BlackBerry Torch 9800 Review Part 1

[racing12mad]

why does it have tochscreen and a trackpad?

[Protostark]

No.

The problem with Torch is the flex.

If the flex broke.You'll send it for repair. And will cost you a bit high.

[49Tanvir]

it's 2:40 at 2:40 looool xD

[treguard1982]

Haven't you been in Heroes?

[DannyBgo]

bad experience for me I don't really like this phone.

The back cover falls I have almost dropped it a few times taking it out because of that.

This is my second one because the first one had a problem by the 4th day.

It unlocks in my pocket and other problems

[charlottte343]

does it still flash to show you have a msg? x

[786cantona]

@charlottte343 yes flashes red or you can get an app which changes the colour of the flash

[shinnonosabakux]

you reset it to show us :D aw

[jmass67]

@macaw5138 3gs :-) its better, and faster all around then your 3g

[THEMOSTARINGME]

*curve not bold lol :) so get the blackberry torch

[THEMOSTARINGME]

@IcyFreezeballs4 definitely the Blackberry Torch, I got this phone 2 and a half months ago and it's awesome! And my family really likes blackberry so we all have a blackberry, and my brother has a bold and the torch is definitely better, and if u didn't want to read all of this then: GET THE BLACKBERRY TORCH! :D

[IcyFreezeballs4]

should i get a blackberry curve or blackberry torch??? on att

[MrsAllyKat2011]

@IcyFreezeballs4 I have a friend that has the Blackberry Torch 9800 and I'd rather have that phone ANYDAY than my stupid Straight Talk phone. So I'd suggest the Torch :) The touch is great, the keyboard is perfect, when you view a message, it views it as a chat session, which I really like, and it is only $25.00 online. Hope this helped :)

[raejaybigpapi]

I just got a BlackBerry on Verizon but if I could've switched to AT&T i would've gotten a white Torch.

[strangetothemax]

can you get apps like angry birds?

[Miteour17]

@strangetothemax no

[strangetothemax]

@Miteour17 then that sucks and i wont buy it

[MangoFlavoredCarter]

Honestly, the phone is good.

but I don't like it i'm only 14, and my mom had it for like 3 months and she ddnt like it, so my old phone broke, so i was using that until she called at&t. it's okay if you like apps and shit.

and It has wifi.

[OcarinaBrothers]

Keep my atrix or return it before the 30 day trial ends and get a blackberry? I'm a teenage texting, web, and social networking addict. Love my atrix but something about android doesn't feel right to me. I can't explain it though.

[JackAndrew95]

@OcarinaBrothers Someone who feels the same way about Android as me!

[OcarinaBrothers]

@JackAndrew95 I actually returned it for a wp7 lol

[whatchutalkinboutnig]

at&t sucks. i really wanted this phone. but its not w/ the carrier i want :(

[linxstorm]

...

[RedaThePro17]

you are a son of a bitch you fatso and go shave yourself and note that blackberry means bullshit

[ichigo8892]

@RedaThePro17 WTF¿?



[RedaThePro17]

@ichigo8892 Your mothers a bitch too

[ichigo8892]

@RedaThePro17 AGAIN... WTF ¿? what is in your brain ¿? SHIT ¿?

[RedaThePro17]

@ichigo8892 whats in my my brain? your mom s pussy

[ichigo8892]

@RedaThePro17 wow ... retard....

[kbeels14]

i got this phone and this review from phonedog helped a lot! I didnt like my iphone and so far this phone has been great!

[kbeels14]

i got this phone and this review from phonedog helped a lot!

[JoLhen11]

hi to all.. i got a new BB torch 2 days ago but the physical keyborad never work at all,, i followed the settings but it has nothing do to at all.. pls somebody help me coz im thinking to give back to the store or get an exchange.. pls reply if u had the same problem but soleved it..

[MrTruthIsTold]

@macaw5138 Well if you hate your iphone 3g, then you would probably hate the 3gs. The only thing that the iphone has better than the BlackBerry is the app store. Unless you use apps all the time, I would try BB. Just my opinion.

[kennii97]

should i get this of the 9780? and which is more new?

[lambojkah330]

@kennii97 Get the torch over the 9780 if you want that big touchscreen for watching movies, videos browsing web and other things, but otherwise, go for the 9780. The specs are pretty similar in terms of software and camera, etc. It's just that the torch is SAID to lag, but I cannot personally cofirm that as i don't have one, yet :) I want a torch 2 if it comes out. The 9780 is newer. Soit's your choice: go for the torch if you want a big touchscreen or go for the 9780 for better keyboard space.

