Let me preface by saying I was a HUGE bb bold fanboy and absolutely hated anything touch screen after owning an iphone for a few days.
Coming from a 9780, I absolutely hated the 9800 when I got it. A day later though it absolutely grew on me.
Its got the best screen, a very good keyboard with no double key input issue like the new bold, os 6 is stable as **** even while multitasking several applications.
I am in smart phone heaven here guys...

My experience was a little different. I had both the 9780 & 9800. I found that I a lot of difficulty typing on the 9800 touchscreen and thought the physical keyboard was a little cramped. I do agree that the 9800 is a really good BB, it just didn't work for me. I love my 9780.
I love my Torch but it's too heavy and although I don't have slider wobble issues, there's a definate lack of solidity. No flaming boys-- I love my Torch just like you do. But the truth is the truth. Whenever it feels a little crappy, I use my 9780 for a week. LOL

I think my Torch is fantastic. I had an 8900 a couple of years ago, then like a sheep I bought an iPhone. I've had the Torch for a week now and it's definatley the best phone I have ever owned.
thats a no brainer.. torch is the most user friendly bb ever made.. man, i used a bold earlier, and sold it after 3 months.. was so irritated by the stupid trackball and the lame browser.. now after one year i again went back to a smartphone, this time a bb torch.. and my feeling was, now we r talking.. if u look at the big picture and consider everything, the torch will beat any bb model ever made.. come on a good keypad is not enough to make an outstanding device.. torch is a practical device which u can use for any tusk with relative ease..now we can say safely enough that a smartphone can be an alternative to a pc..
op, so you're saying the 9800 is the best blackberry ever made.i say you're wrong. with new devices on the horizon for 2011, the 9800 will become obsolete too.
just how technology goes. there will be no best blackberry ever made because new blackberries will always replace old blackberries. new iphones will replace old iphones. new androids will replace old androids. and so on.
I just moved from the Bold 9000 to the Torch. I have to say - it was a great move! Love the Torch! Not a big fan of typing on a touch screen but love the option to use swipe action. No wobbly-ness with the slider either.
I agree. I'm still trying to see the big separation of the Torch 9800 compared to other top smart phones right now. I think the Torch is the best BB to date. I use mine for business and play. I've compared it with top Android devices (Incredible, Droid 2 Global) and iphone; There is no significant advantage with Android or Apple right now. As long as BB keeps innovative, they should keep its loyal base. They are however, hanging on by a string due to younger demographics gravitating to the more "app friendly" devices.
BB is still the best phone for business.

How do you enable swipe?
