what's up everyone John Rhett enger' from TechnoBuffalo here not only I'm not hypnotizing you at the spinning fan I am also unboxing one of the latest blackberries to come out of Waterloo this is the torch 9850 let's go ahead hack on in and see if it can illuminate the way to your pocket making a triumphant return is the obligatory big-ass knife here it is and all of its unnecessary gratuitousness this 9860 is OAM that means no carrier on it and it comes courtesy of the folks at Negri electronics that's where generally we get all of our unlocked giveaway items and where all of our unlocked phones come that we review so let's go ahead and take a look at the box it's black it says blackberry there's nothing on the side without certain that carrier flare these boxes get very boring got some stuff on the side and some of the old business on the back blah blah let's go ahead and hack on in I'm happy to use the obligatory knife again I suppose by using the obligatory knife also has to make it obligatory joke about not cutting my finger off so let's try it again ah alright peel off the plastic this is the GSM version so it'll work on AT&T or Rogers if you're in Canada on their HSPA+ network or any other carriers that have compatible 3G or 4G or 4G if ever you want to call it networks this is available though in the CDMA variants on Verizon and Sprint in fact my chrome actually reviewed the Sprint version of it I'll put link down to that down below go ahead and pull out of the box there it is feels pretty decent in the hand push it out to the side t also we're gonna get I'm guessing is gonna be a battery and a wall charger and some books which no one's gonna read so headphones with microphone yeh battery the bane of my existence the J em one battery this thing is awful the same battery that's used in the 9900 they supposedly going to get four point seven hours of talktime on this although it's extremely doubtful it's 1230 milliamp hours wall charger microUSB cable alright let's go ahead and push all this stuff in the box now let's see look at the phone here is the phone you zoom on it a little bit come on closer hey there alright so there we go alright cuz I know you guys love stickers on here I'm gonna go ahead and eat that on there not again go ahead and peel that sucker off do the same thing here on the back and I'll go ahead pop in the battery first let's go ahead and pull off back and I'll let it boot up and I'll talk about it it's inside a metal back certainly has a much higher quality feel than other devices we've seen sim card obviously go in there micros D Kardos or micro SD card rather also go in there look like the OEM version actually shipped with one though so through that in my I'm not gonna popping some cry right now put on back hopefully can do this in one shot boom and I did alright let's power it on let's talk about this guy because there's an interesting things here hopefully there's enough juice to make this thing work and it looks like there is okay so the torch 98 6 t it's mostly just a big screen on that big screen is 3.7 inches with a resolution of 800 by 480 I mentioned the battery life talked about that probably in the review from a size and weight standpoint four point seven two by two point four four five point four five and weighs 4.7 six ounces if you kept track of all that it's pretty thin phone actually even with the battery in it feels really good in the hands very very light camera lives on back five megapixel camera four times digital zoom flash HD video recording at 720p there's a flash this guy will actually have autofocus you don't have autofocus on Bold 9900 memory it's got 4 gigs internal of course you can up that with a 32 gig CAD it's got 768 megabytes of RAM and it's been powered by a 1.2 Gerrits single core processor and there are it just put it up there put it up an older blackberry or OS 6 buck for you it takes forever this one is actually relatively quick alright so see what we got here proximity sensor typical array of Blackbird buttons these are physical pushy clicky non capacitive buttons got your home button your BlackBerry button 5 way optical trackpad you can push in back button and call any button on the left hand side pill on this back I know just going to know you folks ha the metal is a bit of soft touch feel to it really actually feels very nice in the hands on the left hand side there is the micro USB charging port right in the middle which is great that it's in the middle you want to put this thing in dock because you have to charge the battery so I'm guessing it's going to suck as badly as the 9900 you can also sync it with that port a microphone port on the bottom on the right hand side hitting like very stealthily really hard to find is volume rockers so that is there think there is there's a hard button there which you can use even if you can see it on camera for the camera is what it's set to for default 3.5 millimeter headset jack there's the camera on the get back on top you've got the lock button so all kind of stuff going on here it's go ahead and get exit this exit this so this is all touchscreen accelerometer based all that business let's take a look at a keyboard I was not the biggest fan of the keyboard on the storm devices there's no share press here this is just a capacitive screen doesn't click or do anything else fancy but the keyboard has been done and revamped so take a look at what a text message I'll create a new one create alright that's why alright so here is the keyboard and obviously and yeah landscape orientation I have not used this before at all so this will be a very first test I lost it okay again as an I get shot this is a test so I wasn't that accurate but the auto corrects just bring it hopefully I got it on camera let's switch not over let's try it this way this is a test this is it yet this us in yet so probably takes some getting used to and but that was a very first shot you can see the keyboard looks like see how quick the rotation is actually pretty fast we've got a full webkit-based browser and i'll show all that kind of good stuff here about the torch 9800 anything that you guys want to see in particular leave your comments down below again a special thanks to the folks at Negri for hooking us up with this phone I'm actually pretty excited to what dig in I've been using a 9900 actually is my dedicated device for a while so I'm gonna switching over this guy and give it a shot just for a size comparison sake here they are side by side I don't if you called me brothers sisters or just in cousins let's go ahead and see if they look like named blackberry sandwich so there's the thickness yes I can hear my cat snoring in the background she's just snoring like crazy I swear there's a cat in there somewhere not sure what Jenn does her head magentas her tail that's Mercedes recolor Sadie um here's the back of them plastic back with NFC right here no NFC on this guy least I don't believe so if there is all annotated and that is about it maybe you guys want to see comparisons head to head and let me know leave your comments down below I'm John Retton drew from TechnoBuffalo I'll see you in the next video buh-bye you
