Blackberry Torch 2 pictures appear

We heard about the successor to the popular Blackberry Torch back in January, but since then manufacturer RIM have done a pretty good job of keeping a lid on it. Until now..

Undercover snaps of the front and back of the forthcoming Blackberry Torch 2 have surfaced over at TechnoBuffalo. What we’ve been treated to is a sneak peek at an evaluation unit sent out by RIM to a tester. We can’t see a huge amount from the pictures, but the specification for the Torch is as follows:

    * 1.2GHz processor
    * Quad-band GSM/GPRS/EDGE
    * Tri-band HSPA 14.4Mbps
    * 3.2-inch VGA 640 x 480 capacitive display
    * 8GB built-in memory
    * 512MB RAM
    * Bluetooth 2.1
    * GPS
    * NFC
    * 5-megapixel camera with flash
    * Magnetometer
    * Accelerometer
    * Proximity sensor
    * 1300 mAh battery
    * BlackBerry OS 6.1
    * OpenGL ES
    * 14.6mm thin

The Torch 2 is expected to launch with the brand new Blackberry OS 7 software which was announced by RIM a short while back. Along with the ramped up specs, the Torch 2 should be a much faster flagship smartphone in the Blackberry range.
