BlackBerry Torch scrutinized: a roundup of the first impressions

What was known as the BlackBerry Bold 9800 is now officially the BlackBerry Torch, a QWERTY-slider phone that’s powered by a 624MHz Marvell processor, and runs on BlackBerry 6 OS.

Some blogs in the United States have already got their hands on the device, which was exclusively launched on AT&T, and all of them have a lot to say about how the phone feels and functions. This is a roundup of some of the most insightful impressions.

Like all BlackBerry phones, the Torch’s QWERTY keypad is supposedly flawless, with great tactile feedback and perfect spacing/layout. The slider is solid, and the phone built sturdily all round.

The screen is not very large when compared with other modern smartphones, and has a comparatively low resolution of 480x360. The capacitive touchscreen was thought to be responsive though, with great multi-touch gesture controls.

As for the interface, the phone was apparently well-integrated with social networks and instant messaging, giving users aggregated feeds in a unified inbox.
