Hi, I am very very very new to Blackberry. Yesterday I went to a Handphone shop thinking of upgrading my Nokia N97 mini. The seller recommended me to look into Blackberries. Of all the models I like torch the most.

For you guys that own this model, what is your opinion on this. Thanks.

HAHAHA, I meant the seller showed me a few BlackBerry(s), I thought the plural of Blackberry is <<Blackberries>>. Excuse me if I am wrong.

I don't mind slide and touch screen, in fact I like this two functions. My main concern for Blackberry is the battery life and its user friendliness. I used Nokia all the while, so I need some confident boost to switch brand.

I am a heavy phone user that on average I will make and receive about 40 calls. Each last for about 4 minutes. I don't surf the internet often, only about 1 hour per day when I am bored. I don't use GPS only when I am in KL, that will be about 25 days in a year
.

I need a good contact retriving system, good calender and organizer, easy to access calculator and maybe a good camera. Be able to acess spreadsheet and word prosseser is a definite plus.

I need my phone to be able to last for at least 18 hours everyday, and I always charge it at night when I sleep. But I never swith it off, even during charging.

Question : Is Blackberry Torch 9800 suitable for me?

Thanks in advance.

Hi guys, how long does the battey on your torch last? Can it last for a full day before recharging it at night?

I am quite a heavy user that on average I talk about 160 minutes each day.

Net surfing about two hours each day.
