BAD

1. BlackBerry 7 OS could struggle to compete with Android and iOs


The fourth smartphone on sale is BlackBerry Torch 9810 priced at SR 2,299. Full specifications of this phone can be viewed at http://www.gsmarena.com/blackberry_torch_9810-3723.php . The following reviews are from http://reviews.cnet.com/smartphones/blackberry-torch-9810-zinc/4505-6452_7-34855156.html

The good: The RIM BlackBerry Torch 9810 has a sharp, colorful, and responsive touch screen along with a full slide-out keyboard. BlackBerry OS 7 promises support for augmented-reality apps, voice-activated universal search, a new Liquid Graphics technology, an improved Web browser, and more. Other upgrades include a 1.2GHz processor and 720p HD video recording. It's very affordable.

The bad: The BlackBerry Torch 9810's design is very similar to its predecessor, with the same feature set as before.

The bottom line: The BlackBerry Torch 9810 won't wow newcomers with its tired old design, but its affordable price and much-improved specs should keep BlackBerry enthusiasts satisfied.
