Upgraded to new BlackBerry Torch 9800 Full Review – Not Pleased

Wednesday, November 10th, 2010


Blackberry Torch 9800 full reviewLet me start off by saying that the BlackBerry Curve 8310 I had was not great.

Sony Ericsson Xperia x10 Android smartphoneCurrently most of the Android smartphones out there run Android OS version 1.5 to 2.1.
