Tuesday morning Research in Motion released the Blackberry Torch which is so-called the iPhone killer. There is no point of believing that many people would choose the Torch over the iPhone. There are major differences between the two, so it is somewhat hard to compare them. The major difference between the two is that the Torch has a slide-out QWERTY keyboard while the iPhone doesn’t. That is the only advantage over the iPhone. I’m usually not an iPhone fan but this iPhone will rip the Torch to shreds. The iPhone is better is so many different ways. iPhone’s 3.5” 720p screen is no match for the Torch’s 3.2” VGA screen (640x480). Also Blackberry’s App World is far behind in the number of apps Apple has. Blackberry App World only has about 9,000 apps while Apple has a monstrous 225,000 apps. The new Torch will only be good for people who already use Blackberries or people who want to make a transition into a touch screen phone. The Blackberry Torch is no match for the iPhone 4. The comparison for the Torch is the Palm Pre Plus, which is not a good thing.
