Calls and SMS works allways well. If a website is too complex, the browser just closes the tab and it's almost imposible to do tabbed browsing unless all tabs are ultra-simple mobile websites. The lock button is in a bad place.
Little use for the touchscreen. Had this phone and still do, camera's decent for a phone, though the video is pretty bad, no offense.
Still works without SIM, but you can't really use the browser without it. I bought it at n use it almost a year until i retrade it with z Nice phone n i love the keyboard.
And no he not supports WhatsApp and others. Anonymous, 16 Jun Hello I have an old Torch - which I use on rare occasions - and cannot switch it off per In fact, I noticed some clear pixilation in certain wallpapers and images, which doesn't exactly scream "high-end device," especially since RIM's competitors included some very impressive displays in their most recent wares, particularly Apple.
The Torch's less-than-impressive display isn't a deal-breaker for me personally, but I do wish RIM had included a higher-quality screen. Similarly, the processor packed into the Torch, thought to be the Mhz Marvell PXA , the same processor used in many other recently BlackBerry could be faster, to put it mildly. And it shows. RIM seems to have skimped a bit on both the Torch display and processor, and while it might not mean much to your average smartphone user, power-users like me will definitely notice.
And that's a bad thing. After using the BlackBerry Torch extensively for a week and speaking with other Torch users, it's clear that the device's top panel, which is composed of a screen-lock button, a mute key and a space for the device's speaker, could be problematic over time. That's because the top panel is already slightly loose and it creaks a bit when pressed, mostly on the lock-side, but that could be because that's the side I used most often. It's not a huge issue, and honestly it doesn't really bother me much, but if it keeps loosening up it could certainly flip many a Torch owner's smile upside down--and lead to returns or exchanges.
The trackpad, which is used for navigation, in addition to the touch screen, is also slightly crooked and uplifted on one side, which caused it to get scuffed already, probably while bouncing around with other objects in my pocket. And since the Torch doesn't come with any sort of case or holster, this probably isn't exactly a rare occurrence.
On that note: It's a good idea to pick up some kind of case for the Torch upon purchase. Though the Torch slider mechanism itself feels quite solid, the bottom right side of the sliding touch-screen panel has started to lift slightly, more so than on the left side, which is a bit worrisome. Again, it's hard to tell whether or not this will become a problem in the future, but it's worth noting. The Torch has only one customizable convenience key, on its right-side, which is unfortunate, because it really should have at least two in my opinion, like its Bold brethren.
If you move to the Torch from a device with only one convenience key, or no such keys, this probably won't be an issue, but I definitely missed the second button. One thing that I really appreciated about the first two BlackBerry Bold devices, the and , was the external speaker quality, which made for great music-listening and speakerphone experiences.
The Torch speaker definitely leaves something to be desired, I was disappointed to find that my music sounds tinny and hollow via Torch.
Speakerphone call-quality similarly suffered.
