21 October 2011 – The BlackBerry Bold 9900 and BlackBerry Torch 9810 are two business-centric devices with impressive hardware to boot. Which of the two should you go for?

In terms of design, the two BlackBerries are relatively similar in dimensions, although the BlackBerry Torch 9810 is slightly thicker due to its slide-out QWERTY keyboard. However, they will fit firmly in your hands regardless.

Due to its design, the BlackBerry Torch 9810 is fitted with a larger 3.2-inch screen, as opposed to the BlackBerry Bold 9900’s 2.8-inch display. Size difference aside, they both offer the same screen resolution of 480 x 640 pixels.

As part of the newer lineup, these two devices will have a 1.2GHz processor running under the hood, which puts them on par in terms of performance. Moreover, they will run on the latest BlackBerry OS 7.

Both BlackBerries come with a generous 8GB of internal storage, which can be easily expanded via MicroSD cards of up to 32GB.

The BlackBerry Bold 9900 and BlackBerry Torch 9810 are fitted with identical 5.0-megapixel cameras with nifty features such as image stabilisation and LED flash to aid your photo-taking tasks.

Given that both devices are virtually the same in terms of hardware, the design is the only thing that sets them apart. That said, you will have to pay a premium if you want the Bold’s more traditional look, whereas the Torch’s slider design will set you back a lot less.
