Last week Boy Genius Reporting (BGR) got hold of what looks to be the next BlackBerry Storm, although the tech site states that this full touch-screen smartphone might be dubbed the BlackBerry Touch when it is officially launched.
 
This week it is N4BB.com’s turn to leak some further details about the device. It posted a few leaked video tutorials (two posted below) of the forthcoming BlackBerry Touch and BlackBerry Bold Touch
 
You better watch them quick before they’re removed, as N4BB’s BlackBerry Touch video already has been (new one posted by CrackBerry). These demonstrate, amongst others, how the touch and type interface of the Bold Touch works.    
 
According to BGR the BlackBerry Touch is thinner and faster than previous touch-screen phones such as the BlackBerry Torch 9800 from BlackBerry holding company Research In Motion (RIM).
 
It also states that the new device will operate on BlackBerry OS 6.1, which it says looks very similar to OS 6 that powers devices like the BlackBerry Bold 9780. It does sport new functionality though such as BlackBerry ID. This is apparently substituting the current PIN and may be employed to gain access to RIM’s cloud-based services.
