Is it worth getting a Torch this late in the game?

(crosspost from the Torch forum, hope that's allowed here)

Right now I have an HTC Inspire sitting around that I'm trying to sell. I'm using a 9700 as my main phone. I plan to upgrade to a Bold Touch or Torch 2 off-contract over the summer, but I don't know which one I will want to go with. Would it be dumb to trade my Inspire for a Torch when a new one is going to be out in the next three or four months, or should I just keep trying to get some cash for it? I figure that if I do get it, I can either sell it or give it to a family member as an upgrade once the T2 or Bold Touch comes out.

I would wait, T2 specs are WAY better, and I think you're going to enjoy it alot more. You just need to have some patience.

On the other side, there will always be a better phone on the market, but this time I would wait.

I am not sure about the Inspire never having used it. I would wait on the T2. My MIL, who is using my 9700, was advised to wait and get the T2 since it was coming out soon instead of getting the T1.

I just did the switch from Storm to Torch although the Torch2 is coming soon and DON'T regret it!

Im in the same boat, Im thinking about getting a torch but man the T2 looking good, but thing is I need a BB and since there is no set in stone date, I might have to get a torch untill the T2 comes out. Untill then T1 here I come. mayb when there is a date in stone ill sell it b4 T2 comes hehe

Untill you've had a T2 in your hands lol

Wait it out. It will be here shortly.

Will the Torch be supported by phone companies after the Torch 2 is released, does anyone know? For example, if I dropped my Torch in the toilet what would it be replaced with on my insurance

[jcp007]

Depending upon your carrier, it may vary. I believe that AT&T will replace with a new one and a refurb for a warranty replacement.

I use to be good friends with a insurance guy for T-Mobile and since they all used the same company, they will replace with the same device unless they dont have any and then they will give u the next best option, but somtimes it wouldnt be the next phone version might be something totally different...

im in the same boat, was in the shop ready to start a new contract, then googled "BlackBerry torch" on the phone in store and all this torch 2 info popped up, I walked out minutes later! im waiting!

[phonegeek]

I wouldn't buy a T1 at this point but that's just my 2 cents. I put mine in the drawer yesterday and went back to the 9700 because I was tired of the slider being so loose...

I probably won't stick with the T2 very long after I get mine to test just because I've decided I don't care for the design too much.

Why go through the hassle of testing? It seems as if your mind is made.

depends on how much you like the torch. the bold touch is looking better and better every day!

[jcp007]

The Touch is a very attractive option but I do also like being able to snap the slider up to answer and down to end a call. If the Touch has an on-screen keyboard will eat more screen.
