Well, before I crushed my Torch I found myself browsing a lot more than I used to. I hated the Blackberry browser and really looked forward for one that wasn't painful to use. I got Bolt and used that. After getting the Torch I was able to use the stock browser on it, everything rendered beautifully.
I believe that the issue may be as a poster noted above - if you frequently visit mobile friendly sites you might not see a significant difference. However, to do things like shop online, the Torch was wonderful. I really miss it.
