Blackberry Touch 9800

Blackberry Touch 9800 Review
Introduction:-
BlackBerry has revolutionized its range by launching a new format of this slider smartphone complete with large touch screen with a full QWERTY keyboard. Positioning Mail + Multimedia + Application+ Surf delight the largest number, starting with the Pros who will find this model a way to improve their daily productivity.
Another innovation of this smartphone is that it incorporates the newest BlackBerry OS 6 inspired by top designers. The result is clear: great ergonomics, web browsing fluidity and speed of execution. The BlackBerry MUST!
Design :
I've had three BlackBerry devices in my timebefore using a torch: a Pearl 8100, a Bold 9000 and its successor, the Bold 9700. Each device has advantages of design and defects, but the crown achievement of the Torch is the "fullness." Compared to the Bold 9700, which feels solid, but light, the torch is a tank. Not that it is a weighing device, but it is certainly well rounded.
My unit, like most BlackBerry devices I've used, has some serious problems of quality construction. While the regulatory mechanism of the screen is solid (in fact, is exceptional, and very successful) moves the screen as a little pig when the keyboard is exposed and interacting with the touchscreen is rotated slightly back and forth. But this is probably not the rule but the exception. I only had about five"exceptions" in my time as owner of a BlackBerry. Something's Gotta Give, RIM.
The device layout will be familiar to anyone with a Bold 9700. The rubber keys are the same as in 9700, the lock and mute at the top is clicky, and the camera button is two steps perfectly.
The interesting dichotomy of the device comes in the interaction between the fingers, the touch screen and trackpad. Mostpeople upgrade to this device will do it from a non-touchscreen BlackBerry. This means, for the curve and Bold users, the trackpad will be a second nature, while the fingers less. The first time you turn the device began to use it as my Bold, but after a few seconds, you realize that the construction included in the torch is not optimized for the trackpad. In fact, some functions may work much better with your fingers. Shift work as it should, but sometimes using the trackpad to get from input text box to another does not work. You have to use fingers instead of moving up or down.
The world, in which this attempt BlackBerryexists, then, is untenable. The device can be used like a touch screen not once, and most experience with the new BlackBerry 6 will be the same as they would in the old operating system. In fact, you can say that it relies heavily OS5 BB6 outside the code, since the BlackBerry button menus are identical. The inclusions of long press on thescreen to select options for background is an added advantage, but offer nothing essential to the experience. I prefer to use that annoying button to the left of the trackpad to do most of the selections in my context.
There is one thing to say about the new AT& T BlackBerry Power Torch 9800: start a hell of a lot faster than its immediate predecessor, 9700. That's something the theme of the entire operation as the Torch is a BlackBerry, but faster, deeper, and like any irritating to the eye.

Camera:-
Be creative and release the photographer in you through the stabilization of the image, autofocus, integrated flash and 5 megapixel image qualities fabulous. Furthermore, with11 options for shooting modes the most efficient light capture suit your photos no matter where you come inspiration. Historically simplified multitasking, multitasking is part of the benefits of BlackBerry. We are now moving into high gear with multi connectivity. This means that your applications are connected, you use them or not. Whatever you do, e-mails, messages, updates and notifications still arrive.
Performance:-
The phone works relatively well in the building I am running 6.0.0.141. This does not mean it's an enjoyable experience because it is not, but if you use the BlackBerry Bold 9000 when it came to light, you understand that as mature operating system, the performance increased dramatically - to the point that was like running a brand new phone. The problem with the device is powered by the same processor than the Bold 9000 and 9700. That is, the hardware has not kept up with the industry. There are snapdragons, hummingbirds, and this feels like an emu.
Upping the ante in the camera, however, was a nice touch, and the torch will take pretty pictures! The 5MP camera is much more sensitive than previous builds, and the flash is bright and capable. With the torch most likely you can leave your aim and shoot at home. That is, unless you decide you want to have some video, as the torch only shoots a regrettable inexcusably 640 x 480 resolution.
Media and video has given an overhaul, and the applications work as expected. The sound is clear and smooth video playback. Too bad there is not out DivX xVid or box, but with the proliferation of BlackBerry applications in the near future, I have no doubt the choice of media players will grow. Updated: DivX is not native to the reproduction of the box, so maybe it was my files were not working. Keeping a fairly low bitrate and it should work fine. Nice one, RIM!
There is some slowdown in the device from time to time; the clock will appear in the most unexpected places. I had an application crash or two in me, but in general the device feels soft. Home has beenreduced to about 45 seconds, which is a huge improvement over its predecessor.
The browser is another area where performance can be improved, but that will come with time. As mentioned before, the fact that all sites are accessible now is a huge blessing for the device.
Call quality is excellent, too. Using the device as a phone is relatively painless, especially now that Google has integrated contact synchronization. Next we need to synchronize your calendar, which should be in a future update of the BIS, and never haveDesktop Manager again.

