Whether or not you believe the new BlackBerry Torch 9800 from AT&T is as revolutionary as RIM’s TV ads imply, depends on what side of the smartphone divide you’re on. If you’re a current BlackBerry user, you’ll find the Torch a quantum improvement over...

It's undeniable - we're in what I like to call the "summer of smartphones." Never in my seven years in wireless have I seen devices launch so quickly. Innovation is moving at a lightning-fast pace, and manufacturers are struggling to keep up. We'v...
Bottom line The Torch is a decent device that should keep existing BlackBerry users happy, but during my entire review, I couldn't help but notice how underpowered it is in comparison to its competitors. The Torch 9800 is marketed in the same high-end bracket a...

About nine years ago, I was walking around with a first-generation BlackBerry on my belt. That 'Berry couldn't make phone calls, it couldn't browse the Web, and it sure couldn't play music. It did just one thing: e-mail. Smartphones hadn't been invente...
Bottom line As with any BlackBerry, e-mail is at the core of the Torch 9800's functionality. But instead of a corporate buzz cut, the Torch is more like a mullet: business in front, party in the back. That's not a bad thing. It allows for excellent enterprise fun...

RIM’s mythical sliding device finally got official after years and years of rumors. It’s being released tomorrow exclusively on AT&T and features the all new BlackBerry 6 operating system. We’re talking multitouch, gestures, redone multimedia applicati...
Bottom line 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...

The new BlackBerry Torch 9800 with BlackBerry 6 keeps RIM in the smartphone game. It's the first truly usable touch screen BlackBerry, and it's packed with new features—a new Web browser, new apps, a new interface, and new social networking hooks. It m...
Good Looks and feels good. Lots of new features. Integrates social-networking well.
Bad Browser still slower than iPhone 4. Fewer games and apps than iOS or Android. Poor Microsoft Exchange integration for consumers.
Bottom line 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...

The Blackberry Torch has been launched recently with relatively little fanfare, but signs point to the fact that it has taken the position of "best blackberry ever" from the Bold 9700. The Torch is now available on AT&T's network and other carriers wi...

You really have to empathize with BlackBerry to understand why updating the entire BlackBerry platform has taken so long. On one hand, it caters to an audience of serious business customers that have chosen RIM for both its unwavering dedication to dev...
Bottom line 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...
