I got this phone for work and they lock down the ability to download apps, but the basic functions work well (e.g. email, internet, maps, etc.). One issue I have noticed is that the BlackBerry Maps program sometimes has a hard time telling directions because it can't tell exactly where you are at (i.e. sometimes it thinks that you are on nearby roads, or can only pinpoint your location to 'within 1.7 miles').

I had this phone for only a few months when it crashed. I ended up wiping it and putting a new operating system on it and I got it working again, but it was annoying that it crashed within a short time of having it. I had issues for the rest of the time I had the phone. As for actual use, I really didn't like the blackberry market, I really think android has much better options for apps. I do like the phones layout and look but it didn't have as nice of a screen as my nexus and it was more expensive. For the same price as this phone, I can get a much better android phone. It doesn't take as good of pictures, and it doesn't have as nice or as large of a screen.

I purchased the blackberry torch because I have always had blackberry cell phones. I have had nothing but trouble with this phone. I have previously had three other blackberry cell phones and those were great. This one really has a lot of problems with it. I have had to get three replacement phones and still there are still issues with it. For some reason i have the same problems with it. The BlackBerry cell phone with just shut off and turn back on when it wants to. Sometimes when i make an out going call the person on the other end cannot hear me and I have to take the battery out and put it back in. When my contract is up this summer with my cell phone carrier I am not going to get another Blackberry. I am really disappointed that Blackberry has not figured out how to fix the numerous issues with the phone.

I can't live without my Blackberry Torch. It has the best of both worlds- a touch screen and a Qwerty keyboard for those moments where typing very quickly is a must! Blackberry keeps me organized and connected! Display/Screen Quality Very clear screen quality. Great response time on touch screen. Durability I've had my Torch almost 2 year and it has been dropped plenty of times by my son. It is a great phone!
