, regardless of whether you like your BlackBerry to be portrait sliding, or just a big touchscreen, you're in luck. The Torch 9810 is now in stock at both The Smartphone Centre and Clove. The former charges you £474.95 for the handset, shipping included. If you go with the latter, you'll only have to shell out £430.80, although shipping isn't free.

The BlackBerry Torch 9860 can now be yours for £414.95 if you get it from The Smartphone Centre, or £418.80 if you place an order at Clove. Shipping is handled similarly to the Torch 9810.
