It’s common for media to lambaste RIM and its smartphones and tablet. The company does deserve some of the criticism it receives, but what’s strange is that it doesn’t receive any credit where it’s due. Here are 5 areas where we believe RIM should get more recognition.

After I first heard that RIM was making another attempt at a full touchscreen device I got excited but then remembered that Blackberry fans felt let down with the launch with the storm, then the storm 2. Those devices definitely left a sour taste in my mouth when it comes to RIM making a full touchscreen device. However, I believe the success of the Torch 9800 played a big part in the making of the Torch 9850/9860. RIM saw that there was a market for touch screen BlackBerrys and decided to go ahead with the full touchscreen Torch. I would say that the most impressive features of this device are Liquid Graphics and the powerful 1.2GHz processor. Read on to get the full scoop on RIM’s first successful full touch screen device.

The BlackBerry Bold Touch 9790 is the latest touch/QWERTY device and it’s a “sister” device to the Bold Touch 9900. The 9790 is destined for the APAC (Asia Pacific) region and it’s smaller and comes at a lower price point. In terms of a product line, it complements the Curve 9380 and gives more options for BlackBerry users in Asia. We spent just a little time with the device and have put together some impressions. Stay tuned for an actual review.

Recently, RIM invited some media to check out the BlackBerry Curve 9380; the device we call the Curve Touch.

The device is targeting APAC (Asia Pacific), which explains the size and price point. The following is not a review of the device, merely just a few things I noticed while playing with the device for a brief period.

It’s hard to be excited about BlackBerry 7 when you know there’s an entirely new and awesome OS around the corner, albeit a very wide-angled corner. We know that the first BBX device to launch will be a touchscreen and it we can expect the software to be just like the PlayBook in terms of design and features. But there’s still some unanswered questions and concerns.

We received an interesting letter from an app development shop that sells their apps through Mobihand. Mobile Stream is apparently owed a total of $163,976 from Mobihand, and it looks like the 3rd party app store is keeping mum about whether they plan to pay any of the money owed to the developer. Read more after the jump.
