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...

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.

Blackberry Torch review

Weighing 161g, it feels substantial (compared to 135g for the Desire and 137g for the iPhone 4) the sliding keyboard making it a chunky 15mm deep. One side includes a 3.5mm jack, volume controls and the camera button, the other micro SD, while lock and mute buttons are positioned on the top.

BlackBerry Torch 9800 Review: In Depth

The phone market is changing quickly and unsurpsingly the Torch 600Mhz processor feels slow next to the dual-core LG Optimus 2X and the 1Ghz Sony Ericsson Xperia Arc. Although we should point out that for browsing, typing and emailing – which are the main reasons people buy a Blackberry - it is...

RIM BlackBerry Torch 9800 (preview)

The BlackBerry Torch 9800 might be the best BlackBerry ever, but we think at its core it is generally the same as most other BlackBerrys. It possesses an excellent keyboard and great e-mail capabilities, but boasts nothing really new or innovative. The Torch offers little incentive to switch from the iPhone or an Android smartphone, but BlackBerry users will probably find it a compelling upgrade. When you have a product that has been successful for several years, but has fallen somewhat behind the times, it can be difficult to figure out what to change and what to leave alone.
Pros:
  • Good keyboard, excellent e-mail, responsive touchscreen, decent build quality, revamped OS, universal search, improved Web browser
Cons:
  • Physical design could use an overhaul, large and top-heavy, lack of customisation of app "drawers", UI lacks consistency, lower resolution display than competitors
