This is my third one! I’ve returned the previous two for similar (Wi-Fi went crazy) & same issues! I have had a blackberry since the first “old blue” and have never had a lag or freezing problem like I do with this Torch! I use my blackberry for my business & personal use combined. This blackberry has the potential to be the best one so far when it works properly. Why am i still loyal? Because on Wall Street you need a blackberry, and i got tired of carryimg 2 phones…
I’ve had virtually every blackberry since the first one thst only let u call on an ear piece, plus every iphone, the ipad, top pc laptops and a number of iMacs, so while no IT expert, i’m a pretty damn good consumer and these issues arent helping RIM. I understand Rim just adopted a new OS, and while I’m sticking with the Torch for now (any early adopter can live with a few bugs in search of the latest and greatest) but they will need to get their act together in the next update.Ĭant see this phone/OS being a successful consumer/business sucess in its current form. 3rd party apps are no where near as good as itunes apps. Related to #1- i installed app called ‘whats running’ and it show 50-some things running, but gives you little to no choices as far as closing themĥ. Convenience key wont let me lock, but will open other applicationsĤ. Time zone keeps switching to 8 hours earlierģ. Super slow, just irritating and unacceptableĢ. This is my second one (returned my first for other reasons), but still having the following issues:ġ. Its not an iphone of course, but for work, its what the doctor (could have) ordered. This blackberry has the potential to be the best one yet. So, we are assuming this to be an isolated glitch, for now. No words of acknowledgement from Blackberry so far, but the issue does not seem to be occuring on all the Torch handsets either. I even did a battery pull to try and fix it, but that didn’t do anything.” I’m a little frustrated with this lag all the time. My BB Bold 9700 was super fast all the time. Not all the time, but it’s very sporadic. Also just trying to open an application like test messages takes forever sometimes. I have made sure to close every application that could be closed on the phone, and I have seen that opening things like the options, or trying to hit the end button the exit messages is very slow. Several users on the Blackberry Support forums are noticing lags, random hanging and freezing on their handset. However, users are noticing performance levels on the Blackberry Torch is much worse than what you can expect. The Blackberry Torch comes with a 624MHz processor and quite evidently, this is not in the same league as the 1GB and above processor speeds that you find on many other modern day smartphones from HTC and Samsung.
