The basics of the Blackberry Torch 9800
The Blackberry Torch 9800 maintains many of the things that Blackberry phones have become known for. The QWERTY keyboard is housed in a slider-style case. The messaging and web browsing functions are still solidly in place, though updated. The Blackberry Torch 9800 has a similar size and weight as previous models. The security features on the Blackberry Torch 9800 also remain in place.
Updating firmware on the Blackberry Torch
The Blackberry Torch 9800 has the new Blackberry 6 operating system. This update includes features that Blackberry users have been asking for. There could be a universal search, and social networking and messaging can be integrated. Data usage is kept to a minimum with the new WebKit browser, supposedly. The Blackberry App Store comes pre-loaded on the Blackberry Torch 9800, allowing you to customize the phone easily.
Blackberry Torch 9800 concerns
The Blackberry Torch 9800 may not be enough for RIM to truly survive. The Blackberry is and has always been intended and developed for business and government use — strong security and no-frills interfaces. RIM seems to be courting more of the consumer market with the Blackberry Torch. The new Blackberry Torch 9800 has a tiny screen with low resolution, though, and an email interface that is reportedly very clunky. These together may prove to be the downfall of this Smartphone maker, even though they really began the Smartphone movement.
