BlackBerry Torch 9860
Research In Motion (RIM) has taken a baby-steps approach to entering the touchscreen smartphone market, with its first two attempts, the Storm and Storm 2, sporting clickable displays followed up by the Torch 9800 and 9810 with slideout keyboards.

- Smart design
- Good display and hardware features
- Surprisingly nippy despite single core processor

- Interface still a bit stark
- Keyboard not as good as competition
- App store still not well stocked

BlackBerry Torch 9860 review: BlackBerry Torch 9860
With a large, responsive touchscreen and a powerful processor, the BlackBerry Torch 9860 looks like a great bit of hardware. We do have reservations about the software, though. The BlackBerry Torch 9860 is a touchscreen-only handset, from a manufacturer famous for making smart phones with Qwerty keyboards. Can it possibly be any cop?
Pros:
- 3.7-inch touchscreen
- 1.2GHz processor
- 720p video recording.
Cons:
- BlackBerry 7 OS could struggle to compete with Android and iOS.

- Great sound quality
- Capable video player
Cons:
- Expensive
- OS needs polishing
- Limited number of apps
- Display prone to scratches
- BlackBerry Internet Service required
- Limited operator availability

BlackBerry Torch 9860 Review
RIM did make heavy weather of the task of mastering the touchscreen experience. For a completely touch based phone, that is. With the Storm 2 being the prime example of how things went wrong. But from what I have experienced with the Torch 9860, RIM has finally worked it out. Sleeeeek!
Pros:
- Sleek form factor with classy build quality
- Very good display
- Touch response is quite sure
- Power package ensures OS 7 is smooth
Cons:
- Keypad doesn't really work in portrait mode
- Web browser has some bugs

RIM's efforts to create a purely touchscreen device haven't exactly been the most successful departure for the BlackBerry maker.

Torching the Storm
The new BlackBerry Torch 9850/9860 ($TBA) won't cause Android and iPhone users to defect in droves. The new handset is a welcomed improvement, though, for RIM loyalists in search of an upgrade from the aging Storm I and II.

Lacks in UI
My friend has this mobile. I used it. I feel it lacks in interface than Android, Symbian and iOS. Its not user friendly comparing to other touch and type BB phones.
