BlackBerry Torch 9800 Photos :
Verizon needs a phone like this. I would definitely get it.
How much is it costing,
guess its out of pockets of a normal man,
A perfect business phone, with the classy interface and the QWERTY slider keypad in the bottom. The 5-megapixel camera would be a killer too, but I would have been happy if they sell the unlocked version than the AT&T locked phones at $199.
The 512MB RAM and the 4GB memory is good enough, if we are not using the phone for any multimedia purpose like movies, music etc. I’m sure the features to run the MS office etc. would be great in the Blackberry 6 OS.
