Blackberry lovers have adored the recently launched Blackberry Torch 9800Torch came across as promising even until its launch in August 2010, when it definitely proved its merit. Although the phone can be unlocked and used with other mobile carriers, AT&T continues being its only service provider formally.
With the Blackberry Torch 9800 you get a touchscreen as well as a keypad, the best of both worlds. Blackberry's preceding model, the Touch, was popular with Blackberry users but many lamented that they missed having the keyboard. People did not feel 'with it' with the Blackberry Crush given that it did not have a touchscreen, but just a keyboard. The new Blackberry Torch has a touch responsive screen (touchscreen). If you've not bought a new phone anytime lately, this can be the ideal boost, especially considering that its keys are just like the usual, comfortable keys of all other Blackberries.
Providing the keyboard on the slider is specifically smart, since it allows users with flexibility as to how they want it - out or in. Unquestionably a large number of phone users are bothered by keyboard mishaps, whether its damage by water spillage, or damage by ending up sending a message to an intended recipient. Much like the regular Blackberry devices, this new device is quite sturdy and tough. In comparison to the other Blackberry models, the Torch actually feels a little bigger and as a result more powerful, as a result of the sliding keyboard.
Quite a number of people, who actually doubted the strength of the slider, have been surprised with how it has been designed. Just like the most superior phones should be, the Torch provides internet connectivity, Bluetooth and GPS. The only factor it is missing is the ability to record videos, even though the camera is pretty notable with 5 mega pixel pictures it can take. The BlackBerry Torch 9800 can be fairly challenging with its amazing features, to the current leader of the phones market, the iPhone 4.
Several people, who get easily confused in deciding which phone to buy, would this time be faster with their decision, thanks to the slider keyboard, which can really be a major alluring factor for picking the Torch. Remember, the Blackberry Torch is serviced only by AT&T at the moment. However if you desire you can buy one and get it jailbroke to work with whatever provider you are with at the moment.
The only thing to accomplish after getting it unlocked is, replacing its AT&T empowered SIM with the SIM card of your current or preferred provider, if that is not AT&T already. For those already apprehensive about how and where they'll get this phone jailbroke, here's the relief - the company supplies its unlocking code to you, when you purchase this phone. However, by supplying your carrier with the phone's IMEI code, you can also request an unlock code from your cell phone service provider, which prevents you from acquiring a new SIM card. By navigating to the Device menu, the IMEI number can be observed under the "Device and Status Information" sub-menu.
