BlackBerry Torch 9860
The BlackBerry Torch 9860 is a 3.7-inch touchscreen smartphone, sweeping aside the Storm name to give RIM another crack at a keyboardless device. It arrives with BlackBerry OS7, the same as the BlackBerry Bold 9900 which we reviewed recently, but offering a large screen BlackBerry experience.
Pros:
- Good screen
- good camera and mostly good design
Cons:
- Software freezes and a lack of app compatibility takes the shine off this handset

BlackBerry Torch 9860
The slender design of the Blackberry Torch 9860 makes it a great fit for anyone who wants a phone that is big enough to hold firmly in the hand but doesn't feel bulky. The full, sharp screen is also a great feature. However, the keypad tends to be a turn-off for texting buffs.

RIM's first forays into the full touchscreen world were more of a damp shower than the unaptly-named Storm and Storm 2 phones would have you believe. But that's all set to change with the release of the BlackBerry Torch 9860.
Pros:
- NULL

BlackBerry Torch 9860 review
BlackBerry's biggest touchscreen handset is one of its best, and it's working hard to catch up with the competition. The BlackBerry faithful will appreciate the effort here, but whether it's enough to win over fans of Android or Apple is another matter.
Pros:
- Sharp 3.7-inch touchscreen
- fast processor
- 5MP camera with 720p HD video recording
Cons:
- Lack of apps in BlackBerry App World
- Android can offer similar features for less cost
- awkward hard buttons

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.

BlackBerry Torch 9860
If you used either BlackBerry Storm, we suggest that you wipe your memory before clapping eyes on the Torch 9860, as it is a completely different beast. RIM mixes a number of successful concepts into this handset to give its CrackBerry fanbase a touchscreen worthy of a table in a bar or a boardroom.
Pros:
- Sleek
- unique design
- Excellent touchscreen display
- BlackBerry 7 OS is fast
- easy to use
- Good web browser
Cons:
- No HDMI port
- No wireless media streaming
- App World won't satisfy gamers
- High latency with BIS data traffic

BlackBerry Torch 9860
Design With no keyboard at all, you might be forgiven for not recognising the Torch 9860 as a RIM device - at least at first glance. However, beneath the screen are four familiar buttons: Call, End (the latter doubling as the on/off switch), Back and the distinctive BlackBerry menu button inside.
Pros:
- Solidly made
- Good touchscreen
- Responsive on-screen keyboard
Cons:
- No Flash support
- Side buttons are tricky to use
- Some hardware design features are achieved at the expense of ergonomics

RIM BlackBerry Torch 9860 smartphone
RIM's efforts to create a purely touchscreen device haven't exactly been the most successful departure for the BlackBerry maker.
