Let’s talk hardware before we get into a discussion about aesthetics and performance. The BlackBerry Torch 9800 features a Marvel 624 MHz CPU, 512 MB of RAM and 4 GB of on-board storage. In addition, a 4 GB microSD card comes included with the phone. Of course, the microSD can be upgraded up to 32 GB if you need more storage space. There’s also a 5 Megapixel camera with an LED Flash, the expected 3.5 millimeter headphone and MiniUSB ports, and an optical trackpad if you want to keep the gorgeous 360×480 pixel screen free of smudges and fingerprints.

In terms of looks, the Torch resembles the 9700. The Torch comes with both a capacitive 3.2” touchscreen and a slide-down, full-size QWERTY keyboard. On this particular model, the individual keys have a slight bevel to them for a convenient feel during typing. Measuring 0.56 inches thick, it feels incredibly solid and stable without being overly bulky. Weighing 5.68 ounces, it’s heavier than competitors such as the iPhone 4 but doesn’t really feel like it. Overall, it’s a nice evolution of the classic BlackBerry design without much compromise of its original look.

When it comes to usability, the new BlackBerry OS 6 is the biggest incentive of this phone. The latest iteration of the beloved operating system performs admirably when it comes to viewing media online and with general web browsing. The Torch is offered through AT&T and runs on their HSDPA/UTMS network, allowing for potential download speeds of up to 7.2 Mbps. In addition, it features quad-band EDGE support for making calls in virtually every country on the globe. As expected, it also features support for Wireless-N WiFi connectivity through any of AT&T’s 20,000 nationwide wireless hotspots.

The phone already comes fairly well equipped, so you shouldn’t need many BlackBerry Torch accessories. It is also compatible with previous RIM docks. While the Torch’s screen offers fair protection against scratches, you may wish to obtain one of the BlackBerry Torch Screen Protectors for a reasonable price online. There are also many custom BlackBerry Torch Cases for sale that can help you protect your precious hardware from dents and dings. All in all, the Torch is an excellent phone that should keep current BlackBerry users happy and might even convince a few Apple fanatics to give it a try.

A popular type of card is one that has a Personal Identification Number that is associated with a land line. Any calls made using this PIN will automatically be charged to the phone bill of that particular landline. This enables the caller to make calls away from home but still pay for the calls on one bill. This method is also suitable for families where children need the security of knowing they can make a call when they are away from home but don't have cash or a mobile phone with them.

One of the biggest advantages of international phone cards is the cheap rates that you can obtain. Many phone card providers such as here at Planet PhoneCards, also offer large discounts on long distance calls, making the cost of your calls much lower. It is much easier to budget when you use phone cards, as you can keep track of the cost of calls made. If you want to limit the amount of money spent on international calls, just pay for a set amount on your calling cards, knowing that once the credit has been used that is it for that week or month.

Phone cards have many benefits other than the low cost of calls. Travellers find calling cards especially easy to use whilst abroad, and don't have to spend time trying to find local currency to make calls. International calling cards make your life easier and help to reduce the cost of your calls.

Thousands of people still purchase plastic, printed phone cards at supermarkets and convenience stores even though the cards do not contain any information or data except a PIN code. All of the account information is stored on a computer so why do these people not purchase a phone card via computer and save time, money and natural resources? Many people likely want to purchase a phone card with cash since they do not have a credit card or Pay Pal account while others do not trust on-line purchases. There may be rational reasons for not purchasing phone cards on-line but there are more compelling reasons for making on-line purchase. Some of these are listed below:

Lower Rates – We checked Sam’s Club and found that they sell AT&T phone cards with 1000 minutes (USA state-to-state) for $34.70. This works out to about 3.5 cents per-minute. This rate includes toll free access and all fees and taxes but this rate is still relatively high. It is fairly easy to find a high quality virtual phone card with a USA state-to-state rate of 1 to 2 cents per minute. The rate on international calls varies significantly between countries but, for example, the cost to call most European countries from the USA is around 2 to 3 cents-per-minute these days. State Sales Tax - Purchase a phone card on-line and save state sales tax in most states. This will typically result in a 7 or 8% savings and there is no cost for shipping. PIN Free Dialing – Most high quality on-line phone cards come with added features like PIN Free Dialing at no additional charge. Some virtual calling cards like Tel3Advantage come loaded with added features. Balance Transfer – Some phone card marketers offer a balance transfer option where the remaining balance left on one phone card can be transferred to another phone card. In this way the caller can always use the optimum phone card for making calls to their desired location. Call History – Many high quality on-line phone cards provide users with a complete call history for their phone card. The user can review the call history and understand all of the charges for each call. Try to figure this out with a typical store bought phone card. Auto Recharge – Many virtual phone cards come with an Auto Recharge option. This is a handy feature that will automatically recharge the card when the balance falls to a predetermined level. This feature assures the user that a call will not be disconnected due to lack of funds in the account.

On-line phone card service providers continue to add more features to entice buyers. Anyone who purchases a printed phone card these days is likely paying more than necessary to make calls and also losing out on features.