[EuropeReleases]

i have a torch, and i love it! the commenters that destroy him are idiots cause its AMAZING!

[kyledominy123]

alright i got the iphone 3gs in january and im not very happy with it because of not having a full physical keyboard and its gotten worse since i got it so is there like any way for me to go to an AT&T store and getting the blackberry torch for the 2 year contract price because this phone is $400 without it?

[Pedrolx2]

good phone but bad resolution and few apps.. : (

[roadsterX]

how is the touch ?

[kaalyes10]

This would be the perfect phone for me if I wasn't so hooked on Android phones

[pattycarljackson]

@kaalyes10 thats how blackberry users are.

[reallytb]

Is the Torch a better pick over the Bold 9780?

[MrRasco97]

@reallytb depends how much u wana pay just for a touch screen

[reallytb]

@MrRasco97 I went with the Bold 9780, love it!!!

[kamakazee2bird]

dude you should get a new camera...just sayin

[Bacon676]

Just a better blackberry. Still a black berry though, still old.

In essence, it's just the same old stuff on a new plate.

[pattycarljackson]

@Bacon676 you gotta look at it different or from a bb users prospective. iphone is nice only thing good about it is has a good browser thats it and camera. you cant compare bb and iphone to android phones. plus blackberry is made just perfect for the way it is supposed to be used. iphone n bb dont have all that stupid widget crap so threy are way different and not compariable. just browsers and cameras and talking and keyboard can be compared. bb wins for the hard keyboard any day

[Bacon676]

E@pattycarljackson Negative good sir.

If you're saying blackberry is the best simply because its extremely cut, dry, and simple, then yes. I have to agree. It's all that and more.

However, nobody highlights android for being able to use Widgets. I personally don't care much about them. However: with the exception of bbm, android has FAR more core functionality over bb, just as the iPhone does.

[pattycarljackson]

@Bacon676 i will give you that some people like the widgets but i have had android phones and i never used them i hated the email and keyboard just wasnt for me and i hated the icons and how they were all set up and there was to much social networking stuff i dont like that

[hy3unit]

I have an iphone 3gs. i fcking love it. the web is so good. apps are really fun. nice big screen. ( im not insulting the 9800) but i really want to know how the torch compares to the iphone?

[AllAboutBlackberry]

damnit i want one soooooooo bad.

[JayWesty111]

Skip to 0:37 for what you really want to see

[xJohnny74x]

I have a question, If you change the font does it also change the font on facebook? I want facebook to be more zoomed out so I can seee more than 1 status at a time.

[LumoLimeJake]

Good review:)

think i'm going to wait for the Torch 2, does anyone know when it's getting released?

:D :D

[ZzLegendaryzZ]

got mine today!!! =)

i reely regret buying it...

[uptash]

4:03 lets be honest because u have NO FRIENDS bcuz ur a BORE!!!

[ngandy35]

Love this phone!! Got it the first day it was released last year..worked great!!

[SlayAndPlay]

Should I get this? Or wait till Torch 2 in the summer?

[gunzspecter97]

@SlayAndPlay I say u wait for the torch two because it has

better specs. Thats my point of view.

[LumoLimeJake]

@SlayAndPlay do you know which month and year the new torch is coming out? :)

[SlayAndPlay]

@LumoLimeJake well I heard this year in summer...around June Or July

[LumoLimeJake]

@SlayAndPlay thank you

[SlayAndPlay]

@LumoLimeJake no problem :)

[ilovemusic7777777]

does the physical QWERTY keyboard get annoying? are the keys too small?

[igm293]

hey is this phone good? and can you download free apps???

[JCjuancho92]

@igm293 its good, and yes

[PochwalaNaiwnosci]

i want to buy this phone, im really tempted, i currently have bb 8250. not sure if torch is worth the money though? apparently the battery aint good

[silverstein23429]

@PochwalaNaiwnosci The battery is fine.

[scouseno1]

Can you do a Blackberry Torch 9800 vs Blackberry Bold 9780 please !. I am torn between witch one to take what is the best ??

[TheTechLand]

@scouseno1 Get the Torch, much more convenient and user-friendly.

[YoDaddy513]

should i get this or the bold 9700?

[8lovelovelove9]

Iphone is sooooooo old ill rather get and ipod touch and buy a blackberry or androin

[onetouchx]

I have an iPhone 3G. It's time for an upgrade. I was about to get the iPhone 4 but I think I'm getting this and an iTouch :)

[iwantsquareballoons]

why people hate iphone so much? just because majority uses iphone so for you to be "cool" and "unique" you must hate it? pretentious much?

