Blackberry Torch 9800 review
Great messaging and media, but the retro screen and lack of apps mean it lags behind the smartphone big boys

Editor's Review of the Torch 9800
The BlackBerry Torch is RIM's most innovative smartphone yet, coupling a 3.2-inch high res touchscreen with a slide out QWERTY keypad

BlackBerry Torch review
The Torch is RIM's first touch-screen/slide-out keypad device, and is a marked improvement on its previous touch-screen efforts. Many BlackBerry fans will love the Torch for its mobile browsing and social networking improvements, but it is unlikely to convert fans of touch-screen pioneers like Apple...
Pros:
- Touch screen plus keypad combination
- integrated social and messaging feeds
- swipe functionality
- enhanced security for business users
Cons:
- Bit weighty and bulky compared to similar devices
- low resolution screen
- inferior apps store

RIM has taken a step forward with its new Blackberry Torch. Its screen, hardware and software offerings pale in comparison to the Apple iPhone, HTC Desire, or Samsung Galaxy S, but those who own and use a Blackberry will definitely love this new handset for its new operating system and dual input...
Pros:
- : Build
- Responsive touchscreen and slide out QWERTY
- Great new interface
- Email, social networking, and messaging capabilities
- Universal search and great customisation
- Organised menus
- Clean browser with pinch and zoom functions
- Great multimedia interface
- Wi-fi, Bluetooth and GPS onboard
- Great
Cons:
- : There were times when we didn't know whether to use the touchscreen or the physical keys
- Processor a bit slow and causes slowdowns
- Webpage rendering also a bit slow
- Screen resolution

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

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.

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.

A good interactive touchscreen phone. I upgraded from the Blackberry Bold to the Torch. Love the touch screen and improved camera, but personally prefer the Bold format, and not so keen on the slide format of the Torch.

BlackBerry Torch 9800 in-depth review -
RIM has one of the most loyal fan bases of all the major manufacturers. With most BlackBerry users you'll have more chance of getting them to pull out their own teeth than swapping to something different.
Pros:
- The five-megapixel camera is the best snapper to appear on a blackberry device
- with the flash in particular impressing
Cons:
- The BlackBerry Torch is a heavy device and we weren?t enamoured with the overall design

Good Phone
Good phone. Connects good to my email accounts and syncs fine with computers. Works great with documents to go. Worked good with Treadit pedeometer apt for a while but now can't get it to register. Desk top software is incredibly slow.
Pros:
- A lot of great features including keyboard
Cons:
- Online support is bad
