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.

We were impressed that RIM's BlackBerry Pearl 3G 9100 offers the same capabilities and functions found on more expensive BlackBerry smartphones. The trade off comes in the form of a smaller, pocketable form factor, resulting in a cramped keyboard, small display and flimsy build quality.
