Exclusive: BlackBerry Torch 2 gets detailed

how about battery life ? that’s the worst thing in Torch1.

Well speaking from someone who uses both the iPhone and the Blackberry Bold 9700, all I have to say is.. guys stop beating the dead horse! It all comes down to personal preferences and needs for each individual user, and that’s a reason why I took the trouble to carry both phones.

If you’re a business oriented person, I have to say Blackberry is the way to go due to their data management efficiency by having the ability to use much lesser data (1/3 of the iPhone uses) to get the job done, that’s why the network providers love them, especially those overseas where mobile data infrastructures are not as well established as in the US. I have to give Blackberry two thumbs up for their real time push email and BBM service. The BBM service is the sole reason why I keep my blackberry to stay in contact with my families and friends back home. Other than that, blackberry is a business oriented device where RIM will not put much emphasis on things like HD display, FaceTime capability, Gyro+Accelerometer, wonderful apps etc2 all the fun stuffs, as they regard those as secondary. The one major complain I have with all my past blackberry devices are the web browser, seriously they are simply a joke (that’s why don’t be cheap! I know it’s about efficiency, but when it took ages for the browser to load that’s not efficiency my friend), and I’m referring to the pre-WebKit browser. The OS6 is a much better OS actually I have to say. So for those who haven’t update them please do so. RIM is marching on with the newly introduced Liquid Display, 1.2GHz processor, faster web browser through WebKit etc2 on the upcoming Blackberry Bold 9900 (Q2). It’s true that RIM is the current leaders in terms of smartphone market share, but that won’t be for long as iPhone and Android have been taking over while RIM has been losing market share for the past quarters. Maybe RIM finally realized the need for them to reach out to different demographics by offering more non-business oriented devices to cater to bigger markets?

If you’re a tech-savvy person who need to get hold of the latest technology, iPhone is the way to go, well I heard all the good stuffs about Android devices but I can’t speak for them as I never use or own any android. If you are not required to hook on to your corporate server, checking email by the minutes and seconds, being cheap on your data plans, and most importantly having lots of friends using the BBM service, I would say iPhone is the way to go. Personally I type faster with the touch keypad compared to the physical keypad offered in the Blackberry, but that’s just me. The international languages input came with the iPhone installed as well. So for someone like me who needs to type Chinese and Japanese, it’s a great deal of convenience compared to the Bold 9700 where I have to do a wipe and installed a foreign-based OS (Vodafone, HK CSL, etc., AT&T OS does not support those languages). On top of all that user-friendly approach, I can’t say enough about the iPhone’s Apps. Well I have to say that although there tons of them that are pretty redundant and not installed worthy, I have to give credits to those who have made my life so much easier. For fair comparison, try using the same App from a blackberry and iPhone and compare them. Same App, different quality (maybe that’s why iPhone sucked up 3 times more data than Blackberry does, but again who wants a crappy second-tier App on their phones?)

Again the argument never ends folks, just pick the one that fits your needs the most and don’t need to bash up each other like that. Discussion is always better than arguments :p

Sorry for being rather long-winded. Hope this response could be useful to someone who is deciding on whether to get a Blackberry or the iPhone.

did they change the touch feature to be like the iphone ? :S
all the future mobiles will be like the iphone and htc
why the hell black berry cant understand that yet ?????

This still is barely faster than the Desire HD, has less ram, smaller screen, and (oh, yeah) a fraction of the apps in the disgrace of an app world.

SUCKS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
