BlackBerry - Press Release
No upgrade available for any existing devices to new OS7 though, even those running OS6.

New Bold and surprisingly, the Torch 9860 slate look tasty
Can't say I'm excited about the Torch 2, it looks like a very slightly updated version of the original which had far too tiny keys to be usable as a BB and was stupidly heavy for a slider.
If the 9860 can nail the user experience with a decent virtual keyboard (the Torch one was awful), I'd even be tempted to get a touchscreen only BB
As an aside, the one thing that I love about all BB's is the optical pad. More phones should have these for those of us who like to occasionally use touchsreen but prefer a virtual mouse.
Just a quick look on Play, and I can buy a Nexus S for £300 or a Torch 9800 for £422. I think they both came out about the same time.
The Nexus S is around 18 months old and has been superseded a dozen times. The Torch 9800 will be over two years old when replaced.
still happy with my torch 9800 - not sure about upgrading to a touch-screen only BB handset - the qwerty pad is what attracted me to start with. are there any reasons to upgrade to a new torch handset (other than OS7)?
I got the 9900 on Thursday, it's impressive and ticks all the boxes expected of a blackberry, the web browser is significantly improved as well, no complaints so far.
