Blackberry Bold Touch gets hands-on treatment

RIM is really having a hard time keeping their upcoming phones under wraps. Now BlackBerry Bold Touch has got the hands-on treatment, thanks to BGR. Bold Touch was leaked couple of months back and is said to give best of both worlds with an integrated physical QWERTY keyboard and a touchscreen display.

The site says renders don’t do justice as the phone “looks better in person” and has a good solid build quality. Other things found in this hands-on are the responsive touchscreen with the ubiquitous BlackBerry keyboard and a new battery that won’t impact the battery life while using the touchscreen interface.

The phone is expected to go official at BlackBerry World in May with a global release slated for June-July.
