Yesterday night I just picked up the bold 9900; it was a tossup between that and the 9810. Not really though, the keyboard on this bold is simply magnificent Once I typed on the bold, I couldn't go back to the torch2 though I liked the longer screen better.
Coming from my curve 8900, OS7 simply rocks; I've played with android phones before (though not the recent Samsung G2) and they all suffered from stuttering once in a while, moving back and forth in home screens or doing animations etc. The bold has none of that, and really is "liquid".
My only "negative" comment might be that I would like a longer screen... maybe move the top of the current screen north a little, move the bottom of the keyboard south; there is a fair amount of room in both top and bottom that could be better utilized, such as with a longer screen. But other than that...
In case anyone is wondering, it's rogers branded, and I got it for $550 off contract at a T-Booth (Telephone Booth?) in Hamilton.
