Cell phones, mobile phones, handsets, handphones… Whoever thought that all of that would eventually evolve to bring about SMARTphones?

Handphone + PDA (Personal Desktop Assistant) = SMARTphone

That’s right, handphones nowadays are more than just a block of plastic with a 2-inch monochromatic screen. They are now programmed to work like PDAs, with calling and texting functions, and also the ability to connect to the Internet. All that, in the space of two decades; wow.

SMARTphones today come in different sizes with different specifications, different forms with different designs, and different brands with different call plans. Hence, I present to you, the best of the best SMARTphone brands coupled with the best of the best call plans:

BlackBerry Torch 9800 + DG SMART Plan = SMARTphone Special

So now, for the big question: is the BlackBerry Torch 9800 HOTter, or SMARTer? If you ask me, the BlackBerry Torch 9800 is SMARTer than it is hotter. Don’t get me wrong, it definitely appeals to me in terms of design and ergonomics factor, but the mind-blowing feature that makes this SMARTphone really stand out, is that it is the world’s first BlackBerry with both touchscreen and BlackBerry QWERTY keypad! These would come in handy when dealing with texts, email, Facebook and Twitter, wouldn’t they?

Oh, yummy, yummy. Now let me justify my stand. It has been proven that Albert Einstein was a genius because he could work both sides of his brain equally, unlike most humans who are left-brain (logical) or right-brain (artistic) dominant. In this context, having both a QWERTY keyboard (logical) and a touchscreen (artistic) at the same time would make the BlackBerry Torch 9800 SMARTer than ordinary SMARTphones! Also, BlackBerry is known worldwide for their quality QWERTY keyboards, and to add to that, the Torch 9800’s touchscreen measures 3.2 inches! Owning the Torch would just make you more superior than other SMARTphone users wouldn’t it?

Again, let me remind you that the BlackBerry Torch 9800 does not lose out in terms of design as it is as sleek and sexy as it is SMART and sharp. ;] This adds on the the Torch 9800’s HOT factor, which gives you even more reason to buy it!
