REVIEW: BlackBerry Torch 9800 smartphone

I am a hardcore blackberry user, I have had blackberries since the bold 9000 which was a Cadillac! I purchased the white torch before releasing in UK so I was ecstatic. This blackberry was the biggest disappointment. Problems - Weak battery life. - Very heavy - bulky for no reason.
