PDF) and edit Word, Excel or Power Point files.īoth document viewing and editing is supported out of the box The phone comes with the full version of Quick Office pre-installed allowing it to view all kind of documents (incl. The BlackBerry Torch 9810 organizer centerpiece – the calendar ![]() We have to admit that some event presets would have been useful but the device fails to provide them. The calendar has monthly, weekly and daily view modes and allows easily customized events to be set up. Although the interface is not preoccupied with looks, the usability cannot be called into question. True to its business objectives, the Torch 9810 has a solid set of organizer tools. Managing bookmarks, tabs and some of the available optionsĮxcept for the missing Flash support, the handset provides a solid browsing experience. It’s interesting that if you decide to use the trackpad for navigation instead of the touchscreen, you'll get a virtual mouse cursor and automatic panning and scrolling when you reach the end of the screen. The BlackBerry Torch 9810 web browser is a fast and modern piece of software, it renders pages nicely almost like a desktop browser and it will always get the job done unless you’re reaching for some Flash content. The iPhone 4 web browser works the same way however.īut we won’t bore you to death with these little nitpickings. The text reflow stops working when you zoom in even more or turn the phone in landscape mode. Unfortunately, again unlike the stock Android browser, the text reflow works only once - when the text is out-zoomed and you double tap on it. But the heavier the page is on Android, the longer the refresh time. Now that's something you won't see on a stock Android browser because the fonts there are rendered in real time. So, you got speed in panning and scrolling, even in zooming because the texture is quick to refresh rather than to zoom on a heavy page, but you get a little annoying refresh moments on zooming. ![]() When you zoom in on a portion of the text, on the BlackBerry it does take a second or two to clear up the hazy cached image of the text, while on the iPhone 4 that’s an instantaneous action. ![]() Now here’s where the difference in the performance of the iPhone 4 and the BlackBerry Torch 9810 shows up. When you zoom in, the browser is not ready with the new texture, so it simply zooms in the already rendered one, effectively upsizing it, which makes both the text and images look blurry. This way you always get a great performance while panning or interacting with the page. You see, both browsers use what is known as a backing store to cache the already rendered page thus they show showing users a texture, rather than a real page. Unfortunately, its performance is not the same. Based on the Apple’s WebKit engine and using a similar caching system as the iPhone, the new BB browser reacts surprisingly like the one on the iPhone 4. Now it does have its woes, we’ll give it that. The only thing missing is Flash support really. It is comparably fast and responsive, it supports multi-touch zooming, text selection, text reflow, mouse cursor, etc. The web browser on the BlackBerry Torch 9810 is a nice improvement for the BB platform.
