Rated 100% by by Brian-Wiebe (Jan, 2012)The size is what I like best - not quite as massive as the Android, not quite as thin either, but decent battery life and fits perfectly in the hand.

BlackBerry Torch 9860 by tkdtko (Jun, 2012)I'm sure somewhere in the instructions it told me to FULLY CHARGE BEFORE USING & I probably overlooked it.

Battery
RIM BlackBerry Torch 9860 | Rated 60% by by tkdtko (Jun, 2012)I use the auto on/off feature, I turned off the WiFi option and when I go to bed at night with a full charge, by morning (with it being off from midnight to 5 AM) I guarantee I'll need to charge it again before I leave for work.
RIM BlackBerry Torch 9860 | Rated 60% by by tkdtko (Jun, 2012)However - I'm starting to think I got a bad battery because I'm not seeing where they can claim you get standby time in excess of several days.
Durability
RIM BlackBerry Torch 9860 | Rated 60% by by tkdtko (Jun, 2012)I just wish Blackberry wasn't always on the verge of collapse, because I've always liked their products.2nd update- really disappointed with the construction/durability of this model.
