The Torch and the N8

When looking at these two handsets it is clear to see that each have undergone development in such as way as to create very separate identities, after all Blackberry and Nokia are two very different companies. On closer inspection, however, do these phones seem very similar? Lets remember these are not cheap mobile phones and therefore you need to be sure that the phone you choose is the right phone for you.
Measurements of the chassis reveal that the N8 at 113.5×59.1×12.9mm is not much smaller than the Torch at 11x62x14.6mm and, with a weight difference of 26g, is not that much lighter.
Both handsets are capable of holding a 32GB memory and the capabilities to play various media formats, surf the web and interact with social networking software but apparently this is where the similarities end.
The Blackberry designers have integrated TFT screen technology into the Torch, which provides satisfactory quality on a 360x480px screen but holds little light to the AMOLED technology employed by the designers at Nokia.
The use of this technology is the first aspect of the N8 handset that proves that Nokia are serious about producing a handset that could honestly compete in the smart-phone market. Blackberry seems to have become too comfortable with the popularity of their design methods and not adopted the same attitude as Nokia in their attempts to grasp the attention of smart-phone consumers.
The communications market, and more particularly the smartphone market, is a battleground for innovative concepts and pioneering technology; could there be any room for tried and tested methods? Blackberry users are certainly loyal and the Torch provides enough new tech and gadgets to satisfy them but the purpose of the handset was to move into new arenas of the smartphone market, something that Blackberry may not achieve.
A comparison of these two phones creates a defined separation between the two. Nokia seem to be attempting to operate in the same arena as the Samsung Galaxy or the iPhone, whereas Blackberry could risk lingering in that small corner of business communication technology.
