- Wow this is amazing! I came here to create this exact thread, and here ya go!
Anyway, Epitome, have you purchased yet? What are your thoughts?
I think I'll start with the Torch since it's cheaper. I do a LOT of texting, but if QNX phones will not have physical keyboard I might as well get used to it.
By the way, does anyone know if that's really true? (no physical keyboards on QNX)09-17-11 11:45 AMLike 0 - well, I purchased the 9860 but it went back the next day because it was just too inefficient without a keyboard. I looked all over town for a Bold and finally found one the next day. Loving it!
One of the things I LOVED about BB, coming from Android, was how every thing was simple and straightforward. Having that touch screen kind of took away some of the simplicity for me.09-22-11 02:01 PMLike 0 - I have had my Torch for several days now, and while I love the phone overall, I am making to many mistakes with the virtual keyboard. I went to Sprint today to play with the Bold, and the keyboard was perfect...the screen was just too small. Being that it is my work phone, I will likely go with the Bold (I have a Motorola Triumph as my personal phone).10-10-11 06:52 PMLike 0

- I have both phones at home. I picked up the 9930 for me & the 9850 for my girlfriend. We're both coming off of Storm 1's so we are used to virtual keyboards. I picked up the 9930 just to try the physical keyboard & I really thought I would return it for the 9850 but after a few days I'm thinking that I will keep it.
I do mainly email, RSS reading & some web browsing with the phone & so far the 9930 has handled these perfectly. The combination of physical keyboard with a touch screen just works really well for me. I do miss the aditional screen real estate at times but, for me, the physical keyboard makes up for it.
In short it is entirely up to the individual. Go play with both and make a decision on what to get. The more expensive route is to buy one for yourself and another for your wife/gf and have both and your disposal to make a decision within the return timeframe.
I love my bold!10-10-11 11:44 PMLike 0
