14 DAY TRIAL // Canadian mobile phone maker Research In Motion has been using a four-digit model number for its BlackBerry handsets so far, but it seems that it is about to change that.
Rumor has it that the company is gearing up for the release of a BlackBerry Torch 10000. A help site maintained by handset-insurer Asurion broke the news, though nothing has been officially confirmed so far.
Chances are that the handset vendor will move to the new naming scheme as soon as the first devices running under the BlackBerry 10 OS will emerge on shelves.
The upcoming Torch smartphone should be QNX-powered, which means that it would also pack higher hardware specifications.
A dual-core application processor should be packed inside it, along with a high-resolution camera and the like. The phone might hit shelves sometime in the second half of the next year.
