YOU MIGHT ALSO WANT TO CHECK OUT THE IPHONE 4 VS THE BLACKBERRY TORCH VIDEO REVIEW
With its newBlackBerry Torch 9800 smartphone, Research In Motion seems to have navigated this line successfully. While
it's unlikely that the Torch will draw
consumers away from theiriPhones and
Android devices, at least BlackBerry users
won't be completely left in the dust.The new BlackBerry smartphone offers a
3.2-in., 480-by-360-resolution touch
display. While it's clear and fairly sharp, the display isn't really comparable to the
leading consumer smartphones -- for
example, the iPhone 4's 3.5-in. display
boasts a 960 by 640 resolution, while the
Droid X has an even larger 4.3-in. display
with a resolution of 854 by 480.
On the other hand, the unit weighs 5.7 oz.,
about the same weight as the Droid X, and is, at 2.4 by .57 by 4.4 in., about the same size as the iPhone 4. I found it very comfortable to handle and use, and it is small enough to drop into a shirt pocket without a second thought.
The phone features a slide-out vertical
keyboard -- bringing it to a length of 5.8 in.
when open -- that still has the rounded
look and small but well-engineered keys
typical of BlackBerry devices.
