RIM BlackBerry Torch 9850 review

The BlackBerry Torch 9850 is the latest all-touchscreen smartphone to come from RIM. Eschewing the Storm moniker, and its much-derided SurePress screen, the Torch 9850 is touchscreen slate smartphone in a much more traditional sense. It runs the latest BlackBerry 7 OS and is powered by the fastest chip that RIM has ever put in a smartphone. Is this enough to compete in today's market that is packed to the gills with high-end, all-touch smartphones? Has RIM finally figured out how make a all-touch phone that isn't maddening to use?

RIM has made quite a few leaps and bounds over its previous touch-only phones with the Torch 9850, but it hasn't quite made the jump into the competitive arena that the iPhone and the best Android smartphones play in. The Torch 9850 sports quality, if a bit ugly, hardware and components, but its dated, clunky user interface is what really holds it back from shining. Every time you use the Torch 9850, you are reminded that this is an ancient OS that has been shoe-horned onto a touchscreen smartphone. While not everything was bad, and I would take the Torch 9850 over anything bearing the Storm name in a heartbeat, with so many other choices on the market, I just can't recommend someone picking the Torch 9850.

This review was based upon a Sprint branded version of the Torch 9850, but the vast majority of the review is equally relevant to the Verizon Wireless edition, as well. Read on to see the ins and outs and why the Torch 9850 really just doesn't make the cut.

ricsson Xperia PLAY 4G hits AT&T on September 18 for $49.99

AT&T has announced that it will be carrying the Sony Ericsson Xperia PLAY beginning September 18. Known as the Xperia PLAY 4G when it hits AT&T, it is the same phone as released for Verizon Wireless earlier this year, though it features Sony Ericsson's custom interface on top of Android 2.3 Gingerbread, which was lacking from the Verizon Wireless model.

Specification-wise, the Xperia PLAY 4G is the same as before, as it has a 1GHz processor and Adreno 205 graphics chip. It sports a 4-inch, 480 x 854 pixel display, and it has a dedicated, slide-out gamepad. The 5 megapixel rear camera and VGA front camera are both present.

Sony Ericsson and AT&T are packing seven games with the Xperia PLAY 4G, including Dungeon Defenders Second Wave, Asphalt 6 Adrenaline, Star Battalion, Madden NFL 11, The Sims 3, Tower Bloxx: My City, and Crash Bandicoot. The Xperia PLAY 4G is the first PlayStation-certified handset available for AT&T, and with that certification comes access to 150 other games that are optimized for the handset.

AT&T will be offering the Xperia PLAY 4G on September 18 for $49.99 with a new two-year agreement. It will come in an exclusive "Stealth Blue" color, and packaged in the box are Sony Ericsson's Multimedia Dock DK300 and MC100 music cable, which allow users to dock the Xperia PLAY 4G when not in use.

We got a sneak peak at the Xperia PLAY at AT&T's showcase of new products back in July, which you can check out below. Be sure to also check out our full review of the Verizon Wireless version of the Xperia PLAY as well.
