Living the Olympic creed
The BlackBerry Torch is not the first phone to give you both a full hardware QWERTY keyboard and an ample touchscreen in a smartphone setting. But it's a debut for BlackBerry and one that will probably shape the future for the next generation of RIM phones.

- Responsive screen
- New operating system
- Full QWERTY keyboard
Cons:
- Low resolution screen

REVIEW: BlackBerry Torch 9800 smartphone
When I read that the AT&T version of the BlackBerry Torch 9800 was getting less than favorable reviews, I wasn't all that surprised. RIM has come up short in several areas, but it manages to survive because of its increased security and close corporate contacts.

Torch will keep BlackBerry fans happy and satisfied despite a few flaws. When Research In Motion (RIM) launched its first touchscreen phone, Storm, it was not appreciated much by BlackBerry fans. Storm didn't feel like a BlackBerry phone due to its touchscreen.
Pros:
- Display
- Capacitive touch screen
- Voice clarity
- Excellent battery life
- Comfortable QWERTY keypad
Cons:
- Ageing processor
- 4GB on board memory
