Blackberry Torch 9800 - The Buyer Analyze for Best Smartphone from Blackberry

Feb. 17, 2011 - PRLog -- The Blackberry Torch is the great all-around business smartphone. It emails better than the iPhone 4 because of the traditional Blackberry qwerty keyboard and it files and sorts emails like Microsoft Outlook. I can see all my email accounts on one screen and I can see my sent emails in the same screen. This was something the iPhone 4 need going to two separate screens to see. The HTC ARIA was even bad, had to go to each account and then switch from the inbox to sent folder. This was a shock since I have 4 email accounts.

A lot of the native apps have been nicely streamlined with software buttons along the bottom, offering approach to mutual commands. For example, tasks allows you check items accomplished with one touch (no need to click through, or enter into a menu), or adding an assignment in the Calendar, or saving favorites in Files. The idea is carried throughout many native apps, and provides even more convenience than the short menus that pop up from clicking the trackpad.

The Contacts app shows recent activity history at the bottom of the entry, including text messages, status updates, calls, and the like. This can be really handy, since you’re usually appearing someone up in your address book for something specific, and that recent activity can provide a direct link to references you need. A particularly great address book link is Twitter, which had yet to pair with local contacts as instant messaging apps (like Google Talk, AIM, and BBM) have done. There were some irregularities sending direct messages from a contact, but nothing the next patch won’t fix. Importing Google contacts through the utility built into BlackBerry Internet Service didn’t work especially well, as it just piled up all of the home/business address into one field, rather than dispersing them into respective fields (street, city, postal code, etc).

After loading up all of my usual apps, it didn’t take long for that familiar hourglass to pop up again, forcing me to not do what I wanted because my BlackBerry accepts some tidying up to do around the place. Given, on my Bold 9000 this trouble is a little more chronic, but it’s still disheartening to see it reappear on the Torch 9800. One would hope that as a brand new generation of software, glaringly conspicous problems like that would have been stomped out. On top of the browser being especially taxing on the 624 MHz processor, I’ve found that things also slow to a crawl when streaming music over Bluetooth. Again, I hope these are problems that a simple firmware update will fix, maybe around the same time the 9700 gets OS 6, or when the 9780 launches.
