NEW YORK — Research in Motion on Wednesday unveiled five new BlackBerry phones with touch screens, as it hopes to revive the line’s dwindling appeal in the face of competition from iPhone and Android smartphones.
The new phones had been expected earlier this year but were delayed.
RIM, based in Waterloo, Ontario, is updating its high-end Bold models to include touch screens. It’s also launching two Torch models with big screens but no physical keyboards, mimicking the basic design of the iPhone.
The phones run a new version of the BlackBerry operating system, which RIM says is much faster for Web browsing.
