BlackBerry Torch review

It's tough to feel really excited about the BlackBerry Torch and OS 6 after heavy testing. We had high hopes coming into this review that the new operating system would be more than a fresh coat of paint on an aging user experience -- that we were going to see substantial changes in the attitude and...
Pros:
  • Portrait slider is a great form factor
  • Big improvements in native web browser
  • OS is far more polished than last version
Cons:
  • Hardware design feels dated
  • OS improvements are mostly skin deep
  • Low resolution display

Very good phone for calls, email and organising

As you would expect from a Blackberry it works very well with any email accounts, all are very easy to set up and work straight away. The touch screen is capacative supporting multi touch and works well, much better than the Storm and the pull out qwerty key pad is almost as good as on the Bold.

this could be a good phone if all you wanted it for is texting or whatsapp, the camera is good too. but choose an iphone if you want to do anything more, my friends have iphones and i always feel left out because my bb9800 cannot get the apps the way they can, will not be buying a blackberry again.
Pros:
  • keypad and the fact that when putting it in its case it shuts screen down
Cons:
  • cant get apps the way friends on their iphones can
  • cant download adobe flashplayer to watch things i want to download
  • when using the phone myself and the caller talk over each other because there is a time delay which is super annoying and i dont know how to fix it

If you are a BlackBerry fan then you can certainly go for the BlackBerry Torch. It is truly a good phone to have but it has its own problems. The worst thing about the BlackBerry Torch is the fact that it doesn't come any cheaper than some of the top notch smartphones however, it doesn't pack in the...

Will hold me out until QNX phones

Actually considered this phone an upgrade from my 9900 Bold. I was having issues with that phone - touch screen responsiveness, hanging constantly, connectivity issues. On top of it all I found that OS7 devices were far behind in quality compared to OS6 phones.
Pros:
  • Great build quality Autofocus Camera Scratch resistant glass screen Purchased apps from my 9300 work on this device (that don't work on OS7
Cons:
  • Well, price, for a last gen blackberry is a bit high
  • I could have gotten one used for $200 or less but that's just gross..
