It's time to upgrade my phone and I like the idea of having a good email on the phone and a full keyboard! I like the size and shape of blackberry as well!

Do you think it's a good phone?

Any comments welcome!!!

Well, I like that sort of keyboard and it's pretty small I don't want 3-4" phone, it's more like a pocket pc then!

But things like a battery life, any bad experience with the blackberry? That is what I want to find out before I get it!

Yo dude, I have the blackberry 9700bold, its the same one before they made the torch, only difference in apperance is the torch slides open to get the keyboard. Dude I strongly reccomend a blackberry, everything is easy to use, email system is ace just like looking on your pc, I rarely use the pc to go here, and I'm on all day everyday. Txt messages, camera,layout, honestly dude my next phone will be a bb. Love em, and you get bbm which is a pretty smart messaging service for blackberry users. Mate has the torch and likes it. Yes its a wide phone, but it never feels wider than ur average phone, probs better cos the screesn wider. Never feels big. Blackberys.FTW:)

My girlfriend has just upgraded to the Torch, she likes it, but i prefer my iphone.
Apps are expensive, the keybord buttons are way too small, especially if you have big fingers, pretty easy to pick up, but it has like 3 message systems which I don't understand why. The camera is pretty good but not the best i've seen on a phone.
The battery life is ok, better than my iphone, but depends how much you use it and what you use it for. My girlfriend is always on facebook, messaging etc, and she charges it everynight.

I was also contemplating a torch at one stage, and I'm quite a fan of apple products, but just can't live with an iphone.

I played with my mates Blackberry torch, and thought it's quite smart, but whether I could live with the design, and touch screen would be another thing. I am a Nokia man so that says it all. When I asked him regarding battery, he said it's pretty good considering he's a heavy user - bbm messenge, facebook etc drain a lot of it..

Pop into a shop and decide for yourself. horses for courses and all.

my dads got the torch and it looks a good quality phone but it is quite chunky. cant be any worse than my iphone thats for sure. those things are flawed! if your worried about battery life and do a fair bit of driving you'll prob be able to get a in car charger for a couple of quid on amazon.
