Default 9810 worth the extra upgrade?

So right now, I'm not contract with my 9800 , and I guess it does everything I need well. Everything is great. And I was getting bored so I'm wondering if my 9800 is running well without battery pulling, no nothing that the 9810 is a good enough upgrade for a 3 year contract and an extra 75$ ? Just wondering like; is it worth it or should I just stick with my trusty Torch?

Thankyou!

I have a 9800 and my wife has the 9810. I have played with hers and I like it. It's way faster with the 4G and better processor and I like the virtual keyboard better, but the lack of themes and support has kept me from upgrading. I am holding onto my upgrade until the new phones come out anyway. I would only have a 2 year wait but that's a long time to wait for BB10. I would rather hold out 10 months give or take and see what Rim has to offer with the new phones.
Just my 2 cents.

Well if you are happy with it then you might as well wait for the new phones to come out in oct-nov and save yourself the $75 because when the new ones come out then you know you won't be able to control yourself.

If you do decide to get the 9810 now then the same thoughts, that are going through your head now, will be going through your head later.



Besides if you do wait it out, then when you finally do get your bb10 upgrade, you will have one of those "best feelings in the world experience".

I have the 9800 and very content with. And yes, am itching to get new BBs, and at times bored with 9800, but still love it, so I just change up my theme. Really waiting for white bold 9900

So after seeing the article showing the new BlackBerry (London?) I think I'm ready to put out the wait! Can't wait for bb 10 to come out. And hopefully then, if I don't like it then the price of the 9900 in white will go down. Win win situation

My contract with my 9800 is up in December. Just about the right time for the new BBs.

I can wait.

I would say wait for the bb10 devices if your getting bored with your torch the 9810 doesn't really change much, the bb10 devices are completely different.
