The BlackBerry Torch 9800 is ideal if social networking and fast internet are important to you

We wish the battery life were stronger on this multimedia cell phone, but with the features provided, the BlackBerry Torch 9800 turns business into entertainment. Even though this device doesn’t feature the strongest multimedia features, this is a good effort to turn a business-oriented device into... More

Beyond the software, the Torch 9800 itself isn't a home run

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 BlackBerry OS 6 has much of a fighting chance.

There's still a number of areas that put the Torch 9800 behind some of the competition running other, more modern operating systems

The BlackBerry Torch 9800 offers a few firsts for RIM and AT&T. The Torch is RIM's first attempt at a BlackBerry that sports both a full QWERTY keyboard and a touchscreen. It's also the first commercially available BlackBerry that runs the new Blackberry 6 operating system, which offers a host... More

The Torch 9800 is a worthy device to continue RIM's legacy as it easily maintains all the aspects about BlackBerry with a dash of some new features

First things first, traditional BlackBerry users will find the Torch 9800 as a worthy device to continue RIM's legacy as it easily maintains all the aspects about BlackBerry with a dash of some new features. RIM's attempt in attracting new users might prove difficult despite boasting a prized form... More

While the BlackBerry Torch isn’t a complete screw-up, it’s far from the Apple-killing, Android-slaying device RIM thought it would be

In a world where things are supposed to get simpler and easier to use, the BlackBerry Torch 9800 unfortunately complicates things. Is it the “best BlackBerry yet”? It’s certainly possible. Though it’s most definitely not the easiest to use, and even RIM’s best product at... More

I originally purchased the Nexus S due to the excellent reviews, spend 10 days trying to keep it connected to Wifi or 3g, and was blown away in a webpage loading test with my friends BB Curve. I replaced it with the BB Torch and haven't looked back. Maybe it doesn't have all the bells and whistles... More

I hate this device.

I'm an experienced computer user. However, this darn Blackberry Torch did not come with any type of manual except with some very fine print that I couldn't read with a magnifer. One would think that the software that came with it would at least have the manual. As a man with full sized fingers,... More

After experiencing HTC Diamond Windows based, and Android Motorola Droid and Desire Z, I have to say I should have switched to Blackberry Torch 9800 earlier.
Well constructed, solid platform coupled with excellent call clarity makes it the best smartphone I have ever dealt with. My only complaint is... More
