BlackBerry Torch 9800 Review by Aaron
The Torch is a decent device that should keep existing BlackBerry users happy, but during my entire review, I couldn't help but notice how underpowered it is in comparison to its competitors. The Torch 9800 is marketed in the same high-end bracket as the EVO 4G, iPhone 4, DROID Incredible , and
Pros:
- Solid build quality
Cons:
- Underpowered processor

BlackBerry Torch Review
The Blackberry Torch has been launched recently with relatively little fanfare, but signs point to the fact that it has taken the position of "best blackberry ever" from the Bold 9700. The Torch is now available on AT&T's network and other carriers will undoubtedly follow.

BlackBerry Torch 9800
The concept of a touchscreen device along with a slide out keyboard is hardly new, but it is one that Research In Motion has embraced finally. The BlackBerry Torch 9800 combines the best of both worlds.

BlackBerry 9800 Torch
A great alternative to Android and iOS4, BlackBerry OS6 will suffer from the stigma associated with BlackBerry phones – corporate grade solutions for the guys wearing ties.

Living the Olympic creed
The BlackBerry Torch is not the first phone to give you both a full hardware QWERTY keyboard and an ample touchscreen in a smartphone setting. But it's a debut for BlackBerry and one that will probably shape the future for the next generation of RIM phones.

Review: BlackBerry Torch 9800
It's no secret Research in Motion is slowly losing ground to Apple's iPhone. While BlackBerry used to be the smartphone of choice for many business men and women, Apple is starting to scoop up many long-time users.
Pros:
- Nice design
- Responsive screen
- New operating system
- Full QWERTY keyboard
Cons:
- Low resolution screen
