Launched in August this year, BlackBerry Torch has been a smartphone that is trying to find a place closer to the Android or iPhone. It is a smartphone introduced by RIM that runs on the OS 6. Even though it has leaped up with great improvements over the previous smartphone, some of the features really stand out. It has definitely come up with a better smartphone compared to the ‘Storm’ launched earlier but there are still flaws that may dampen its chances in the market.
NOTE: It’s possible to get a BlackBerry Torch 9800 even if you have a bad credit rating. We suggest you apply directly with one of the recommended networks online such as Virgin, T-Mobile and Vodafone.
The main feature of syncing with Microsoft Exchange Mail as well as security is something that has led to great appeal to the corporate crowd. The smartphone has BlackBerry Enterprise as its Server that allows users with tasks, calendar as well as contacts. This makes it a good device for business.
The amazing aspect of the smartphone is that it has a touchscreen and a hardware keyboard. Even if there are a number of makers who have attempted to combine the two, BlackBerry has managed to do it beautifully without making the phone look oversized. The smartphone has an excellent maneuvering capability so that the user can switch among the touchpad, keyboard and the touchscreen, making the browsing and texting experience more fulfilling.
A disappointing aspect is that it does not have a good web browsing capability. Even if BlackBerry has tried fixing it by combining the Webkit browser with OS 6, it is just not up to the required standard. The first issue is the delay in loading web pages plus the text is displayed just as in the older browser.
The other features of the smartphone include 4 GB microSD extendable up to 32 GB, 512 MB RAM and 4 GB memory. It is excellent for a casual user as other features are a camera of 5 megapixel, Bluetooth capability, autofocus, WiFi and GPS.
