Blackberry Torch 9860 Review - Jamaica

Tuesday, March 20, 2012  ,  

Ok so Jamaica is Blackberry land, we all know that, and one of the things we love about Blackberrys is the fact that they have actual keypads. So whenever people would show off their iPhones and their Android phones I was never really interested. Untill now!

While attending Slashroots, Ingrid Riley of SiliconCaribe fame sat beside me with a brand new Blackberry 9860. I couldn't help but ask for a borrows. Immediately I fell in love.

  1. Design -Front to back the phone really really looks good. Well sculpted and fits so nice in your hand.
  2. Processor - 1.2g processor
  3. RAM - 768 bits
  4. Memory - 4gig of embedded memory, expandable to 32gig with an SD card
  5. Screen - now has liquid graphics which means very sleek drag and scroll just like an iPhone.
  6. Browser -Fast and sleek. Pinch to zoom. Double tap to zoom.
  7. Keyboard - digital but you don't miss the keys at all
For people who love Blackberry, as all of us do in Jamaica, the 9860 Torch is something that we really have never seen before. All that power and memory means that everything operates in a snap. Moving quickly in and out of emails, apps, etc. No more of that annoying minute hand going around and around on your screen while the phone struggles to keep up with your actions. I would buy the 9860 just for that reason alone!

Long story short, the Blackberry Torch 9860 is a really good phone. I thought I was going to miss the actually keypad, but funny enough I didn't. The digital keypad worked very well and everything on the phone worked fast. I need this phone. If you need one too, feel free to see if any are for sale on JamDeal.
