If you want a business phone get a BB if you want a gadget get an iPhone. RIM doesn't waste it's time with gimmicks and quirky bits and pieces. it is just a full blown, full on real business phone.

RIM - you need to fix the following points to make a great business phone
1) Change the slider direction to side as this makes the phone huge
2) S AMOLED Required
3) Dual SIM required
4) Touch , QWERTY + Stylus input required
5) Front facing camera required
6) xEON fLASH

* The hardware (casing, build quality, feel) is typical RIM — it’s great. Very solid, actually a bit heavy, but a very good feel. The sliding mechanism is top notch.
* The software is typical RIM — uninspired, old, clunky sometimes, and cluttered. Even with the new UI elements in OS 6, we experienced choppiness in the web browser, hangs navigating between screens, and a general feeling of well… claustrophobia on occasion. The simplified BlackBerry now sort of feels like too much has been added without thinking of the ramifications.
* The keyboard is perfect — just like a Bold 9700, and it seems to not be dug in the slider mechanism, unlike the Palm Pre.
* The internals of the BlackBerry Torch 9800 are disappointing. From the 624MHz CPU to only 512MB of RAM, to (sorry, confused RAM with built-in storage) the 1300mAh battery, it has us a little worried as it feels like the hardware is pushed to the max. On a brand new phone. That’s not even out yet.
* The screen is laughable. For a company that is always “planning three years out” they surely didn’t get the memo that a 480×360, poor, poor LCD wasn’t going to cut it in 2010. That’s the focal point of the entire device, and it makes you feel outdated out of the gate.
All in all, we came away with mixed emotions. On one hand, OS 6 is a much better UI leap from OS 5 than OS 5 was to OS 4, but it still feels a bit not thought out. On the other hand, the device seems like it will continue to excel at specific functions, mainly email, any sort of text-based messaging, etc. My personal thought so far is: this is a stop gap device for current BlackBerry users… and that’s an issue. iPhone 4 or recent Android owners won’t be lusting after the 9800, and that’s never a good thing.

Regarding the design, I feel sharper edges would have looked better. And I'd prefer the back to be like that found in the 9700.

dude, 03 Aug 2010you know, just because you don't like blackberry doesn't mean everyone doesn't like blackberry... moreI strongly agree with you.I think BB design is awesome.It does look more like a cellphone than any other and they look elegant too.I think BB should also capitalize on this and make more elegant models plus their new OS.

I presume it is capacitive touch screen. What i think going to be a deterrent in this ANDROID and BADA era is its price. BB is known for premium pricing and if this is the case here it would not work because if galaxy s can give you 4 inch screen with better features for 28000/- who would go for BB at same or higher price point.
