Blackberry Torch Mobile To Offer Better Browsing

By David Pearson


Research in Motion (RIM) Blackberry acquired Torch Mobile in an attempt to shore up the weakest aspect of their smart phone line, the web browser. The Blackberry Torch Mobile acquisition will lead to additional help in ensuring that their phones become a better all around item for regular consumers. With an already faithful fan base the newer model phones will possibly entice more people to get the brand.

Blackberry has long been known for their email interface on their phones. It is one of the big selling points of their brand. Many corporate users get Blackberry phones for corporate email support as well.

The Blackberry physical keyboards are also some of the best in the industry. They are always roomy and responsive for the user to type out text messages, emails, or other information. Most models have a physical keyboard with most of them being QWERTY style but a few having the RIM SureType system keyboard that has two letters per key.

The biggest negative of a Blackberry is the web browser. Today's smart phones are getting much better at translating information from the internet onto the phone's screen. Overall the market is full of options that have large screens and fast browsers that offer a very good web surfing experience anywhere.

With Blackberry and Torch Mobile having their technology blended the new Blackberry Torch offers a much improved web browser for their line of phones. The Torch comes with a Web Kit browser that is capable of handling Java script much better than any previous Blackberry and also offers tabbed browsing of internet pages.

The smart phone market is a very competitive global market. Apple now offers an iPhone4 which is one of the most used smart phones in the world. Even with a small form factor the phone is very powerful, has a lot of internal memory, and has, according to many people, the best mobile web browsing experience available on a smart phone. There are many manufacturers that make Android phones. Because of that there are many variations of the system put on smart phones that are split between some with physical keyboards and some with virtual keyboards. The internet surfing experience on Android smart phones are considered very close to that of an iPhone.

The Blackberry Torch Mobile acquisition has helped usher a new web browser onto Blackberry phones. The Web Kit browser helps fix the biggest problem that Blackberry had on their phones. Although the competition for consumers is tough between iPhone, Blackberry, and Android the new Blackberry Torch really helps provide Blackberry with a new top of the line model that can compete with the others.
