RIM Blackberry Torch 9800 review
The BlackBerry Torch 9800 is probably the best BlackBerry yet and the new OS 6 is one of the major reasons why. Couple this with a hugely responsive touchscreen, comfortable hardware keyboard and all the BlackBerry services you've come to expect and you've got a stunning smartphone.

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.

BlackBerry Torch review
The Torch is RIM's first touch-screen/slide-out keypad device, and is a marked improvement on its previous touch-screen efforts. Many BlackBerry fans will love the Torch for its mobile browsing and social networking improvements, but it is unlikely to convert fans of touch-screen pioneers like Apple...

- integrated social and messaging feeds
- swipe functionality
- enhanced security for business users
Cons:
- Bit weighty and bulky compared to similar devices
- low resolution screen
- inferior apps store

- Full QWERTY keyboard
Cons:
- Low resolution screen
