Design

Torch 9810 can be said a replica of Torch 9800 which was released last year. With the same hardware design the Blackberry Torch 9810 doesn’t seem to be an upgraded phone physically. Though you will find some cosmetic changes all around. On the front, you may observe the Call & End key is now completely white as seen on Bold 9900 replacing green & red of earlier. Unfortunately this model of BlackBerry 7 smartphones doesn’t sport the stylish light enabled trackpad found on all new BlackBerrys. The chrome surrounding is also replaced with rough-polish safe guarding scratches.