[GanjaToker19]

@iwantsquareballoons rather its somewhat the opposite. people with iphones think they're "cool" and "unique" cause the "iphone is the best!" ...bullshit. its an ipod touch with a calling feature. it would make me not want my ipod anymore cause you can put music on your phone. so then i just wasted good money on my ipod touch. people think that the iphone is so superior to all other phones when its not.

[Edcookie155]

@GanjaToker19 shut up



[vDroiiDz]

this or android? (the backflip i mean )

[vDroiiDz]

this or android? (the backside)

[knuckles1917]

The iphone is wayyyy over rated!

[knuckles1917]

I hate him....

[wonkieboy]

I have it long waited for this toy guys

Fantastic phone really marvelous to use(if you are use to bb phone ofcourse)

greetings from belgium

[aeagle2013]

would you get this over the iphone 4. i have the 4 and i am really tired of it. i have had many problems with it. im just trying to find a different phone that is comparable. and i do not want an android phone>

[OH25EXY]

cant wait till i get mine in 2-3 hours !!

[pOtahEkiLLer]

hi PHONEDOG how to put a photo in bb torch from computer?

[31jboy41]

@2:40 its 2:40 haha kinda ironic

[edenmarubeller]

wow, this phone is amazing, ussually i dont really care for the blackberry os and I turned my head more towards palm anyday. but this phone, now that Ive seen it make me kida want it a little bit... :0

[itsmeshawman]

I'm Switching over from iPhone..... until June 2011.

[julietime3]

i wanna get this for christmas.i had a touch screen fone,untill my cat pushed it water now i have a easy fone with no qwerty board.my mom had a blackberry.there really cool

[silverstein23429]

Got mine today :) love way more then i did my iphone.

[MinistryofGaming]

@silverstein23429 Would u recommend this over a 3GS? I have a 3GS and I'm thinking of changing to this. Worthy upgrade?

[silverstein23429]

@MinistryofGaming i only had a 3G and mine was starting to run a little slow and i wasnt into the apps really except for facebook. and i just want a keyboard instead of full touch screen. it really is about personal preference probably. Try looking up a 3GS vs. Torch review. Might help a little bit.

[Bangthang879]

@silverstein23429 has so much more features that iphone :)

[Robbyc65]

@silverstein23429 lucky you i gotta wait till feburary

[luis61961944]

@silverstein23429 how the keybord? i have a bold and i love the keybord is this one good?

[silverstein23429]

@luis61961944 yeah this keyboard is pretty good. It's just small. So at first you might hit buttons when you dont mean to, but still great once you get used to it.

[ccadivadancer]

Im getting this phone for christmas! I love it! I have a Itouch and typing on the screen wasnt hard! I love this phone i thought it was easy to use!

[jordantp1996]

When you touch the screen is there heptic feedback? (did I spell heptic right lol?)

[kingweazy]

EWW volume rocker on the right side?

[MegaGtfo]

im wondering where all these comments bitching about the iphone and android came from

[corn12409]

@MegaGtfo it came from, I guess everyone being on the iphone and android dick, and them not giving any props to the new Blackberry devices.

[XxHardcorexxGamerxX]

Whats with the video quality? Its 2010!! Time for 720p at least???

Nice review BTW

[spikeman23]

@itsmetalman Did droid copy the iphone much? Seriously. All the supposed iphone "killers" copy the iphone in some way, shape, or form. If the iphone sucked as much as some of you people say it does there would be no need yto try and top it.

[RandomMoments97]

we shuld give aaron a chance!!!

[lewiiswiilko]

i really really doubt that the phone unlocked itself opened text messages chose a contact and typed some random crap and then sent it all in your pocket :L

[ardnek2224]

I <3 BLACKBERRY TORCH!

[iJulio100]

07:45 hahaahahaha

[nizziezzar]

i just dont know why but i dont really like the new 'trackpad' on newer blackberry devices.. it's kinda hard to control.. it's also a little bit harder to use when the phone is kinda dirty or oily.. i still prefer the trackball

[mylesp]

can you send files like songs through bluetooth with the torch?

[ipodtouchnumeronefan]

aaron u seem pretty cool and make good reviews but i like noah better



[Kiera283]

How much the blackberry torch cost??

[HannahGrace1998]

@Kiera283 200 originaly you can buy it like 900 and stupid stuff on ebay :\ idiots lmao

[smithlovesps3]

Great review, but your camera was really bad in this video, on your other reviews your camera is great

[Torontonian91]

Did this guy eat Noah?

