When I was deciding on a phone, I decided that I didn't really need all the fancy Android features and whatnot, and I wanted to be able to feel my buttons as I text. This phone fit pretty much most of what I needed. It was small and portable, had a slide-out full QWERTY keyboard, and it was actually a smart phone to boot. Although I don't use many of the smart phone features, I do like having the touch screen there, rather than using the optical track pad to scroll through things. The only thing that bugs me, like with almost every person/company that has reviewed this phone, is the lock/unlock button on the top left corner. Its easily tapped while in your pocket, allowing the touch screen to make random things happen. However this problem is solved easily with many of the plain hard cases people sell online. There were a few things that drew me to this phone. The battery life (which BlackBerry is known for), the keyboard, and the sleek and small style. The sliding function feels smooth and satisfying every time you open and close it. Also having the LED light to notify you of texts/missed calls/etc. really helps, rather than having to check the screen itself. This isn't exactly the best smartphone on the market, and it's not a huge seller, but it is in my opinion one of the most stylish BlackBerry phones out there. It has all the essential features RIM puts on their phones, so there's no wondering if they sacrificed something for the sake of style.Read full review
I replaced a 8220 Blackberry Pearl flip phone which I really liked with the 9810 Torch slider. I was really hesitant about getting a slider touch screen because of possible pocket dials and noises coming from my pocket from the various buttons being hit by other objects in my pocket. I have had both problems. They can be easily corrected either by wearing a holster or by exercising more care sliding into my pocket with greater care, I am enjoying the full qwerty keyboard over the flip's 20 key keyboard, but I miss being able to text with one hand as I found laying the 9810 on a desk or table. I have been having an issue on longer text messages with the phone switching off the text in the middle of my typing. Because I found a phone with much use for less money, I'm expecting some flaws and I think updating the phone may take care of it. I am still getting used to its features but at this point I am pleased with its function. I cannot speak to its function on browsing the web as I never have been much of a browsing kind of user basically I need a telephone.Read full review

I've owned Bold 9000 before and decided to upgrade my BB. OS 7.1 internet browser is light years ahead compared with older OS 5 incarnation. Browsing is fast, pages are accurate. Torch has GPS, compas, fast processor, etc, all you need from BB device. Screen is very good, and virtual keyboard requres accomodation period. Physical keyboard is neat, but not so good as on Bold 9000 - it's somewhere between Curve and Bold style, but closer to Bold. OS 7.1 is quite intuitive, but it's still a keyboard based OS adopted to touch screen - some operations could be a bit shorter, nothing serious to experienced BB users. Battery life is, well - not so good. With WIFI on, I can achieve about one full day (24 h) between charging. The good thing is that restarting (battery pull) doesn't drain battery as it does with Bold 9000 (OS 5). All in all, battery is quite underpowered for device. Build quality seems good, but that will be seen in future as this is a slider. Once again, fake chrome edges tends to peel very easily, which is Bold 9000 flaw too - consider buying one of shell cass. Value for money? I've bought mine on auction relatively cheap. It's worth it if you like BB and are BB user right now. If we look in the future, maybe it's better to wait for BB OS 10 devices - OS 7.1 device prices will fall and OS 10 is very promising.Read full review
This little Blackberry is a very good phone, easy to handle, works well, has many good features that make it useful in all sorts of situations. It is used and looks it, which is not a bother for me. The slide works well and has no slop in it at all. The keyboard is like new! The only thing that makes it less than 5 stars is a function of Blackberry and not the seller. This phone, like most Blackberrys, cannot send or receive mutli-media messages (MMS) unless you pay to have the Blackberry Internet Service. Unlike a regular phone, merely having a data connection does not get MMS. If sending or getting pictures in your text messages is important, this phone will likely disappoint you.

This Upgrade of the first BlackBerry Torch puts any old blackberry device in a very, Very distant past! This is the next generation of BlackBerry, this is the Torch 2! Featuring the new BlackBerry Device Software 7.0 this phone shows excellent graphics, icons are re-designed and well colored. Although all the system keeps same navigation style and menu as software 6.0. This new Software also includes voice search engine in addition to the global search feature introduced in software 6.0. Device improvements over the past model 9800 includes a HD video recorder camera with 5MPx and Flash. The new 1.2Ghz processor doubles the 624Mhz packed on the 9800 so you'll experience fast performance in apps, and in the whole system. I have loaded a GameBoy emulator and it runs full speed but without sound still. Memory has beed upgraded as well featuring 768MB of RAM and 8GB of Internal Memory for storage. As stated 8GB is for storage of Videos, Photos, Music and documents, 768MB is for install apps, games and themes. You can increase the 8GB by inserting a microSD card. Also features NFC. In the Software, this features an Compass app, Docs To Go Premium Edition, Preinstalled FaceBook, Twitter, BBM and MySpace. No new games, keeps the old brickbreaker and wordmole. Others features keeps same, WiFi, TouchScreen, Optical TrackPad. Overall this is an really fast smartphone which would move you to an new era of mobility, the only fault is that in the actual state, it cannot be used as an Mobile HotSpot device but probably this feature will be added in BlackBerry Software 7.1 Thanks and God blessRead full review
