@kennii97 Get the torch over the 9780 if you want that big touchscreen for watching movies, videos browsing web and other things, but otherwise, go for the 9780. The specs are pretty similar in terms of software and camera, etc. It's just that the torch is SAID to lag, but I cannot personally cofirm that as i don't have one, yet :) I want a torch 2 if it comes out. The 9780 is newer. Soit's your choice: go for the torch if you want a big touchscreen or go for the 9780 for better keyboard space.
i wanna get this for christmas.i had a touch screen fone,untill my cat pushed it water now i have a easy fone with no qwerty board.my mom had a blackberry.there really cool
I have a question, If you change the font does it also change the font on facebook? I want facebook to be more zoomed out so I can seee more than 1 status at a time.
I switched from a blackberry bold 9650 to a Moto droid. And its honestly the best switch I ever made. I will never be going back to a blackberry, they are so far behind and even with this new phone, they still lack so much and just bank on great emailing and bbm. Blackberry needs to step up they're game quick, or else people wont be sticking around.
@Bacon676 i will give you that some people like the widgets but i have had android phones and i never used them i hated the email and keyboard just wasnt for me and i hated the icons and how they were all set up and there was to much social networking stuff i dont like that
@macaw5138 Well if you hate your iphone 3g, then you would probably hate the 3gs. The only thing that the iphone has better than the BlackBerry is the app store. Unless you use apps all the time, I would try BB. Just my opinion.
bad experience for me I don't really like this phone. The back cover falls I have almost dropped it a few times taking it out because of that. This is my second one because the first one had a problem by the 4th day. It unlocks in my pocket and other problems
Honestly it still looks like rimm is trying to compete with andriod and ios4. To me I don't think rimm has a chance in gaining back market share that they have lost to it's competitors. The OS 6 should have come out earlier this year and with it only coming out on AT&T and no launch dates for the other carriers I think it's gonna be a flop.
wow, this phone is amazing, ussually i dont really care for the blackberry os and I turned my head more towards palm anyday. but this phone, now that Ive seen it make me kida want it a little bit... :0
@jhishanN htc sense on top is good blackberry torch if you no looks like a palm pre but im a blackberry user never liked iphone but android is ever where on htc phones sony phones LG has it so its the shit
Honestly, the phone is good. but I don't like it i'm only 14, and my mom had it for like 3 months and she ddnt like it, so my old phone broke, so i was using that until she called at&t. it's okay if you like apps and shit. and It has wifi.
E@pattycarljackson Negative good sir. If you're saying blackberry is the best simply because its extremely cut, dry, and simple, then yes. I have to agree. It's all that and more. However, nobody highlights android for being able to use Widgets. I personally don't care much about them. However: with the exception of bbm, android has FAR more core functionality over bb, just as the iPhone does.
@westcoastbcj I agree. I had the Blackberry Curve on Verizon and then I switched to an Android Phone (the LG Ally) and man the Android Apps are so much better and have a lot more fun apps. Definitely better. Android > Blackberry
You guys really need to invest in higher quality cameras or better location because the videos arent as crisp and clear as they should be for a review channel.
I like how the storm (2) has that 'whole screen is a button' thing going on.
@charlottte343 yes flashes red or you can get an app which changes the colour of the flash
I love dual Touch & keyboard. I just like options.
if and or when the torch comes to sprint, i'm upgrading from my curve 8530 :)
i love the palm pre and reccomend people buy that instead that is if theyre still for sale
no camera problems. still processing
@igm293 its good, and yes
Love this phone!! Got it the first day it was released last year..worked great!!
@MrRasco97 I went with the Bold 9780, love it!!!
@jhishanN I agree... android alone is an iphone without the apps.
@SovietSlayer it wasnt done uploading yet
@SlayAndPlay thank you
Is the Torch a better pick over the Bold 9780?

im iphone switcher bb is awesome
Can you do a Blackberry Torch 9800 vs Blackberry Bold 9780 please !. I am torn between witch one to take what is the best ??
can you send files like songs through bluetooth with the torch?
for those who have this phone...any problems?
does the physical QWERTY keyboard get annoying? are the keys too small?
im gettin this phone and im takin bak my bold 9700
Can someone tell me how to get bbm on pay as you go? Thank you.
@phonedog you know you can upload videos up to 15mins now?
should i get this or the bold 9700?
Haven't you been in Heroes?
@MusicEqualsLife013 lol i got my 9700 like a couple weeks ago
@lilstan2k you not waiting for it to process that's whats up....
i wanna get this for christmas.i had a touch screen fone,untill my cat pushed it water now i have a easy fone with no qwerty board.my mom had a blackberry.there really cool
i want to buy this phone, im really tempted, i currently have bb 8250. not sure if torch is worth the money though? apparently the battery aint good
should i get this of the 9780? and which is more new?
I have a question, If you change the font does it also change the font on facebook? I want facebook to be more zoomed out so I can seee more than 1 status at a time.
is this a resistive or copasitive touch screen?
How much the blackberry torch cost??
Most of those menu features seem very similar to android.... Any reason crack berry?
hey what's the problem with the camera???