[pat6290]

The on screen keyboard is set up to replicate the typical BB keyboard. If you compare it to the physical keyboard on the torch they are the same, that is why the numbers are in a number pad

[TheAaronb32]

noah is better

[yumyaw]

android keys are smaller as well. i don't like android. i like a business phone with a lil fun. blackberry just come to sprint with a 4g one please.

[ithree6mafia]

@itsmetalman wow what a homo. bringing up pussy cuz u cant get none

[ithree6mafia]

@itsmetalman there you go again. shut the fuck up already.

[ithree6mafia]

@itsmetalman why are u still arguing, you dumbass. no one cares

[genestarwindjf80]

FUCK AT&T to support BlackBerry and windows. They can't get any good or more decent Android phones. ANDROID IS BETTER.

[genestarwindjf80]

FC AT&T to support BlackBerry and windows. They can't get any good or more decent Android phones. ANDROID IS BETTER.

[spikeman23]

@genestarwindjf80 Android is not better.

[nyle123nyle]

how is it monthly att&t

[theJORDANryan]

i have this phone and an Iphone 4 and they Both are amazing phones in their own ways!!

[shdxc]

I prefer palm pre look, for some reason...what do u guys think?

[cj13211]

@shdxc i like them both

[ithree6mafia]

i like the 9000 better

[ithree6mafia]

@itsmetalman i hate when people use"much" in sentences like the one u just used its really annoying, and improper. your obviously still in high school

[KGArtist]

@ithree6mafia or he/she just doesn't give a damn lol ;)

[ralph3nuis]

@ithree6mafia "your oviously still in high school". You're. "its". It's. "u". You.

[AquaDiscoMan]

@ralph3nuis grammar win.

[fahimDream23]

im gonna go from my ihpone 3gs to this then wait for the iphone 5

[bowflex1990]

im not tryin to hate but noah the king of this phonedog man. where he at bruh?

[itsazharwtf]

uhm I don't know. this just looks, ugly.

[joshyfactorz]

noah

[joshyfactorz]

where is noah

[hapigal101]

I don't really get what the fuss is about Noah being the reviewer. Aaron's just doing his job, and he is definitely doing it very well. I mean I like Noah, but at least we have someone to review this phone. Anyway, awesome job, Aaron:) Keep it up!!!

[101airborn1]

i just wish you would cut your balls off

[rig48]

where the hell is noah!!! wtf....

[yumyaw]

the keyboard on the android phones irritate me more than anything. Iphone does have the best onscreen keyboard.

[jkjacks09]

the keyboard is NOT raised i have played with this phone

[ian48065]

@jkjacks09 its clearly raised, he even showed it

[jkjacks09]

@ian48065 ik wht he showed but ihave SEEN AND PLATED WITH this phone live

[WackyMacz]

@jkjacks09 LOL, you sound like you and the torch had a masturbating party ! :D

[1sunny]

We want Noah! We want Noah! We want Noah!!!

[IntegGSRR]

Why the fuck do people argue about the operating system on a cell phone? It's really kind of stupid to argue about something that doesn't really matter, kthxbai

[doublesizzle]

lol @ people like mjr18793 stop dick riding they are just review people

[iamvancelg]

It's to hard Blackberry Bold 9700 or Samsung Vibrant?

[Durandahl]

@iamvancelg samsung vibrant, galaxy S system is amazing

[snarefreak07]

for those who have this phone...any problems?

[zionsoldier365]

wheres noah



[parker0pack]

#TEAMBLACKBERRY I hope sprint gets this by December

[twssfilms007]

Blackberry SEX!

[McSwanee123]

MicroSim?

[cj13211]

will the rackpad work when its closed

[SmexyWells]

The OS looks ok, but the phone itself looks kinda boring

[33lorenzo]

Looks like that phone is 2 years old

[ladydeathdp]

I want NOAH. Not this typical nerd. 

[pjdarmis]

it's over for blackberry

[itsjustsexxx]

is the screen glass or plastic?

[possomcrast]

i love the palm pre and reccomend people buy that instead that is if theyre still for sale

[cy2b]

Android > iPhone > BlackBerry > Windows Mobile > Symbian

[oneonta310]

@cy2b haha you wish

[Ben9096]

Most of those menu features seem very similar to android.... Any reason crack berry?

[lilrockstar77]

shit sucks... I'm sorry. RIM ya blew it

[angelusp777]

Its either WP7 or Iphone every other thing sucks.

[TheSmartdude11]

im iphone switcher bb is awesome
