BlackBerry® Torch 9800 Smartphone (Unlocked, QWERTY)

Unlocked (what's this?)

What is an "Unlocked" phone?

Many cell phones are designed to use a Subscriber Identity Module (SIM) card to store subscriber data. These SIM cards are issued by the carrier and provide cell service to the phone. "Locked" cell phones will only recognize SIM cards from the carrier that originally provided the phone. Almost every cell phone provided by a US carrier is locked to that carrier’s network.

"Unlocked" cell phones will recognize SIM cards from any carrier using Global System Mobile Communications (GSM) technology. Customers with "unlocked" cell phones are able to use any GSM carrier of their choosing, including "pre-pay" or "no contract" SIM card options. "Unlocked" cell phones also accept international SIM cards that provide discounted rates while traveling abroad.

BlackBerry® Torch 9800 Smartphone Features

More of everything you love, connect to the things and the people that matter with the BlackBerry Torch. The large 3.2" touch sensitive display is great for viewing the internet, your movies or just checking up on your favourite social network. Paired with the legendary BlackBerry keyboard means you can up date your status, send a message or type that email just as easily as you'd expect with BlackBerry. The integrated social feeds brings all your social networks together, from Facebook to Twitter, see it all together and stay on top of everything.

For:

  • Great touch screen experience
  • The best BlackBerry Web browser yet
  • Great keyboard for typing messages

Against:

  • Only 4GB of on board memory
  • BlackBerry App World doesn't match other app stores

What we say:

“ The BlackBerry Torch finally brings RIM up to date with the competition. Its everything you love about BlackBerry's, but now with all the bits that were missing before. The large touch screen and the new Web Kit based browser makes surfing the internet a dream rather then a chore, the touch screen is now finger based and wipes memories of the horrible SurePress displays away. Its the BlackBerry everyone wished RIM would make, fast, powerful with all the modern smartphone features , but with the added BlackBerry magic of long battery life, bullet proof email, sublime keyboard and all the other BlackBerry functions users love. ”

marvel from RIM

Such a great phone. Owned many BBs but this one is easily the best BB ever. 1 of the best smartphones out there. It's elegant and feels just right in your palm. Mails, messages, Social networking, Phone and back up, it's all there. Happy to own 1. Great work, RIM.

BlackBerry Torch

Magnífico teléfono. Une las prestaciones de la pantalla táctil y el teclado QWERTY. Y esto junto al nuevo sistema operativo, lo ponen bastante por delante de sus competidores.
