Comparison Smartphone Review: BlackBerry Torch or Nexus One? Which is Better?

“In the 14 years since I acquired my first mobile smart device
(a Palm Pilot, circa 1996), the best combination of form and
function for me came with my BlackBerry Curve 8300. This was truly
a sweet smartphone that eventually just became outdated. There was
really nothing wrong with my Curve when I gave it up in March of
this year — in fact it found a happy owner on eBay — it’s just
that significant new developments had come along capability-wise
that warranted a change for me as an entrepreneur in the mobile
technology business.

“Ultimately what the Curve lacked was a higher resolution
display, a 3G network, and a “real” Web browser. Everything else
about the BlackBerry experience, especially when coupled with
BlackBerry BES and Microsoft Outlook, suited me fine. The device
was ergonomically well designed, provided an excellent mobile phone
experience, and survived heavy use over nearly three years of
conducting daily mobile computing tasks and other operations.”