how is it monthly att&t
@Bacon676 i will give you that some people like the widgets but i have had android phones and i never used them i hated the email and keyboard just wasnt for me and i hated the icons and how they were all set up and there was to much social networking stuff i dont like that
*curve not bold lol :) so get the blackberry torch
Good review:)
think i'm going to wait for the Torch 2, does anyone know when it's getting released?
:D :D
Looks like that phone is 2 years old
Great review, but things are not looking great for Blackberry.
@macaw5138 Well if you hate your iphone 3g, then you would probably hate the 3gs. The only thing that the iphone has better than the BlackBerry is the app store. Unless you use apps all the time, I would try BB. Just my opinion.
When you touch the screen is there heptic feedback? (did I spell heptic right lol?)
This would be the perfect phone for me if I wasn't so hooked on Android phones
can you get apps like angry birds?
@edward2868 fucking agreed dats like going from windows to linux
Great review, but your camera was really bad in this video, on your other reviews your camera is great
#TEAMBLACKBERRY I hope sprint gets this by December
yo! wtf happen to the US Cellular phone!?
damnit i want one soooooooo bad.
@SlayAndPlay do you know which month and year the new torch is coming out? :)
No.
The problem with Torch is the flex.
If the flex broke.You'll send it for repair. And will cost you a bit high.
I like this guy a lil more then Noah.
bad experience for me I don't really like this phone.
The back cover falls I have almost dropped it a few times taking it out because of that.
This is my second one because the first one had a problem by the 4th day.
It unlocks in my pocket and other problems
@doompod a jailbroken iphone is amazing but it is not so great that it is much better than every android phone.
@lord88987 capacitive...
@scouseno1 Get the Torch, much more convenient and user-friendly.
Honestly it still looks like rimm is trying to compete with andriod and ios4. To me I don't think rimm has a chance in gaining back market share that they have lost to it's competitors.

I
looks interesting, but i'd still rather have the iPhone or Samsung's newest galaxy S phone
Noah this is suppose to be your review!
@kaalyes10 thats how blackberry users are.
@jhishanN htc sense on top is good blackberry torch if you no looks like a palm pre but im a blackberry user never liked iphone but android is ever where on htc phones sony phones LG has it so its the shit
@shdxc i like them both
hey is this phone good? and can you download free apps???
got mine today!!! =)
i reely regret buying it...
@TinyTitian Lol yeppp
Honestly, the phone is good.
but I don't like it i'm only 14, and my mom had it for like 3 months and she ddnt like it, so my old phone broke, so i was using that until she called at&t. it's okay if you like apps and shit.
and It has wifi.
black berry nobody uses it anymore
@mjr18793 Yea I was just think where is Noah :S
MicroSim?
The OS looks ok, but the phone itself looks kinda boring
im sorry but android os is by far the best OS for phone enthusiasts.
@MrZOMG1234567 omfg, phonedog isn't revolved around noah. there's other people too. damn.
E@pattycarljackson Negative good sir.

i like the phone
u outta use a differnt background while doing reviews
@farhadcarl619 mate i have a htc desire which costs more than a shitty BB only good thing about them is BBM and thats it!
@macaw5138 3gs :-) its better, and faster all around then your 3g
@westcoastbcj I agree. I had the Blackberry Curve on Verizon and then I switched to an Android Phone (the LG Ally) and man the Android Apps are so much better and have a lot more fun apps.
Definitely better. Android > Blackberry
@Miteour17 then that sucks and i wont buy it
@GeeDrummer android #1 sell world os
Whats with the video quality? Its 2010!! Time for 720p at least???
Nice review BTW
You guys really need to invest in higher quality cameras or better location because the videos arent as crisp and clear as they should be for a review channel.
wow!!!!!! a fastish Blackberry.
@MusicEqualsLife013 ikr :D
@thetreverpitts
android alone is horrible, its much better with motoblur or htc sense on top of it
not my kind of phone..
This phone doesn't give the full features it should for such an expensive gadget.
