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
