New Torch - wipe the existing OS?

[pbc]

I'm upgrading from my 9700 Bold to the Torch and got one in Friday. Just charging it.

Curious, is it best to wipe the Torch and load the most recent OS? I recall with my Bold it was super slow on start up until I wiped the OS clean and started fresh.

Was curious if these puppies were somewhat similar to computers/laptops in that there was a lot of "uneeded" cr*p preinstalled on them.

Thx

Well I dnt think its really necessary , coz it doesn't come with lot of crap pre-installed . Ya it does come with couple of apps like Facebook, twitter etc. I dnt think they'll slow the device down unless u sign in and they run in background .
I agree, when it comes to a laptop , they load lot of BS that r running on background but do nothing for us
But in the end u can go ahead and wipe it coz u dnt lose anything important

It is almost NEVER necessary to wipe the OS before installing a new one. More often
than not (99% of the time) it is a complete and abject waste of time.

This is comforting to hear. Looks like I've been doing things right the whole time.
