Blackberry Torch 9860
This is not the first attempt by BlackBerry to produce a full touchscreen phone as they had a similar idea with the earlier Storm models. The Torch 9860 is a far superior effort in the touchscreen arena than the Storm series however and benefits from all of the excellent web browsing, multimedia and...

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 review
It's taken a ridiculously long time to come, but this is it. This is the one. After the clickable screen of the BlackBerry Storm 2 and the touchscreen-with-slide-out-keyboard shenanigans of the original BlackBerry Torch , RIM has finally released a proper touchscreen smartphone.

The left side of the device has the micro USB connector while the top has a lock switch which is hard enough to not accidentally unlock the device. On the right side you have a 3.5mm audio jack, volume rockers with a mute switch in the middle and a convenience key towards the bottom.

BlackBerry Torch 9860
The BlackBerry Torch 9860 is a BlackBerry, but it doesn't have a physical keyboard. It's a BlackBerry for the iPhone and Android generation, but we think the BlackBerry faithful will prefer the real thing .
Pros:
- Well built
- great screen
- Excellent Web browsing and interface
Cons:
- Touchscreen typing is imperfect
- Hidden volume buttons
