As everyone knows, when RIM launched their BlackBerry Torch, it never met the expectations of BlackBerry fans. Now that the sales of Torch are not very promising, RIM is planning a very big speed bump (and some others) for its Torch in order to have a decent fight with all the Android phones and iPhones and WP7 that’s flooding the market.

The upcoming Torch 2 is said to have a new 1.2GHz processor, 14.4Mbps triband HSPA, a VGA display at the original Torch’s same 3.2-inch size, BlackBerry OS 6.1, and — like some of the other leaks we’ve seen — integrated NFC, which suggests the Nexus S may have started something good here. If BGR’s sources are on, you can look for this in the third quarter on AT&T.
