The BlackBerry Torch and the iPhone 4 are two smartphones worth taking into consideration if you plan to buy a new device. However, BlackBerry and Apple use different technologies and design smartphones for different purposes, so in the end it comes down to personal taste and budget. All I can provide is a comparison of features.

From this point of view I’d like to start with the screen. I think you all have been mesmerized by the iPhone’s Retina display that provides a resolution of 640 x 960 pixels although it measures only 3.5 inches. These features make it superior to the 3.2-inch screen of the BlackBerry Torch that comes with a resolution of only 360 x 480 pixels. In the same time Apple’s device has a screen more responsive and with better contrast and brightness levels. However, the BlackBerry does it job beautifully, so the user experience isn’t dramatically affected by the lower quality display.
In charge of speed is the processor and it seems like the iPhone 4 does better because it comes equipped with a 1GHz processor while the Torch’s processor runs at 624MHz. However, you should know that memory management is also important, so the BlackBerry scores some points of its own, but it’s still not enough to beat the better graphics of Apple’s device. When it comes to the battery, the Torch is able to catch up, because it’s known that RIM designs quality batteries with excellent battery life. Unfortunately for RIM, Apple knew battery life is a concern so it did its best to improve the battery of the iPhone 4. However, the BlackBerry Torch still resists without charging for a longer time, but taking into consideration the wider variety of activities provided by the iPhone 4, I think it’s best to call it a tie.

We also love smartphones because of their web browsing capabilities, so we can’t move on without questioning the Safari browser that comes with the iPhone 4 and the WebKit browser that has been integrated on the BlackBerry Torch. Well, their quality is similar, but the limited number of tabs allowed on the Safari makes me consider the Torch more desirable from this point of view. In addition, it also feels easier to navigate with the help of the WebKit browser.
The camera section is filled with similar specifications because both smartphones come with a 5-megapixel camera. The only difference is that the iPhone 4 also features a front-facing camera that’s perfect for video calling. However, the BlackBerry Torch still remains the best device for a business man in need of a reliable partner.
