Good: Touch Screen and Qwerty keyboard, Improved OS and browser overhalled

Bad: No real advance in processer speed, App store has ground to mke up

Comment: I have to admit that for years I've been a fan of Blackberrys despite never actually owning one. So what put me off purchasing, well the main reason was the browser, I am the sort of person that likes to have instant access to the world at the touch of the button and I'm sad to say that RIM wern't even an "also ran", this coupled with an overly expensive and under stocked app store is what has seen me steer clear of Blackberrys thus far.

The Torch certainly has all the things I love about Blackberrys, the classic, stylish look and the feeling of it being a more grownup device when compared to the everyman iPhone. I believe with a touch screen and the full Qwerty keyboard (For the occasions when you need to do more than fire off a quick text) it will please the old and bold (punn intended, lol) and bring in the gadget hungry types that love a bit of pinch & zoom at the weekends.

So what issues do I see?. Well for starters it appears that although RIM have switched to a decent bowser and tidied up the browser they have not seen fit to boost performance, in fact as far as I'm aware (and I'm willing to be corrected on this) they have simply transplanted the same processor from the Bold, so I have to ask the question "Can the old harware live up to the new software?". The second issue I have (although by no means a deal breaker) is the screen, it is (like the processor) simply transplanted from another RIM device, namely the storm 2. I would have liked to have seen a higher resolution screen especially as the Torch's peers a rocking AMOLED and the like.

In conclusion I like the classic look of the Torch and I'm glad RIM have addressed a few of the issues that have put me off their products in the past, I just wish they would take more than just baby steps when it comes to advancing there hardware. RIM look to have made a good device but probably need to take a bigger leap with their next one.

Good: New system

Bad: Looks

Comment: I think they have taken there first touch screen phone, and there best blackberry and combined them, but personally I don't think they have succeeded in doing so! the looks of the torch looks ugly as sin! but the key board looks good!! i think they have also copied the design from the Palm pre! It has the Bold 9700 track pad and keyboard and me being a bold user Will love it! but the touch screen for me, Makes is keep tacky and out dated now! its nice to see Blackberry series 6 on the handheld and HOPEFULLY they make something for the bold, curve and storm to use for it! i think Blackbery's app world needs to stocked and price checked BADLY, they are losing it all to apple!!

RIM you can make a better looking phone then this!
