I have had my blackberry torch for just over a year now. I like the phone however it does have some flaws such as the paint on around the screen has quite severly chipped off as well as this the phone also lag's on occassion. One of the features that appeals to me most about this phone is the large touch screen making it easy to navigate through web pages. The battery life on the phone is average however if you are using the phone all day the battery wont last 8 hours. The phones camera at 5 megapixel's takes some fantastic photos, The flash also allows you to use the camera in the dark aswell as using the phone as a torch if you download one of the free apps avalable. Another feature i like about the phone is the 8gb of built in storage aswell as the micro sd card slot located under the battery. The phone itself is quite robust. I know this from always dropping it and it never cracking the screen. I would recommend the phone as it has proved to be very reliable and user friendly.
