So beautiful! 

I agree 100%.  Most handsome phone I have ever seen.

Not bad, but I prefer the style of the first Porsche cellphones, which were manufactured by SAGEM, by the way. It seems Porsche is looking for a new breath, but for me this Blackberry's keyboard is like a teenager with acne..too many buttons..😎

As an everyday blackberry user (bb 9780) I must say that this phone is ugly. The idea is good, but the keyboard - no way ! Looks more to me like a pimped sony ericsson phone than a blackberry.

Cool right up until you walk into your local hifi store and say, "can i have a blackberry dock please"👍

Might have been ok 5 years ago, but looks are not everything and I thinks it's rubbish.

Display is far to small, and 3 function keys? what is that, those went out with the Sinclair Spectrum computer almost 20 years ago, imagine trying to alt-shift on a keyboard that size? the Berry torch 9800 is a much better option, and, typical of RIM, the photo gallery takes an age to load, just like the application catalogue takes an age to load - do they actually want customers?

Looks pretty but is rather '80's, lacks functionality  and practicality, I would have expected that at least if would be able to use a memory card larger than 32gB, after all, thats what will be coming up pretty soon in its competitors - let me guess, its 'exclusivity' also means it carries a premium price tag too, and as for 'exclusive' applications, thats only software and easily duplicated, quite how that can ever be considered as a special selling point is a joke.
