RIM has launched its top-end BlackBerry Torch model in India, the BlackBerry Torch 9860. The BlackBerry Torch 9860 runs on the BlackBerry 7 OS, and features a 3.7-inch capacitive touchscreen, with a resolution of 480×800 pixels, roughly translating to pixel density of 252 ppi. RIM has priced the Torch 9860 at Rs. 28,490 in India – a price that might seem steep, but definitely on the reasonable side compared other top-end BlackBerry offerings.

It features a 1GHz processor along with 768MB of RAM, and so, should not be a slouch. It also comes with an optical trackpad, a 5MP autofocus camera, and 4GB of inbuilt storage.
