BlackBerry Torch and the BlackBerry Bold 9900; which one is better?

BlackBerry has continued to take the pride of first place as far as smartphones are concerned. It comes with numerous makes of handsets that incorporate high-end features, which would be essential, both for business people and fashion enthusiasts. The entry of the BlackBerry 9900 specs range of phones only cements Research in Motion’s place in the mobile phone world. These mobile phones have brought a whole new definition to the term smartphone.

One thing that you would acknowledge, however, is that most of BlackBerry mobile phones have been more or less similar. One model that clearly marks the boundary is the BlackBerry 9900. This model comes with a touch screen as well as a QWERTY Keyboard. Another model that you would find in the BlackBerry range is the BlackBerry Torch that would appeal to the youth since it has a big touch display as well as a slider mechanism hiding the keys.

One thing that you would acknowledge is that as much as the hidden keys of Blackberry Torch would be quite impressive, it would not only have a larger display but would also reduce the phone’s measurement albeit slightly. It actually comes at 111 x 62 x 14.6 mm, which is slightly smaller than Bold. However, it is thicker compared to the Bold 9900 due to the incorporation of slider mechanism. It has a 3.2-inch screen with resolution of 320x480 as well as the ability to display a maximum of sixteen-million colors. Despite the fact that the Bold 9900 comes with a smaller screen, it actually has impressive features. It has 640 x 480 resolution therefore giving impressive image quality as well as very clear graphics. In addition to the full physical QWERTY keyboard incorporated in the Bold 9900, it still has a touch sensitive display therefore easing the navigation of applications and web pages. This therefore makes it quite a favorite of business users.

Multimedia functionality has taken a very key place for many people in the modern times. As you may acknowledge, BlackBerry devices have been lagging behind on this particular aspect. However, these two devices seem to defy this notion especially looking at their camera specification. They both have 5 megapixel cameras, therefore allowing for high quality image capture. However, the Bold 9900 adds the high-definition video capture. In this case, the phone would be in a position to capture video at 720p resolution. This is quite superior to VGA capture incorporated in the BlackBerry Torch.
