Blackberry Torch 9850 Specs, Price, Review

Blackberry Torch 9850. RIM recently announced four new smartphones here and the BlackBerry Torch 9850 is one of them. This handset has a 3.7 inches screen, a five megapixels camera along with 720p HD video capture, and a 1.2 GHz processor. The specs of this phone say that it belongs to the upper tier and hence you can expect it to carry a big price tag. This handset hasn’t been released in India yet so I can’t tell you about the price but it is sure that this phone won’t come cheap. Also, prices drop very fast; so if you aren’t too desperate for this device, I would recommend you to wait for a little longer.

Possessing a 3.7-inch WVGA display, the Torch 9850 is RIM's best and largest touch-screen BlackBerry to date. In addition to the sharp screen is a certain element of style that we appreciate, and the phone feels good in the hand.

Blackberry Torch 9850

BlackBerry Torch 9850 comes with a 1.2 GHz processor which is much faster than the one on the previous BB phones. I saw some lag occasionally but this won’t bother you too much. The onscreen controls are pretty responsive for most of the time but sometimes I had to tap the display a few more times to get registered.
