So the Blackberry 9800 Torch has been launched and it’s been doing great. The only battle that continues is the determination of what’s better, the blackberry 9700 bold or the 9800 Torch. Believe it or not, there have been many arguments between the two of them. Let’s start with the most important thing to many of us the body of the phone and how it looks The Torch measure 111×62×14.6mm, while the Bold 9700 measures at 109×60x14mm. The Torch has a bigger body because it can also carry more stuff, while Bold 9700 has 2.4” screen the Torch occupies a 3.2” touch screen. As for the camera because that is probably the next most important thing that we look at is the camera. In the camera section the Bold 9700 brings 3.2 megapixels while the new Torch brings a 5 megapixel camera on board, being an impressive improvement in this section. Believe it or not the OS system is also a pretty big deal as well.
To an average teen or an adult this may not be such a big deal but to the big corporate head bumpers this is a huge deal. The Torch brings BlackBerry OS 6 to the table, it is the latest BlackBerry operation system, on the other side the Bold 9700 is equipped with older OS which is the OS 5. The newer OS delivers some improvement and new feature, but compared to the recent great OS the Android and iOS, this phone OS looks really old. Now let’s see what others come out with in terms of OS because as we know the systems are changing every week. However, though the Torch has been elected to be the flagship device. Some of the features don’t seem to bring Bold 9700 down, it is better to line them together as a variant since they both share almost the same feature if the Bold 9700 is upgraded to OS 6. In our opinion, we prefer the Blackberry 9700. This is because we personally hate touch screen phones; they’re really difficult to work with. The bold just looks so much nicer because it does not slide up, and everything is all in one view of the phone.
