New BlackBerry Bold Touch hands-on photos

 

Here is some more phone news to get your mind off the BlackBerry PlayBook for a bit. Adding to the upcoming line of new BlackBerry smartphones is the BlackBerry Bold Touch. Last week we saw the BlackBerry monaco up close and personal, so now we get a chance to see more of another device we can't wait to try out for ourselves. The Bold Touch looks good - It's sporting OS 6.1 with both a touch screen and full QWERTY keyboard. It has yet another new battery and Mobile Hotspot Mode among other things, and hopefully will be on the list of device announcements (that should include the new Curves, BlackBerry Torch 2 and BlackBerry Touch) at BlackBerry World next month. More photos below.
