Top Blackberry smartphones

BlackBerry smartphones, manufactured by Canadian company Research in Motion (RIM) have a rich history in delivering excellent e-mail capabilities. Previously considered purely business or corporate devices, the latest range of Blackberry smartphones attempt to appeal to regular consumers, headed by the flagship BlackBerry Torch 9800, which combines a full QWERTY keyboard with a touch screen.

The BlackBerry Torch 9800 might be the best BlackBerry ever, but we think at its core it is generally the same as most other BlackBerrys. It possesses an excellent keyboard and great e-mail capabilities, but boasts nothing really new or innovative. The Torch offers little incentive to switch from the iPhone or an Android smartphone, but BlackBerry users will probably find it a compelling upgrade.
