- Refreshed operating system
- Great connectivity
- Useful email handling
Cons:

- Touchscreen isn't responsive
- Comparatively low-res screen
- Complicated to use

BlackBerry Torch review
We've overhauled our BlackBerry Torch review in light of recent firmware upgrades and a big drop in price - from ￡40 to ￡30 a month in some cases, and nearly ￡100 off the SIM free price.

BlackBerry Torch 9800 review
There is a lot to like about the Torch. The OS is easier to use then previous versions, and the combination of touchscreen and keyboard works well. However, the media playback is too erratic, the camera is too average, it feels slow when browsing and the display resolution is simply inexcusable for...
Pros:
- Improved BlackBerry 6.0 OS
- touchscreen and slide out keyboard combination works well

Not what I expected
I've had this phone since Oct 2010. I was gullible enough to sign up for this phone back in Optus and am now suffering with a pricey $79 per month plan. I have to say the build quality is not up to my expectations.

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..
