nicely done! i would love to read this kind of review from normal day-to-day use consumers.. i'm currently using bold 2.. i'm having a hard time choosing whether to get an iphone4, android or just stick to BB and get a torch..

i love using BB with bbm, social networking and also the push email.. but with bold 2, its pretty hard to browse websites, checking out videos online, and sometimes its just tiring to look at the small screen.. and im not even 25yo! hahahaha!

so please anyone persuade me on sticking with BB and get this torch! LOL

Torch looks smart

small screen of bold/curve is y i am planning to buy the Torch , but sticking with 12 mth plan ;24 mths is too long.
Maybe by then Torch v1.5 or 2 may come out.

User friendliness / New user adapting

Easy to learn if you have used a smartphone before. There is a step-by-step tutorial when you start up the phone for the first time that explains the basic functions of the phone and how to access them. Other functions you will pick up along the way as you use it.

Desktop Manager 6 is also a user friendly tool that helps you update and back-up your phone. It also helps you sync music/vidoes/pictures to your phone the same way itunes would (but itunes is better at it). DM6 also makes using the tethering function very easy compared to DM5 previously.

I've had the pleasure of trying out Nokia, Sony Ericsson, iPhone and BB and I think BB and Nokia are on par in their learning curve.


Battery life

You will get a lot of conflicting statements on the battery life of the phone. Some will tell you it lasts longer than a Nokia, some will tell you otherwise. The truth is, it will depend on your personal usage. On average, if you are like me and you chat during office hours when you should be working you will get probably 10 - 15 hours of battery life on 2G connection before you need to charge your phone. I leave my house at 7am, I get home around 10pm, my phone is at about 20% life left. I run MSN, FB, Twitter, Whatsapp and Foursquare 24/7, and I occassionally surf the internet during breakfast and lunch.

I would say the battery life is satisfactory, and if you are not happy with the battery life, there are ways you can prolong the charge by reducing certain settings and minimising certain activity. Basic tips on conserving battery life:-

- Set your phone to 2G when not web browsing
- Minimise vibration settings
- Reduce your backlight brightness and sleep timer


Warranty and service

If your Nokie breakdown on telco contract, you have to go to Nokia service centre to fix it (based on some complaints I read on FB). Telco won't help in that respect.

If your BB is faulty, based on my experience with Maxis, they will take the phone back and help you get it fixed from the distributor


Why Blackberry over Nokia

- you have the same keyboard, but arguably better form
- push notifications
- depending on telco, cheaper data plan


Why Nokia over Blackberry

- More apps, better games/graphics (Ovi store has Angry Birds!!)
- Better resolution / camera

-Battery life all depends on user itself, how they managed and use their BlackBerry.

-BlackBerry Apps are coming in more and more day by days...

Battery life for the 9800 is not satisfactory. I hope 9780 will be better in terms of battery life.

Yup that is the problem facing by my forumer Torch battery life is not that good compares to Bold series.. For Bold series all battery are all same, so they have many capacity choices of battery...

Guys...Just wondering..
The shortcut key on the right called convenience Key.

I pressed and hold for 2 seconds and camera apps running, But the weird is, if i try to capture picture using the button, It wont take the picture.

is the any setting i missed?

Inside setting set your convenience keys (right and left) to your preferred usage..

Thanks. Im using BB to reply this.

So it is solved now??

Yeah..and I managed to install all the apps.

Enjoying BB at home(wifi 4mb screamyx)
