14 DAY TRIAL // The upcoming, yet-unannounced BlackBerry Bold Touch smartphone from Canadian mobile phone maker Research In Motion has just been confirmed through the handset vendor's website, where it made a brief appearance.
Not that the phone might have needed confirmation, but it's always good to learn that rumors are on their way to pan out shortly.
The BlackBerry Bold Touch made its first appearance into the wild a few years ago, as the first hybrid BlackBerry smartphone set to ever hit shelves.
Lately, the phone started to make it to the headlines more often, all pointing towards a near unveiling and availability.
RIM is expected to make the handset official as soon as next week during the BlackBerry World conference, and might put it on shelves sometime in summer.
Initially rumored to plan the launch of around three or four new smartphones, RIM was said recently to have decided to unveil only one of them at the conference, though it might actually formally introduce other phones too.
The BlackBerry Bold Touch is expected to arrive on shelves with a 2.8-inch touchscreen display and with a QWERTY keyboard in the popular Bold form factor.
Moreover, the new mobile phone should pack a 1.2GHz application processor which should offer increased performance capabilities when compared to the previously available Bold smartphones.
It would also come with 4GB or more internal memory, a microSD memory card slot with support for more storage space, and a 5-megapixel or so camera on the back.
The new BlackBerry Bold Touch was also rumored to be headed to the market with enhanced connectivity capabilities, GPS receiver, and more.
One other thing that should be mentioned here is that the smartphone was spotted on RIM's website with BlackBerry OS 7 on it, which is the renamed BlackBerry OS 6.1, as reported recently.
BlackBerry World is only a few days ahead, so stay tuned to learn additional info on the new mobile phone.
