If you're intrigued by RIM's latest smartphone, the BlackBerry Torch, then we've got a treat for you: gory shots of the device's insides!
Announced earlier this week and launching on August 12, the BlackBerry Torch packs BlackBerry 6, a 5 megapixel cam with flash, full QWERTY on a portrait slider, 802.11n, 4GB of storage along with a 4GB microSD card, 512MB of ROM and 512MB RAM, and a 480x360 3.2-inch touchscreen display.
The nice people over at CrackBerry have sacrificed an early BlackBerry Torch unit to the tech gods and given the device the full teardown treatment. Click through to see the full gallery of tear down photos.

Until a year ago, I had no idea my cousin + uncle were still playing Everquest on the P3's I built for them in 2001/2...
But on-topic - What do we know about the Storm3? I have a Storm1 that's still working great, but will very soon under-go the knife and transform into something else
It's the browser and OS that was lacking in previous generations, not the hardware.
The Storm could've been a great device but it was saddled with glitchy firmware and a browser worthy of a WinMob5 phone.
Actually it was Crackberry that did it. And contrary to Jane's statement, they didn't have to sacrifice a Torch for it, which is stated right in the CB article;
"..don't normally happen until the new device is available for commercial purchase and somebody is crazy enough to sacrifice it to the tech gods. In the case of the BlackBerry Torch 9800, however, we've already got the goods and nobody had to risk their phone."
They also mention: "With all the attention given to attenuation these days you may be curious to see what the Torch's design looks like (hint: it's like a bumper that attaches to the board).."
