So did RIM succeed in creating a phone thats friendly (and trendy) enough for the average user but still secure and dependable for the typical business target? In one word no. But you know, smartphones are complicated creatures and describing them in one word is never quite fair.
So, sorry to those of you who might have expected an incredible overnight change. It will take several more generations of BlackBerry devices before it goes all mainstream and commercial. read more →
- Quad-band GSM/GPRS/EDGE
- 3G with HSPA support
- 3.2" 16M-color multi-touch capacitive touchscreen of 360 x 480 pixel resolution
- 5 MP autofocus camera with LED flash and VGA video recording
- BlackBerry OS 6
- Comes pricey
- No document editing without a paid upgrade
- Interface needs more polishing
- No FM radio
- No web browser Flash support
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 to see substantial changes in the attitude and direction of the company. While there are notable improvements here and much that is laudable, what we're ultimately left with is, at its core, more of the same. read more →
- Portrait slider is a great form factor
- Big improvements in native web browser
- OS is far more polished than last version
- Hardware design feels dated
- OS improvements are mostly skin deep
- Low resolution display
The BlackBerry Torch is the very model of a modern messaging smartphone, although it doesn't beat the iPhone or Android on media and games. read more →
- Looks and feels good
- Lots of new features
- Integrates social-networking well.
Against other models, like the HTC Desire or the iPhone, BlackBerry is the obvious corporate choice – no other manufacturer can match it in terms of the control and security that BlackBerry Enterprise Server offers. And when it comes to competing against them with its media capabilities, RIM has put in a stellar effort. But it's been outshone and overshadowed by it's younger brother – the Bold 9780. read more →
- Smooth touchscreen control
- Great camera with scene selectors
- Slide-out keyboard is a good compromise
- Bright and crisp 3.2-inch screen
- Good enterprise asset-tracking options
- Too slow for serious smartphone use
- Keyboard is too small
- App selection too practical
- Not great for media
- A bit on the bulky side
BlackBerry really struggled to get touchscreen right - look no further than the ill-fated BlackBerry storms as proof, and you’ll see just how stormy those waters are. If ironic names are anything, the Torch’s is even more telling - RIM hopes it got touch right this time, and I think they mostly have. The Torch is RIM’s comeback kid, and it admittedly does what it’s supposed to do very well. read more →
