First class design, excellent keyboard, good call quality, solid camera, new operating system
Only a day of battery life, bulky, stale application selection, sluggish web browser
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 BlackBe...
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...
Multiple home screens and notification panel, Elegant design with physical keyboard, Sharp and fast 5-MP camera, Much improved web browser with tabs, Time-saving Social Feed app
Sluggish at times, Low-resolution display, Doesn't support 720p video, Slower web surfing than iPhone 4
With its revamped interface and improved web browser, the Torch is a mostly satisfying smart phone for work and play.
Issues with rendering some web pages, Still outdated looking interface
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 migh...
A smart fusion of utilitarian form and BlackBerry function. Rubberized battery door and volume rockers ensure a solid grip. Great clarity and call quality. Features du jour are in attendance: GPS, WiFi and Bluetooth. Sports an impressive set of EQ options
Not quite on the same level as an iPhone or Droid X. Ships with a paltry 4GB memory card. 5MP camera is behind the pack with washed out photos and 640 x 480 video. Not really a chatterbox at just over five hours of talk time. Nextgen face with a lastgen t

For business users who want something lightweight and practical, but with the multimedia and apps featured in the newest generation of mobile devices, the BlackBerry Torch 9800 could be their next smartphone. The emphasis here is on access to informat...
It's tough to feel really excited about the BlackBerry Torch and OS 6 after heavy testing. We had high hopes coming into this review that the new operating system would be more than a fresh coat of paint on an aging user experience -- that we were going t...

Abstract: If you don't already own a BlackBerry, you will not want this phone. And if you do, you still might not want it, even if it may very well be the "best BlackBerry ever."The most exceedingly common observation about the Torch is that it's very much still a...
