The folks over at MacBerry posted up another clip of the BlackBerry Torch 9860 late yesterday showing off more of its exterior up close and personal as well as the OS itself.  As expected the OS is a bit buggy, but that’s normal to see before a device launches.  What I really want to see is more of typing on the device and how rapid you can type.  A nice factor in the Torch 9860 would be if typing were as easy as real buttons, which is nearly impossible in my opinion but can get pretty close.

Yesterday we got to see some more leaked images of the BlackBerry Torch 9860, and today we get a video once again, as we’ve seen brief ones in the past already.  This clip shows us more of a hands on with the Torch 9860 which only excites us more for it.  I’m loving the speed on this thing, but it does have its flaws due to bugs I’m sure.

The BlackBerry Torch 9860 is RIM’s full touchscreen device that appears to be larger than any other touchscreen BlackBerry we’ve had yet.  We posted up a few months ago how in landscape mode you see 6 icons across rather than just four, but this has a lot to do with the higher screen resolution provided.  In any case, here’s a few more photos of the device giving you a good front, back, and About screen.  Hit the jump for the gallery.

Right after BlackBerry Bold 9900 parts were spotted online, the BlackBerry Touch 9860 made its availability as well.  Parts found for it are the touchscreen digitizer, menu keypad, and bezel faceplate.  As confirmed before, the buttons for it are all in white as the green and red colors have been dropped completely.  We saw this on the BlackBerry Bold 9900 as well, so it may be a new trend RIM is putting out for their devices now.

This isn’t the first time we run these polls, but as we see more and more of these upcoming devices in leaked images and videos, we gain more knowledge of them and could change our minds as far as what devices we want next.  Today we saw leaked images and videos for the BlackBerry Torch 2 9810 and BlackBerry Curve Apollo.  Both devices are quite appealing, but we still have the Bold 9900 and and Touch 9860 on the way as well.  So cast your votes in the poll, tweet us, or drop us a line in the comments and let us know what device is next for you.

 More devices just got the same OS leak we saw the other day.  The OS is 7.0.0.100, being the first leaked OS build as far as BlackBerry 7 goes.  Here we have it for the Bold 9900, Touch 9860, and Torch 9810.

The devices haven’t released yet, but somehow an OS for each of them has surfaced the web.  We’ve seen it happen in the past before, and I guess hybriders may have fun with this.  Other than that, if you’re fortunate enough to be holding one of these unreleased devices at the moment, you can try the OS out.  We’ve got all three download links available below.

Here we get a pretty up close look at the BlackBerry Touch 9860 bottom half.  As you can seen, the buttons look different than what we had imagined for the device.  In the past we saw the BlackBerry Storm 2 9550 and 9520 get buttons all on the same surface with the touchscreen as SurePress, but it looks like that technology is long dead.  Then there’s the BlackBerry Torch which gets buttons all on the same surface rather than individual buttons which worked out well.  Now it looks like the Touch 9860 gets individual buttons for the call, menu, back, and end call buttons.

Some of you are saying “who cares” but I think it’s convenient.  At the moment I hate having only four icons across on the Torch 9800.  I didn’t really pay much attention to this before, assuming it would be like the Torch, but the BlackBerry Touch 9860 gets six icons across rather than just four when in landscape mode.  In portrait mode, it’s four just as it is on the Torch.  We’re used to having four whichever way you hold your BlackBerry up, but it’s switching up in the Touch 9860.

Lastly is the BlackBerry Touch 9860 which also gets a promo commercial.  We don’t see much of the device here, but there are lots of animations that are trying to push features the BlackBerry has.  So far the Touch 9860 seems very promising with the leaked clips we’ve seen, almost no lag!
