The BlackBerry Torch 9800 has just been introduced onto the smartphone scene, offering a capacitive touchscreen, upgraded OS and a whole lot more to boot. The iPhone 4 has had its fair share of problems of late, but it’s still a stunning phone.
The question is, which should you invest in if you’re looking for a touchscreen maestro?
Screen:If we’re going to compare numbers, the iPhone 4’s screen wins hands down, with a much higher resolution 640×960 pixels, 3.5-inch capacitive touchscreen, but don’t rule out the BlackBerry Torch’s 360×480 pixel, 3.2-inch display.
Winner: Apple iPhone 4
Processor:The iPhone 4’s 1Ghz processor may pack a punch, but this doesn’t mean it runs faster than the BlackBerry Torch 9800’s. The latter may only pack in a 624MHz processor, but BlackBerry memory management is much better than the iPhone’s.
Winner: Blackberry torch 9800
Browser:The iPhone 4’s Safari browser was certainly the best on a smartphone up to now, but the BlackBerry Torch 9800’s WebKit browser beats the iPhone’s. The Blackberry browser also uses your text size preferences to resize text within the browser – ensuring it’s always the size you want it to be.
Winner: Blackberry torch 9800
Applications:Although BlackBerry will be introducing new APIs to developer, including access to the HTML 5-powered WebKit browser API and carrier billing, applications still come secondary to the App Store’s offering. Sure, BlackBerry offers more CRM apps for business users, but for the users , the iPhone easily conquers BlackBerry.
Winner: Apple iphone 4
Camera:Both the iPhone 4 and the BlackBerry Torch 9800 have seen a higher resolution camera installed compared to previous versions. Both 5-megapixels, the iPhone 4’s camera supports HD video recording, where the BlackBerry’s camera only shoots in SD.BlackBerrys have always had great image quality and the Torch 9800 is no different. However, the iPhone 4’s camera offers much crisper photos, and a secondary video camera aswell.
Winner: Apple iPhone 4
Battery life:The iPhone may have a higher capacity battery (1420mAh in comparison to the Torch’s 1300mAh), but it won’t keep going for days on end like the BlackBerry will.
Winner: BlackBerry Torch 9800
the final score is 3-3. Personally, i would chose the Blackberry Torch 9800 because i think it’s more professional and yes ofcourse it’s BBM.
