Additionally, the BlackBerry 6 OS comes with a suite of social networking features, making it easier to stay connected with friends and family on popular platforms like Facebook, Twitter, and MySpace. The integration of these social networks into the operating system means users can receive updates and notifications directly on their home screen, ensuring they never miss an important post or message.

Additionally, it includes 4GB of internal flash storage and a microSD card slot with a 4GB microSD card included, offering plenty of space for apps, photos, and other media. Users can expand the storage further by replacing the microSD card with one of a higher capacity, up to 32GB, making it a versatile option for those who need extra storage.
The five-megapixel camera on the BlackBerry Torch 9800 is equipped with a built-in flash and auto-focus, enabling users to capture high-quality photos even in low-light conditions. The camera also supports video recording, allowing users to capture important moments in motion. This makes the Torch 9800 a suitable device for both casual photographers and those who need a reliable camera for work purposes.
