BlackBerry Torch 9810 lands at Virgin Media

The BlackBerry Torch 9810 is now available at Virgin Media, the UK network has today confirmed.

You can grab a free Torch 9810 from Virgin from £30.99 per month, just slightly more expensive than Three’s £30 tariff. This 24-month-long contract also bags you 300 minutes, 2500 texts and 500MB of mobile data, and Virgin promises to chuck-in unlimited email and BlackBerry Messenger access, too.

Alternatively, you can opt for one of Virgin Media’s 12 month tariffs, although you’ll have to fork out a hefty £349.99 to get your hands on the phone.

If the handset’s specs are anything to go by, the Torch 9810 will no-doubt follow in the footsteps of its best-selling brother: the BlackBerry Torch 9800. RIM’s latest QWERTY-slider touts a higher-resolution 3.2-inch touchscreen, paired with a faster 1.2GHz single-core processor and BlackBerry OS 7.

As well as its handy slide-out QWERTY keys, you’ll also find a 5 megapixel camera with 720p HD video, integrated GPS, HSDPA and WiFi connectivity, and up to 32GB of expandable memory.