Conclusion:-
The Good:
There are a lot of good things to say about the torch and the Blackberry 6. Better, faster, nice touch. The keyboard is a dream and the device is well designed. All that and could do with a BlackBerry is still here, just refined, improved and accelerated. The browser is absolutely essential and welcome. You can use it as an old BlackBerrywith the trackpad, or a storm with the touchscreen. The new heist to activate the menus is attractive, although not required, a natural evolution. Gesture of support and universal search are brilliant.
The screen, 480x360px, is crisp and easy to read under the sun. But it remains low resolution compared to the iPhone 4, and it's disappointing when you read the text inthe WebKit browser. Spend a Samsung S Torch Galaxy is like reading glasses off, everything is a blur. But I like the screen and the touch response which is excellent, Soft and very little lag.
The Bad:
The manufacturing process is still very weak, or maybe gives me a failure, but the quality of construction is relatively weak. On-screen keyboards are a waste of time, especially in the portrait, but who cares, right? The paradigm of touchscreen trackpad is still very confusing, and is more likely to use a unique mash up of both adhering to one or another. As a result, access to menus of becoming an exercise in frustration when you do not know what will pop up. There is sometimes significant slowdown due to the relatively slow processor. There is 512MB of RAM, but give you least expect it. The browser can be painfully slow loading or scrolling through web pages heavy, but that does not necessarily mean that it will improve in a future version of the operating system.
This is an evolutionary product, and indeed the best BlackBerry ever created. That does not mean it is enough to keep RIM from falling flat, nor does it mean we can rest on our laurels and not try to significantly improve the user experience in future iterations of the operating system. BlackBerry 6 is a worthy upgrade, and if 9650 or 9700 Bold owners have the opportunity to install, do not hesitate. I alsobelieve that as the configuration of the new operating system for legacy devices withouttouch, had to make some design decisions to appease both. As a result, the touch does not seem quite right and natural at the torch.
The battery life has also been a theme: Bold compared to 9700, the week could be two days without charging the phone, and I’m getting about 5-6 hours of use on the torch of life. It is even better than any other Android phone I've used, but that is not an endorsement.

INDEPENDENCE DAY

ABUJA, Nigeria – Two car bombs blew up
on Friday as Nigeria celebrated its 50th
independence anniversary, killing at least
seven people in an unprecedented attack
on the capital by militants from the
country's oil region.
The Movement for the Emancipation of the
Niger Delta, the main militant group in the
country's oil-rich southern delta, had
threatened to attack the festivities and
warned people to stay away.
"For 50 years, the people of the Niger Delta
have had their land and resources stolen
from them," the group said in a statement.
While Nigeria, Africa's most populous
nation, is oil rich most people live on less
than $1 a day. The delta is very
impoverished and polluted from spills.
A third and smaller explosion hit a venue
at Eagle Square where President Goodluck
Jonathan stood with other dignitaries,
about a 10-minute walk from where the
car bombs detonated. A security agent
was apparently injured in that blast heard
by an Associated Press reporter, though
the militant group later denied placing any
explosives in the venue.
Friday's attacks were the militants' boldest
yet, striking in Nigeria's capital during an
event with heavy security held hundreds
of miles (kilometers) from the delta.
The car bombings seemed designed to
lure first-responders and then kill them
with a second blast. Five minutes after the
first vehicle exploded, the second went
off, killing at least seven people, a police
officer told an AP reporter at the scene. At
least one of the dead was a policeman, the
officer said. The officer spoke on the
condition of anonymity because he was
not authorized to speak to reporters.
Inside Eagle Square, an AP reporter saw a
small explosive detonate before members
of the military gathered there. A security
agent was seen lying on the ground near
that blast.
The anniversary ceremony continued
without interruption.
In a statement Friday afternoon to the AP,
the militant group acknowledged that it
knew allowing the second car bomb to
detonate would put passers-by at risk.
We "warned the authorities ahead of time
who decided to ignore the warning and
alert the public," the group said. It added:
"The blame goes to the Nigerian
authorities and our message to the
families of those who may have been
affected is that we deeply regret any loss
of life."
Upset by oil spills and the region's
unceasing poverty, militants in the delta
have targeted pipelines, kidnapped
petroleum company workers and fought
government troops since 2006. That
violence drastically subsided after a
government-sponsored amnesty deal last
year provided cash for fighters and the
promise of job training. However, many
ex-fighters now complain that the
government has failed to fulfill its
promises.
In March, MEND detonated two car bombs
near a government building in the Niger
Delta where officials were discussing the
amnesty deal, wounding two people in an
attack heard live on television.
In April 2006, MEND claimed responsibility
for attacks on an army barracks and an oil
refinery during which two people were
killed. It also detonated a car bomb outside
a state governor's office in December
2006.
The attacks Friday come a day after it says
security agencies in South Africa raided
the home of its former leader Henry Okah.
Okah was freed from a Nigerian jail in July
2009 after the nation's attorney general
dropped the treason and gun running
charges he was facing. He later moved to
Johannesburg.
The militant group said Okah's house was
raided after the Nigerian government
"sent a false petition claiming Okah
planned to overthrow the government
and other claims." Police in South Africa
could not confirm any raid took place at
Okah's home.
Nigeria, which has had only a decade of
continuous democracy since it gained its
independence from Britain in 1960, is one
of the top crude oil suppliers to the U.S.
Last year, attacks by militants led to a
sharp drop in oil production, allowing
Angola to replace Nigeria as Africa's No. 1
exporter.
