    Summary: Welcome improvements from Blackberry 6 OS, but it feels like RIM is just catching up

    Summary: The Torch best Blackberry to date, which is great for emailing and texting. However the interface lacks the flexibility of rivals.

    Conclusion: The phone market is changing quickly and unsurpsingly the Torch 600Mhz processor feels slow next to the dual-core LG Optimus 2X and the 1Ghz Sony Ericsson Xperia Arc. Although we should point out that for browsing, typing and emailing – which are the...

    Summary: It's been a while since we last tackled a Blackberry, and a fresh one just hit in the form of the Blackberry Torch 9800. And like a lot of Blackberry models, it will have plenty of utility, but not without some significant problems.

    Conclusion: The Blackberry Torch 9800 is a PDA-style smartphone with 3G, wi-fi, and Bluetooth connectivity, touch screen controls, four gigs of onboard memory with support for microSD cards up to an additional thirty six gigs, a five megapixel camera that shoots...

    Pro : Plenty of features ; Room to download

    Cons : Low-resolution display ; The trackball

    Summary: The Blackberry Torch 9800 is a sliding smartphone, with a large touchscreen display, and a QWERTY keypad that slides out from underneath. Unlike most other sliding QWERTY handsets, the Blackberry Torch is intended entirely for portrait use, so you can...

    Conclusion: If you're a Blackberry fan, and want a touchscreen smartphone, the Blackberry Torch 9800 won't disappoint. It's not quite as slick as some of its touchscreen rivals, but it's every bit as good in terms of build quality, and the QWERTY keyboard is a joy...

    Pro : As with other Blackberry devices, the Blackberry Torch 9800 is beautifully made. The faux leather rear case gives a tactile feel, and chrome highlights add a touch of style and quality. The sliding mechanism works well, and the Torch 9800 feels great...

    Cons : The Blackberry Torch 9800 is a big phone, and thicker and heavier than most of its rivals. Granted, devices like the Apple iPhone 4 don't have a beautiful keyboard for emailing, but if you're after a pocket-friendly device this probably isn't the...
