Reviewers Didn't Like

  • Platform still feels dated, Subpar photo & video capture, Shrill sounding voices with phone calls
  • The Torch 9850 suffers from the occasional sluggishness, and there are times when the touch screen isn't as responsive as we would like
  • Buggy software, clunky OS, lackluster battery life
  • Touch keyboard can be difficult to use, Few apps, No 4G
  • BlackBerry OS 7 hasn't evolved much from aging OS 6. App World selection still slim
  • Mediocre onscreen keyboard, BlackBerry 7 already feels dated, Somewhat limited app selection
  • Call quality, speakerphone, and general performance on the BlackBerry Torch 9850 hit some snags
