BlackBerry Torch 9800 Review
At Rs. 35,000, the Torch 9800 is quite expensive. It has a touchscreen and a full keypad and a host of other goodies that make it a very feature rich offering. However, some issues with build quality and the astronomical price make us hesitate before recommending it.
Pros:
- Good QWERTY and onscreen keypad
- Very good voice clarity and network performance
- Feature loaded
Cons:
- Expensive
- not exactly value for money
- Shoddy build is noticeable in some places
- Heavy

Pros:
- BlackBerry 6 is and improvement
- easy to navigate
- keyboard works well enough
- full keyboard and touchscreen
- browser
Cons:
- Occasional freezes and pauses

BlackBerry Torch 9800
The BlackBerry Torch is undeniably the best BlackBerry yet. RIM has managed to keep it familiar, yet fresh, to paraphrase their CEO. That should be good enough to hold onto existing BlackBerry users (and there are a lot of you), but we doubt they'll steal many iPhone and Android customers.
Pros:
- Capactivite touch screen
- great hardware QWERTY keyboard
- OS 6.0
Cons:
- In the specs war
- the Torch isn't at the top
