The biggest characteristic of Torch is to use the latest BlackBerry 6 operating system and the Torch issued at the same time, it is compared with the old system, added many features, including the design of interface, integration BBM, Facebook, Twitter, MySpace and other social network function and other instant messaging services.

The new OS brings some much-needed and welcome additions, including a better browser, an enhanced multimedia experience, and improved user interface. Sure, in the grand scheme of things, none of this is new but at least it puts RIM back on track.
It's just unfortunate that RIM didn't upgrade other parts of the phone, such as the display and processor, as the Torch doesn't quite stack up to some of the latest smartphones.
Still, there's enough there to keep BlackBerry fans happy. It's the company's first slider phone and isn't meant to be a one-off design, but rather, the start of a new series. For the most part, we think RIM was successful in doing so. We wouldn't call it sexy but the look is certainly appropriate for the corporate scene, where BlackBerrys still dominate. In its closed state, the Torch measures 4.
It's a rather hefty handset, but it feels very solid, with a textured soft-touch finish on back. It's also thin and short enough to comfortably slip into a pant pocket. On front, the Torch features a 3. Overall, the display is clear and bright enough for reading text and viewing Web pages, photos, and video.
However, compared with many of today's smartphones, such as the HTC Droid Incredible and Samsung Captivate, the difference in resolution is noticeable and Torch's screen falls a bit flat. What's noteworthy about the touch screen, however, is that it doesn't use SurePress technology like the BlackBerry Storm models, so you don't have to 'click' on the display to register touches. Funnily enough, though, when we first started using the Torch, our instinct was to press down on the screen like it was the Storm, so we had to get out of that mindset.
For the most part, the touch screen is responsive. Apps launched as soon as we touched the icons, but the scrolling experience, as well as the pinch-to-zoom gesture, isn't quite as smooth or fast as some other systems. The display has a proximity sensor, so you won't have to worry about an errant press while on a phone call, and the built-in accelerometer was quick to change the screen orientation when we rotated the phone.
The Torch offers both portrait and landscape onscreen keyboards, which is suitable if you're writing a quick text message. However, if you're doing any more than that, it'd be a good time to slide the phone open and make good use of the full QWERTY keyboard.
The slider mechanism to expose the keyboard is smooth, and the screen locks into place securely. There's a pretty good distribution of weight when the phone is open, so it doesn't feel too top heavy when you're typing out messages. The Torch's keyboard is actually the thinnest one on a BlackBerry yet. As such, the buttons don't feel quite as good as the Bold, but the keys are still solid and a decent size.
We also appreciate that there's a good amount of space between the top row of keys and the bottom edge of the screen, to prevent your thumbs from mashing up against the edge. Overall, the Torch provided a comfortable typing experience, though people with larger thumbs might need some time to acclimate.
Still, it's certainly a roomier solution than the Palm Pre Plus, and came in quite handy for composing e-mails. Below the display, you'll find some of the familiar BlackBerry parts, such as the standard navigation controls--Talk and End keys, BlackBerry menu button, back, and an optical trackpad below the display, and the lock and a mute buttons on top of the device.
As with other BlackBerry devices, holding down the menu key will bring up a task switcher so you can easily toggle to a recently used app. The right spine features a 3. There's a Micro-USB port on the left, and the camera and flash are located on back with the microSD card slot behind the battery door.

There's a good bit of the familiar but a greater amount that's new, so this is definitely a major overhaul of the platform and not just a few added features. Right off the bat, you'll notice a new home screen.
On top, there's a Quick Access area where you can see the date, time, signal strength, battery life, and where you can manage your wireless connections. Below that is a new notification bar that includes one-touch access to change your phone's profile and to conduct searches. It will also alert you to new messages, missed calls, upcoming appointments, and so forth.
Tapping on the bar will expand the tray so you can view more details and go directly to the appropriate app. Most of the action, however, takes place at the bottom of the screen, where you'll find a new navigation bar. It makes good use of the touch screen, as you can swipe from left to right and vice versa to access apps and content based on five categories: All, Favorites, Media, Downloads, and Frequent.
In addition to swiping sideways, you can tap on a category to expand it and see the full list of associated apps. The categories themselves are fairly self-explanatory, but we should note that Favorites isn't restricted to apps.
You can also add contacts and Web sites by going to an individual address book entry or Web site, pressing the menu key, and then selecting Add to Home Screen and selecting Mark as Favorite should be checked off by default.
