The BlackBerry Torch 9810 is the successor to the 9800 which has done pretty well in terms of sales. This newer version is so much better though. To look at it you may think that the only change is the fact that the battery door is now silver. How wrong you would be.
Like the Bold 9900 and Torch 9860, the Torch 9810 is powered by a 1.2Ghz processor and is running BlackBerry 7, the newest version of the the operating system. What this means is that gone are the days of your BlackBerry being laggy. This thing flies!
With the added bonus of a big screen plus the slide out hardware keyboard the Torch 9810 is suited to both media lovers as well as hard core messengers.
You can see how hands on video below:
I am not a big gamer but every so often I find a game I cant stop playing. Rise of Glory for Windows Phone 7 is one of them. It has been around for ages however I only discovered it a week ago and that is when the addiction began.
If you like to fly planes and shoot stuff then this one is a must. A free trial is available and after that the full purchase will cost you £2.29, but is money well spent.
An amazing First World War flight simulator with arcade accents. Fly your favorite plane in the single player campaign or play skirmish user defined missions. Amazing graphics, realistic aircraft behavior, challenging AI, incredible game experience.
This app uses your phone’s:
- data services
- movement and directional sensor
- music and video library
- Xbox LIVE

The BlackBerry Torch 9860 has arrived with us and although early days I am pretty impressed. The Torch 9860 is currently the Blackberry with the biggest screen so if media is a main use of your phone then this one may be right up your street.
Running BlackBerry 7 with a 3.7 inch display and powered by a 1.2Ghz processor the Torch 9860 will certainly appeal to those of you that do a lot of web browsing but still want the added features that you get with a BlackBerry such as BBM.
If you are looking to upgrade your Smartphone and you favor this form factor then the BlackBerry Torch 9860 is sure worth thinking about.
You can see the hands on video below along with the devices spec:
The chaps at Clove have been good enough to send through some BlackBerry Bold 9900 accessories for us to test out and use. As well as the charging dock we have three cases which all are of top quality. We all know we can pick up cheap ones on sites such as eBay, but if you have a £500 Smartphone i would suggest buying a decent branded accessory for the ultimate protection.
You can see the video below and if you fancy checking out the featured items on the Clove site the links are as follows.
I popped along to the press event held by Research in Motion today to check out the new BlackBerry Curve 9360. Running BlackBerry 7 and with some improved specs such as screen resolution, camera and a 800mhz processor this new addition to the Curve family looks to be a huge hit.
With the BlackBerry Curve being the best selling Smartphone in the UK the big question will be ‘is how much is this one going to cost?’ As yet I cannot answer that as it will depend on the carrier but it has to fall in line with the current 3G Curve, the 9300.
As soon as we can get our hands on a review device we will of course bring you an unboxing video as well as the full review but in the meantime you can see my hands on video from today below.
When Sony Ericsson released their X10 Mini and X10 Mini Pro handsets last year they were met with fairly mixed reception. Initially there was a lot of interest the two little devices but as they shipped with Android 1.6 and it became more apparent that updates to later versions of the OS were less and less likely their popularity was somewhat short-lived.
I think it fair to say that Sony Ericsson have learned from the mistakes made with the X10’s.
So now we have the Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini Pro to look at. Originally known as the X10 Mini Pro 2, SE have now dropped X10 from the name. The specification has been updated quite drastically and although the overall size and form is virtually the same they’ve managed to shoehorn in 1 GHz CPU, plenty of RAM, 5MP camera and HVGA LED back-lit display.
Performance is impressive. Check out the unboxing below and see the benchmarks for yourself!
I did a post the other day about the Orange Monte Carlo possibly being bargain of the year and I strongly believe it will be. Orange had the same success last year with The San Francisco and the Monte Carlo like the San Fran is also made by ZTE.
At £150 on PAYG you get fantastic value for money. Sporting a 4.3 inch touch screen and running Android 2.3.4 the Monte Carlo may not be as well specced as the Samsung Galaxy S II and the HTC Sensation but there is a massive difference in price.
The Monte Carlo is actually the ZTE Skate but you can’t buy that yet so if you want a big Android phone that wont break the bank I suggest giving this one some thought.
Matt has unboxed the Monte Carlo over the weekend and you can see the video below along with a reminder of the devices main features.

If you read our full BlackBerry Bold 9900 review earlier this week you would have seen the short overview I did about NFC, Near Field Communications. Clove have kindly sent me a NFC Smart Tag so I have been able to record a short video demonstrating how it works.
Although currently these Smart Tags are not in everyday circulation I do feel that as time goes on the this technology will have real benefits, in particular if making wireless mobile payments takes off in a big way.
As you will see in the video, using Smart Tags works well and is a quick and easy way to see what someone is advertising/promoting. In addition the tags can securely store personal data such as debit and credit card information, loyalty program data, PINs and networking contacts, among other information.
It is early days for NFC and BlackBerry Smartphones but I am intrigued to what the lies ahead.

In the olden days it was only business people that use a BlackBerry. Those days are now gone but the new BlackBerry Bold 9900 now comes with a fantastic business application that will come in handy for both business users and us normal people.
Documents to Go comes pre-loaded on the BlackBerry Bold 9900. It is designed to allow you to open, edit, save, or create new documents including Microsoft Word, Excel, and PowerPoint files on your BlackBerry Smartphone. When you need to make one small change to that report, or a colleague is asking for you to review a presentation, you can make changes quickly and efficiently while on the go. Good eh?
I have recorded a short demo video that you can see below:
