The Torch 9860 will be available for $0 upfront on the $49 Optus Cap or $49 Business Cap plans over 24 months.

Highlights of the Torch 9860 include full touch screen operation (3.7in) and GPS navigation. The Bold 9900 is a more traditional BlackBerry design with a QWERTY keyboard as well as 2.8in touch screen.
