Keep the Torch 9800 closed and you’ll notice RIM is still happy being loyal to its papyrus old designs. The slider makes all the difference to the hardware of the phone; otherwise, it still reminds you of the old boss 9700. The familiarity continues with the dimensions: 4.4” x 2.4” x 0.6” and weight 5.7 ounces. Call and end keys, menu and back buttons and optical track pad navigation, so very reminiscent of BlackBerry, sports the area below the 3.2-inch half-VGA screen. 5.7 ounces is by no means light yet the Torch turns out to be quite handy and easily slips into a pocket.
