The BlackBerry Torch 9800 is the first phone to use the brand new 6.0 version of the BlackBerry OS. It may not offer Android-style levels of customisation, but there are a few hidden methods of putting your stamp on your mobile packed-in…

Re-arranging the apps menu
The first new feature you’ll notice about BlackBerry OS 6, which makes its debut with the BlackBerry Torch 9800, is its re-designed apps menu. It splits your apps into five different categories — All, Favourites, Media, Downloads and Frequent — which will organise themselves automatically, but you can leave your mark on the apps menu too.

To move an app, or mark it as a favourite, just press down on the app’s icon until a pop-up menu appears. This will include options to mark (or un-mark) the app as a favourite, earning it a place in the favourites menu. The pop-up also lets you hide the app icon and move it within the menu. You’ll need to do this using the BlackBerry Torch 9800’s optical trackpad as using the touchscreen will flick through the menu pages as normal.

Changing fonts
The easiest way to give your phone a new look, possibly one that’ll rob your BlackBerry Torch 9800 of all of its style if you’re not careful, is to change the font used in the menu system. This won’t change the text of the app menu, but will alter just about everything else, including your contacts book and the settings menu.

A huge 25 different fonts are available, and you can change the font size too — perfect if your eyes aren’t just as sharp as they used to be. To change the font used in your BlackBerry Torch 9800, head to the main Options menu, then Display, followed by the Screen Display option. Here you’ll see all the font options on offer, including style, size and whether smoothing is used or not. We’d recommend turning font smoothing on, as the Torch’s middling screen resolution is shown up quite noticeably when the feature’s not engaged.

The “camera” key
As most mobile veterans will instantly recognise, if there’s a button towards the bottom of the righ hand-side of your mobile, you expect it to be a camera shutter button, right? The BlackBerry Torch 9800 has one of these bad boys, but it’s much more versatile than it at first appears.

As standard, this button is set to fire-up the camera app, and to take photos once you’re in it, but it can do all sorts of things — virtually anything you like. To change what the button does, go to the Options menu, then head to Device, followed by Convenience Key. Even if you have no additional apps installed, there are dozens of options within this menu. You can set the key to take you to a web bookmark, launch an app, go to your password keeper or — if you’re a real party pooper — do absolutely nothing.

Within the camera app, the button will still be used for taking pics, but it’s a mighty useful little shortcut when you’re not.

Wallpapers and themes
Good old wallpapers — they’re still the most effective way to give your mobile a facelift. You have to head into the Options menu to find the wallpaper select feature, then select Display and Home Screen Preferences.
