The recently released Blackberry Torch fuels desire and set hearts ablaze. The ergonomics of the phone are sufficient to stir the hearts of professionals and executives. You'll feel this silent appeal that induces a temptation for a closer look.

The Blackberry Torch carries the distinctive trademark of Blackberry mobile phones through its dashing black color. However, a combination of the elegant curved edges and the white and dark orange colors results in a modern look that will easily capture the attention of the younger professionals and teenagers. The Torch is a similar size to the Blackberry Bold 9700. Although there is a thickness difference of 2.5mm, you'll benefit from a full-sized touchscreen in addition to a slide out keyboard.

The Blackberry Torch features a full-sized 3.2 inch capacitive touchscreen with 16M colors. Although the resolution of 360 x 480 pixels is not as appealing as the other high-end smartphones, it works fine with the mainstream users who are non-movie fanatics. To be fair, the full-sized touchscreen and physical keyboard combination carries a huge advantage over majority of Blackberry smartphones. The full screen web browsing experience and "Pinch and zoom" capability will drive most Blackberry fans crazy.

In the eyes of the Blackberry Torch, one plus one gives you three. RIM has retained the greatest properties of their Blackberry smartphones while introducing a new key advantage. The retained properties include the reputable Blackberry QWERTY physical keyboard and the optical trackpad. The keyboard performs up to largely foreseen high standards, hence effectively reducing the hassle required to send emails and modify office documents. Give the display a light push and the physical keyboard snaps right into place.

The Blackberry Torch comes along with GPS, 3G (HSDPA and HSUPA), Bluetooth, Wi-Fi and a 5 MP camera. It is a surprise that great emphasis was placed on the Torch's camera. It allows video recording (640 x 480), continuous autofocus, LED flash, image stabilization and 11 camera modes. The only missing capability is HD video recording. The phone also includes 4GB of internal memory and supports up to 32GB of maximum capacity (256MB on the BB9700). As for the battery life, you'll get 5 hours and 40 minutes of talktime and 30 hours of music.

One of the most significant differences in the Blackberry Torch is the Blackberry 6 operating system. RIM has done extensive research for the new OS and most people will agree that they've done an excellent job this time around. The new OS features new customizable navigations, social network integration and search capabilities. One of the most welcomed features of the Blackberry 6 OS is the new web browser based on the webkit framework. It quickly renders HTML websites accurately and allows tabbed browsing. As for social networking fans, you'll be able to view all your Twitter, Facebook, RSS feeds and instant messages in a new application called Social Feeds.

Of all the new features in the Blackberry 6 OS, the universal search function is remarkably clever. This function increases productivity greatly by reducing time wasted on manual searching. All you have to do is to key in your text in the search box and the smartphone will automatically locate a related file, application, contact, message or email.

With the massive amount of improved features and capabilities built into the Blackberry torch, it is tough to say no to this beauty. The Blackberry 6 OS and improved multimedia experiences bring Blackberry smartphones to the next level. If you are considering the Blackberry Torch, this review should help you make the decision.
