So Blackberry lovers can feel as though their not missing out on the fun, Blackberry has tried to enhance their fun with the new Torch 9800.
What it offers
The new 6.0 operating system on the Torch 9800 runs a lot smoother than the Blackberry Bold ever did. It’s faster and doesn’t cut out half of the information you request. The new OS 6 is familiar to Blackberry lovers, but has a few updated additions which make the Torch 9800 ergonomically easy to use. Web access is fast with HSDPA or Wi-Fi and the Webkit-based browser incorporates automatic search and pinch to zoom. The new system allows you to choose the amount of icons showing, and allows you to move between 5 different screens to arrange them in order of importance. You can easily rearrange the icons whenever needed.
Blackberry apps
Although Blackberry is still behind the iPhone in the app world, it has many useful productivity apps including a free social feeds app which organizes your social networking feeds. The Snaptu app is great because it consolidates all of your online services such as sports updates, social networks, TV, film, movie and restaurant information.
Visuals
There is still a toolbar at the top of the screen which displays your connectivity info including your network, Bluetooth and WiFi connections. The toolbar also includes a message bar alerting you to monitor messages from either email or Facebook and Twitter. Pressing on the messages bar, gets you a drop down menu of all messages sorted by its source.
The keyboard can be used in the big touch format developed for the storm 2 or the QWERTY keyboard of the 9700 bold. The touch screen still flaunts the editable AutoText. Anyone buying the Torch 9800 is likely to prefer a physical QWERTY keyboard. It has the usual 35 well-spaced keys, angled in RIM's uniquely thumb-caressing way, along with the keyboard, there is also an Optical track pad, Multi-touch input and a Proximity sensor. The handsets internal memory is 4GB and it can be easily expanded up to 32 GB using a micro SD card slot.

The camera is 5 MP which has auto focus, LED flash with Geo-tagging, image stabilization and video recording. The new Torch 9800 has an Aunsoft DVD Ripper.
