Hi there,
I am originally a storm 1 owner from Telus and although I loved it, I have to admit I sometimes envied the snappiness of other phones. I skipped the Storm 2 altogether because my budget didn't like buying two phones within the same year almost. With the coming of the Torch, it was the perfect opportunity for me to upgrade even though I was temped by the iphone 4, and even was willing to wait for the storm 4 next year. However, I do not regret my decision:
This phone is amazing. The OS6 really is refreshing and provides a more seamless experience. App integration into the core OS is very useful. If you need more details, check out the comprehensive
review from crackberry.
Now for my impressions: Responsiveness is very good. Coming from a Storm myself, let me tell you that you'll love it. You feel like you're using something that just works. No lags, no freezes, it works. Accelerometer is snappy, you won't have any troubles switching from landscape to portrait mode. Opening applications is instant.
Also , you'll feel like you can finally use the blackberry to it's full potential, opening multiple applications, multiple tabs in the browser and still be able to make a phone call or listing to music, all this without lag. Of course you'll have the occasional slowdown if you push it, but generally you won't feel like the device is slowing you down. It follows you.
In terms of reception, it's also better. There was an area in my house where I would get only one bar on the old CDMA network. I now get 3 bars there. not the best but good improvement. Other than that I get full bars basically everywhere in the Montreal area.
My recommendation? GET IT!
