BlackBerry Torch 9860 Review

The single-core processor is more than enough to run BB OS 7 without any slowdown or unnecessary lag. There is no real multi-tasking so having 768MB RAM is not a problem at all. However, only about 200MB were available even on the first boot up. Internal memory is lacking hugely at just 2.5GB available for use. There is a micro-sd card slot but I certainly feel that a 8GB card should have been provided for media usage. The front of the smartphone has four buttons which are typical of BlackBerry smartphones in recent years. The camera (5MP) takes some capable images but images were cold and a little blurry. Overall for taking pictures at the club with your friends the camera will do just fine. Furthermore, the inclusion of 720p takes decent footage. Battery life on the 9860 is quite average. I get about a day’s usage but just having 3g on drains battery quickly. Overall I enjoy using the Torch 9860 as it is speedy. I like the design and build quality. The operating system is not on par with iOS, Windows Phone or Android but is still worthy of day to day use. I strongly feel that this phone should have had a 8-megapixel camera to compete with the strong competition.
