The Blackberry Torch 9800 was rumored to be the BlackBerry Slider. The Blackberry was announced earlier this August and supposedly to be launched the same month while the Nokia N900 was announced on August but being released in November(last year).

The dimensions of the Blackberry are 111 x 62 x 14.6 mm and of the N900 are 110.9 x 59.8 x 18 mm, 113 cc. The rival actually does have quite of a weight difference, the N900 weighing 181g and its Blackberry weighing 165g. The Nokia N900 has a TFT resistive touchscreen, 65K colors, the Blackberry also has a QWERTY keyboard. The N900 doesn’t have a scratch resistant gorilla glass display but even than if you hit it really hit it hard it can break. The Blackberry does have our regular 3.5 mm audio jack as well as the N900.

The rival has 4 GB storage, 512 MB RAM and 512 MB ROM which is quite a bit for this type of smartphone while the N900 beats it with 4x more storage of 32 GB storage. The Blackberry does come wit a 4GB Microsd card. The Blackberry does come with a good quality camera of 5 MP, 2592-1944 pixels, autofocus and LED flash rather than a Xenon flash which the N900 is equipped with. The camera is way better than the Torch with 5 MP, Carl Zeiss optics and autofocus as well a video light. The Blackberry is the first device ever in history that has BlackBerry OS 6.0 but I still think that Maemo is better.

The Blackberry only comes with Social feeds, BlackBerry maps, Document editor (Word, Excel, PowerPoint, PDF) as well as an organizer and a voice dial/memo. The Blackberry Torch‘s battery time is up to 432 h (2G) and up to 336 h (3G) while the N900 is behind with 278 h (2G) and 250 h (3G)
