Blackberry Torch 9800

BlackBerry Torch 9800 (AT&T) Rated 4 out of 5 by Wireless and Mobile News Review of Reviews

Reviewers of the BlackBerry Torch liked many of the improvements made by RIM such as the new operating systems, the dual-hybrid and touchscreen, messaging, social networking and new media features. Most reviewers found the BlackBerry Torch to be on the slow side and not as flashy or sexy as the iPhone 4 or other high resolution smartphones, while BlackBerry users are in heaven with enough touchscreen and media features to keep them happy.

Where the BlackBerry Torch shines is with messaging social networking with updates in an unified inbox. Data is compacted making it possible for users to only need the 200 mb $15 a month data plan from AT&T.

The BlackBerry Torch as all the expected smartphone features such as Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, 5 megapixel camera, GPS, media player, with added new feature of Wi-Fi media syncing.

Call quality was good but lacked noise cancellation and the camera worked well for the most part.

CrackBerry called the BlackBerry Torch the best-BlackBeery yet. The question readers have to answer is do you want a BlackBerry, iPhone or Andrroid experience?

The BlackBerry Torch 9800 Slide will be available on August 12, for $199 with a contract. It does require a data plan, but because BlackBerry uses less data, users may be able to have plenty of data on the lower plans.
