Sold my Bold 9700 for $200 and paid another $200 for the Torch and so far its great. I loved my 9700 and have taken it to the World Cup in South Africa and was an amazing device there and even to Mexico for weeks at a time. Using a different sim card or else I would have been $$$ in debt from roaming charges.
Just gotta say that overall this device is sure fancy and pretty and not as quick as the bold was, but still is very useful and great for checking sport scores!
