Excellent keyboard/touchscreen design, BlackBerry 6 OS adds much-needed features
Performance can be sluggish, Display has lower resolution than rival phones
The Torch smartphone successfully delivers a design that is both innovative and familiar to BlackBerry users, but its performance and features aren’t quite up to par. ...
The Torch is a decent device that should keep existing BlackBerry users happy, but during my entire review, I couldn't help but notice how underpowered it is in comparison to its competitors. The Torch 9800 is marketed in the same high-end bracket a...

Abstract: We’ve been waiting for the BlackBerry Torch 9800 for months now. RIM’s double-whammy of new touch-and-QWERTY hardware and the latest iteration of their software, the much-anticipated BlackBerry 6, the Torch promises usability, functionality and all-rou...
As with any BlackBerry, e-mail is at the core of the Torch 9800's functionality. But instead of a corporate buzz cut, the Torch is more like a mullet: business in front, party in the back. That's not a bad thing. It allows for excellent enterprise fun...
The BlackBerry 9800 Torch with BlackBerry OS 6 and the new WebKit browser on board together make for the best BlackBerry yet. BlackBerry OS 6, in particular, pushes the Blackberry platform back into the fray with Apple and Google. But I'm not sure Bla...
First class design, excellent keyboard, good call quality, solid camera, new operating system

Abstract: Follow AskMen on Twitter.Despite maintaining its position as the No. 2 global smartphone provider, over the last few years RIM has taken plenty of heat for its failure to produce innovative handsets in the face of ever-increasing competition from Andro...
We actually liked the BlackBerry Torch more towards the end of our use than we did at first. Once you get into using the device, you slightly warm up to it. With that said, I can’t help but think that the Torch goes against everything that a BlackBerr...
Solid construction. Staple Blackberry features like keyboard, email, call quality, and battery life are still intact. Found the option of having a tangible keyboard and onscreen one extremely useful as well as sanity pleasing. OS 6 is intuitive to use with its new Homescreen design, universal inbox, and universal search, as well as its social media enhancements. WiFi Music Sync will even impress
Poor camera and video quality. Display (sigh) is old school. Device tends to lag at times when processing websites or switching in between tasks.
I have been pretty much a BlackBerry lifer for awhile now. Try as I might to deviate from it – I always end up back where I started from. The battery lasts longer than any other smartphone, the keyboard while on some models left me frustrated, have bas...
