BlackBerry Torch 9860 Tariffs & Deals

"The most significant difference with the Torch 9860, compared with either of the BlackBerry Storms, and more significant even than the shift in touchscreen tech, is the hugely improved processor." 7.6/10

"Battery life of the BlackBerry Torch 9860 is better than similarly specced Android phones in terms of longevity." 3.5/5 stars

"Those bemoaning the removal of all those lovely physical buttons may be placated slightly by the fact that the Torch 9860's 3.7-inch capacitive touchscreen is a real beauty. It uses TFT technology, rather that the all-singing, all-dancing Super AMOLED Plus tech seen on the Samsung Galaxy S2, but the image is bright and the colours bold." 3.5/5 stars

"The 5-megapixel camera on the rear of the device is supported by an LED flash, suffering from the usual shortcomings you'd expect from a phone. Low light shots aren't great, but in good light, the Torch 9860 will give you reasonable results. Being an autofocus camera, you'll get nice sharp images." 3.5/5 stars

"The BlackBerry Torch 9860 is a well designed, well constructed and well specced-up touchscreen smartphone. Its keyboard is our main pain point — and given that it’s a BlackBerry, made for heavy typists, we advise you to cautiously try before you buy." 3.3/5 stars

"The BlackBerry OS interface is generally brighter and clearer than it ever was. Although it possibly isn't the most simple or intuitive around, we think most people would learn their way around the buttons before long." 3/5 stars
