Touch screen Blackberry phones have made a significant impact on the market with their sleek designs and innovative features.
One of the most notable features of Blackberry touch screen phones is their high-resolution displays, which provide crisp and clear visuals.
The Blackberry Torch 9800, released in 2010, was one of the first Blackberry phones to feature a touch screen.
Blackberry's operating system, BB OS, was designed to be user-friendly and efficient, making it easy to navigate through menus and apps.

Blackberry has a history of producing innovative touch screen phones. The BlackBerry STORM, released in 2008, was the first touchscreen Blackberry, featuring a 3.25" Touch and Feel Screen.
The STORM also came with a range of impressive features, including a full HTML browser, VZ Navigator capable GPS, and Microsoft Office Mobile for viewing and editing Word, Excel, and PowerPoint files on the go.
Here are some key features of the BlackBerry STORM:
- 3.25" Touch and Feel Screen

In more recent times, the BlackBerry 'Motion' was leaked, featuring a 1920x1080 display, 4GB of RAM, and a 4000 mAh battery.
Call Quality and Battery Life
The Blackberry Storm offers crystal clear calls, thanks to its earpiece that's very loud and easy to hear on. I found that callers reported I sounded very good as well.
The Storm is a great choice for making international calls, as it features GSM capability with fast HSPA data access. This means you can use it on GSM networks abroad, but you'll need an international calling and data plan.
Battery life on the Storm is impressive, with moderate data use and voice calling allowing for up to 2.5 days of use before needing a recharge. Anything over 1 day of battery life is good, especially for a media-rich 3G smartphone.
The Storm's storage is a plus, with 8GB included and the option to expand via a microSD slot.

Blackberry Phone News
RIM has announced a trio of touchscreen BlackBerry smartphones, including the Bold 9900 and Torch 9810/9850/9860 devices. These devices all feature touchscreens and are part of the BB OS 7 lineup.
The Bold 9900 Series is the thinnest BlackBerry smartphone ever, and the first to combine a QWERTY keyboard with a touch display. It also includes built-in support for NFC.
The BlackBerry Torch 9810 is a faster and more fluid device, with a 3.2 inch high resolution touch display and a distinctive slide-out keyboard.
The new all-touch BlackBerry Torch 9850 and 9860 features a 3.7 inch display, the largest ever on a BlackBerry smartphone.
Here are the key features of the new devices:
- BlackBerry Bold 9900 Series: 3.1mm thin, QWERTY keyboard, touch display, NFC support
- BlackBerry Torch 9810: 3.2 inch high resolution touch display, slide-out keyboard
- BlackBerry Torch 9850 and 9860: 3.7 inch display, all-touch design
These devices will be hitting the market at the end of August, with over 225 carriers signed up to offer them.
Blackberry Phone Leaks
The BlackBerry 'Motion' phone has leaked, and it's an all-touchscreen device. This is a departure from BlackBerry's usual tactile keyboard.
The phone's design is similar to other modern smartphones, with a touchscreen interface. BlackBerry's decision to ditch the keyboard might be a good thing, given the recent issues with phone explosions.
François Mahieu, TCL's global head of sales, confirmed that the device would launch this month. He also mentioned that it would likely be certified water-resistant.
The phone's specs are rumored to include a 1920x1080 display, 4GB of RAM, a 4000 mAh battery, and a Snapdragon 625 or 626 processor. These specs make it sound like a fairly ordinary Android phone.
The phone will likely have a home button with a fingerprint scanner, which Evan Blass' photo seems to confirm. This is a common feature in many modern smartphones.
