Crazy right the title.
I had to read the press releases to MAKE SURE i didn’t get the numbers wrong!
BlackBerry is frikkin insane for launching so many models at the same time.
There’s going to be a frenzy.

All these new models will be available in Malaysia via majar carriers from 15th September onwards.
What makes them all the more better is that they’re all operating on BlackBerry 7.

And what makes BlackBerry 7 so significant is:
– browsing results are 40% faster than BlackBerry 6 smartphones
– optimized zooming and panning for smoother web navigation
– optimized HTML5 performance for sharper gaming and vid experiences
– includes a number of other pre-loaded applications and integrated functionality
– The Premium version of Documents To Go is included – document editing features
– BlackBerry® Protect is pre-loaded*, so personal data can be backed up, users can locate their misplaced BlackBerry smartphone using GPS or remotely turn up the ringer for an audible notification if their handset is close-by.
– BlackBerry® Balance is integrated in BlackBerry 7, allowing users to enjoy the full BlackBerry smartphone experience for both work and personal purposes without compromising the IT department’s need for advanced security and IT controls. The popular universal search capability has also been enhanced with support for voice-activated search, so users can now simply speak to begin searching their device and the web for information.

First of all, i’m gonna admit that i missed out on taking a picture of the BlackBerry Bold 9900.
Jezmine tweeted me to take a pic of it and i left already cos i didn’t want to miss my yoga class
plus everyone was crowding around the phones (damn so many tech and lifestyle bloggers/media :p)

Still, i really wanted to attend the event and HOLD ALL the phones in my hands so i personally know which is what!
Just forgot about the Bold 9900 sorry!
Here, look at the pix and specs *HERE*

To be truthful, i managed to view the phones by harrassing Ben from BlackBerry SG.
He was chilling outside,
i got a bit claustrophobic with so many people wanting to look at the phones exhibited
so i went outside to kacau him.
And he had most of the models on him

The first one i wanted to take a picture of was the BlackBerry Torch 9810:

This is larger than life cos i just put my hand up to my screen and my fingers are really small in real life!
I first noticed this sexy Torch when Ben was carrying it at the PlayBook launch.
It’s metallic, slim and really classy… plus i somehow like that it’s a slide phone.
Almost stole it from him when drunk.

“The BlackBerry Torch 9810 is a powerful evolution of the BlackBerry Torch 9800.
The new smartphone is faster and more fluid with high performance hardware features and the new BlackBerry 7 OS delivering an enhanced multimedia experience.
Featuring a large 3.2”-high resolution touch display and a distinctive BlackBerry keyboard that easily slides out to allow fast typing, the BlackBerry Torch 9810 truly delivers the best of both worlds.”

For those who prefer something that wholly touch screen, 
there’s the new BlackBerry Torch 9860:

“The BlackBerry Torch 9860 smartphone offers a fast and fluid performance in a stylish new all-touch design.
With a spectacular new 3.7” display, the largest ever on a BlackBerry smartphone, the new all-touch BlackBerry Torch 9860 smartphone is optimized for high-quality multimedia, web browsing and gaming.
In addition, as would be expected, the Torch 9860 also delivers an outstanding real-time communication and collaboration experience that is loved by millions of BlackBerry smartphone users around the world.”

Besides launching 2 new Torches and 1 Bold,
BlackBerry also launched the new Curve 9360
(release date TBC)

This Curve is reputedly the SLIMMEST BlackBerry phone out there…
Seriously, it’s SO SMALL.
And MY HANDS are small!
After the new slide Torch, this is a close second favourite of mine…
it’s so perfect for girls.

“The new BlackBerry Curve smartphones have:
– ergonomically designed with a comfortable and iconic keyboard for fast, accurate typing and an optical trackpad for easy, one-handed navigation
– GPS and Wi-Fi® support
– 5MP camera with flash and video recording
– microSD/SDHC slot supports up to 32 GB memory cards”
