- Display
- Capacitive touch screen
- Voice clarity
- Excellent battery life
- Comfortable QWERTY keypad
Cons:
- Ageing processor
- 4GB on board memory

Cons:
- Poor camera and video quality

BlackBerry Torch
I t has been some time since we have reviewed a BlackBerry smartphone, and since then a lot has changed. The enormous advance of BlackBerry on the consumer market and a few attractive new cell phones have done the brand good.

RIM BlackBerry Torch 9800 review
The keyboard may be smaller than other BlackBerrys', but the Torch's great screen and updated OS make it the best BlackBerry yet.

The road to touch screen perfection has been a long one for RIM. With two lackluster products such as the Storm and Storm2 in its lineup, it was a grim moment for its touch screen offerings. Learning some lessons from its earlier mishaps, the BlackBerry Torch is definitely a turning point.
Pros:
- Vast improvement over earlier BlackBerry Storm and Storm2
- Best of both worlds with touch screen and QWERTY keyboard
- Intuitive BlackBerry 6 OS
Cons:
- Lagging behind in hardware specifications
- Average battery life despite more manageable processor
- Imaging quality appears overly warm

Pretty Phone and Pretty Good Phone
This is my first blackberry after coming off the G1 from TMobile and I love it. The phone is physically prettier than either the G1 or the G2. The touchscreen is responsive, but not overly so. The touchpad is also better than the trackball on the G1.
Pros:
- Attractive Design
- Great Battery Life
- QWERTY Keypad
Cons:
- Small Buttons

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
