BlackBerry Torch: Bigger but Needs More Viagra


AT&T and RIM’s  BlackBerry Torch hit the stores this week. The new device marks the first to ship with version 6 of BlackBerry’s OS which is very important launch for RIM.

Although, RIM has finally  realized, the larger the display screen, the better, but the company totally missed the  phone’s mojos – a) the processor which is only 624 MHz,  b) the low-resolution screen! It’s way too slow compare to other smartphones in the market – in particular iPhone 4.

The two carriers are the main players in CDMA space. Read more of this post

What Happens In Vegas, Certainly Will Not Stay In Vegas This Time

I decided to take a break from Awesome Washington DC last week. So, I headed to Vegas for the CTIA event.
