BlackBerry Torch: Hands-on with "The Best BlackBerry Ever" [VIDEO]

The new BlackBerry Torch hit stores yesterday, and as we’ve previously noted, it’s an immensely important launch for RIM. It marks the first device to ship with version 6 of BlackBerry’s OS, and it looks to bring the company’s smartphone line back up to par with iPhone and Android (the latter of which recently passed BlackBerry in market share).

We decided to go hands-on with the device to see how it stacks up to the competition. In the above video, Mashable’s Mobile reporter Christina Warren takes us of a tour of the new features of BlackBerry 6 (which will also be available on the new Curve 3G), and renders a verdict about a device dubbed “the best BlackBerry ever” by exclusive U.S. carrier partner AT&T.
