subject: The Blackberry Torch 9810: Better Than The 9800 [print this page] The thing with smartphones nowadays is that no one is actually contented with what they have. At most, they want to get every possible application to come with their handheld set. This can be possible, but of course with a price.
The Blackberry models have been in a continuous flux of development through the years. The first one became such a big hit to a point that it has perplexed many critics and tech gurus. Interestingly enough, the Blackberry model seemed to have found quite a market with the youth! Now how is that possible? QWERTY phones are not actually the kind that would scream hey kids, its cool to have a phone with so many buttons rather than just a few, right? As confusing as it may be, its already here. Blackberry will continuously become a hit, until they eventually fall short of ideas. And in this case, the brands popularity is only bound to grow with the Blackberry Torch 9810.
More commonly known as the Torch 2, the Blackberry Torch 9810 is an upgrade of the 9800. Though at first glance, one may not be able to see this. For one, the Torch 2 seems to have the same components as its predecessor. It also does not help that the Torch 2 weighs the same as the Torch 1. In fact, it even has the same dimensions as its predecessors, with the numbers being at 111 x 62 x 14.6mm. One may suggest that the phone is actually almost similar to its predecessor in terms of its look. But if you look further into it, you will find out that the variations of colors that this phone comes in are what make it different. The first Torch only comes in one color, while the Torch 2 comes in so many others that you can choose from.
For the loyal Blackberry users, the Torch 2 has to be one of the better buys in the market. The phone has the same signature forms that have been common with Blackberry models. The QWERTY slide panel is easy to use and its great that the same shortcut buttons are still available from the last Torch. Inside, you will find a significant change in the phone. There are added applications that are quite notable, but the most commendable part of the phone is the new processor. The Blackberry Torch 9810 runs on 1.2GHz single-core CPU with the accompaniment of the Adreno 205 GPU. This is one of the strongest processors in the market, as it is the same one being used by Sony Ericsson Xperia Play.
The best thing about this phone is that it answers everything that the first Torch lacked. The first one was pretty slow and that kind of hindered its sales in the end. The new Torch is bound to make waves in the market as one of the better smartphones to come out of the model line. For the Blackberry lovers out there, this is a must-have.
