Blackberry Torch 9800 Red - A stylish design and loads of features!

Blackberry is a brand owned by the Canadian company RIM. Blackberry phones are one of the most popular phones in the market. The company has a long list of smartphones that have been hugely successful in not just in developed but in all the markets of the world. If we talk specifically of the UK market, the company has tasted success on more than one occasion. Blackberry devices are popular not just among the corporate class but also among the teenagers who’re avid social networking users.Traditionally, the Blackberry devices are known for their superb messaging features and the qwerty keyboards. There was a time when all Blackberry devices used to have a similar design. Blackberry Torch 9800 Red is one of the first devices in which the company deviated from the familiar designs that we had seen hitherto and came out with something new. Trying to keep itself in tune with the times, the company introduced touchscreen along with the qwerty keyboard in this stylishly designed phone. The device has a sliding design that makes it very appealing. The sliding design of the device has also enabled the company to increase the screen size of the device considerably. Thus, we see one of the biggest screens from Blackberry that measures 3.2 inch. Though, the device is well-built and looks attractive, the sliding design has made the device a little bit chunky and heavy. However, it remains comfortable to hold in hand. Also, the keyboard can be used with ease. Introduction of the touchscreen doesn’t mean a compromise on the quality of the keyboard. The Blackberry keyboards are considered the best in the market by all standards. Conforming to this belief, the company has once again come out with a quality keyboard. The keys are well built and raised. That’s the reason that even though the keys are small in size, they remain easy to press, there by reducing the chances of pressing a wrong key. The Blackberry messenger functions well and the performance of it is further aided by the good quality of the keyboard. The phone runs on Blackberry 6 OS and is powered by 624 MHz processor. The 5 mega pixel camera is also one of the major upgrades. Though, a 5mega pixel camera has become a regular feature in all Blackberry devices, but Blackberry Torch 9800 Red was one of the first devices to come out with it.
