BLACKBERRY TORCH 9810 SPECS FULL

Had they done that, however, the Torch 9810 wouldnвЂ™t look like the design of any other BlackBerry, which would have likely upset long-time users.ДЄnother thing RIM got right with the 9810 is the multi-touch display. Part of us wishes RIM had opted for a landscape slider, rather than a vertical slide design, just to give a bit more room for the olвЂ™ fingers. Even for those of us accustomed to the touchscreen of the iPhone, we were typing at almost-normal speed in no time.

All the buttons are responsive and well-placed, and back-lighting makes typing in the dark an easy task. RIM has done an excellent job of making the 9810вЂ™s keyboard functional, despite its relatively small size, by adding strategically placed indentations into each button. And, as with the plastic casing, the addition of moving parts makes the 9810 feel slightly less sturdy than devices without that feature. Unfortunately, one of the first things we noticed about the 9810 was how top-heavy the phone feels when using the physical keyboard. The screen snaps into place, both up and down, with satisfying finality.

Of course, the most notable design feature of the 9810 is the sliding screen, which reveals a full QWERTY keyboard when pushed upwards.

Anyone whoвЂ™s familiar with other BlackBerry models will pick up on the other button functionality instantly. The lock and mute buttons are easy to access and intuitively placed, as are the volume buttons and a shortcut button that also acts as a shutter button for the camera. When listed like that, it sounds like a veritable smorgasbord of buttons, but RIM has done a great job making the buttons appear unobtrusive in terms of total design. On the front, directly below the touchscreen, are the menu, back, power buttons and an optical trackpad. In terms of buttons and ports, youвЂ™ve got the usual micro USB port on the left side lock and mute buttons on top 3.5mm headphone port, volume buttons and camera button on the right side. The primary difference to the overall look is the removable back plate, which used to be black, but is now a polished metal (weвЂ™re guessing aluminum) with a grip-friendly checkerboard design pressed in. Seeing as we have to send this device back to BlackBerry in good condition, we didnвЂ™t put it through the full drop test, but our instinct tells us users will need to err on the side of caution.ДЄs mentioned, RIM decided to change very little in terms of external design from the original Torch. (Official weight is 161g, more than most devices out there these days, like the 140-gram iPhone 4S.) At 0.57-inches thick, we could definitely tell when this sucker was in our pocket, though it didnвЂ™t feel much more cumbersome than the lighter and thinner iPhone 4S.Дespite the hefty feel, however, the (mostly) plastic casing likely wonвЂ™t withstand years of carelessness particularly well. That means those of you who are looking for the lightest device possible should go elsewhere. But thatвЂ™s not to say the device is entirely out of date.Д¬onstruction of the 9810 is solid, and the phone feels nice and heavy in the hand. Especially considering that the design of the 9810 is all but identical to last yearвЂ™s Torch 9800, which makes this phone quite literally a blast from the past. In an era when touchscreens over 4 inches are quickly becoming the norm, the 3.2-inch Torch 9810 slider looks almost prehistoric. But even at that low cost, is it worth it? Design and feel This includes вЂњ4GвЂќ HSPA+ connectivity, a 5-megapixel camera and BlackBerryвЂ™s updated OS 7 operating system вЂ“ all for just $50 with a two-year contract. Fitbit Versa 3ДЄrmed with both an improved multi-touch display and a slide-out QWERTY keyboard, the Torch 9810 builds on the design of the original Torch 9800 from 2010 with some much-needed upgrades in the hardware department.
