Nice, I'd love to add something more productive to this post other than "I'm still waiting"...
Congrats, I currently have an iPhone 3g and am seriously thinking about jumping ship. I've been fortunate not to have too many 'call' issues but have had some lag & crash issues for sure. I still like the iPhone but I'm really looking forward to trying out something new. From what I've seen the layout of the OS 6 looks very productive and time conserving. Can't wait to try one out!08-24-10 04:11 AM - I'm in Canada as well and helped my boyfriend buy one off of craigslist yesterday for a decent price... I was iffy about buying one after reading about so many hardware issues on the forum so I decided to let him have it first even though we both kind of wanted one. After playing around with it, I realized I shouldn't have told him about the person selling it and bought it for myself lol
Darn! Hopefully I can get my hands on one soon!
His has absolutely NO (and I mean NO) wiggle when the slider was opened, no clacking or looseness when the slider was closed when pressing on the touchscreen, no tinny call quality... It was just perfect. And it could have been mine!
I'm too nice.
Canadians, if you're thinking about going down to the States to pick one up or ordering one online from Amazon or wherever, I suggest you do it! Definitely worth it if you are a die-hard Blackberry person.08-24-10 02:00 PM - hmmm....something to think about, no doubt.

I hope RIM keeps the screen res "as is" on future hardware builds as it will only enhance battery life.
I do have one MAJOR dilemma, I'm loosing sleep and it's tearing me apart.
I'm torn between:
1-Do I keep it in the Otter Box with a screen protector for max. protection?
2-Do I get a sleek Case-Mate Barely There?
OR
3-Do I go "commando" and "wrap it up" with an Invisible Shield full body?
I'm really torn here.
I'm leaning towards Inv.Shld. mainly so I can show it off and hold onto it even w/dry hands.
I'm feeling rather pathetic right now.
My wife just shakes her head.

Dude you should get it I had the iphone 3g also and after two days of the torch release I went to the blackberry and I'm also new to this whole blackberry thing (literally) and to be honest I don't regret it you should get it its totally worth it!!
Posted from my CrackBerry at wapforums.crackberry.com08-25-10 08:07 AM - On day three with my new Torch. I think it's a pretty nice BB. I've been using (and still am) a Storm 2 and it has been my trusty workhorse since January (still on my original). I use it mainly as a communication and PDA decice. I don't do games, themes or other useless things aside from facebook. Even that is just for keeping in touch, no games. Rhapsody is ok, but lately I've been getting an error after so many songs play.
Anyway, back to the Torch. I love the solid build. Call quality has been great with the phone as well as my jawbone. Screen texting is great, I default to suretype, don't really like condensed keys. Physical keyboard is were I slow down. It will take me a bit more time getting used to it. If I decide to keep it, I need to find a hardshell case to add some bulk. That is what has helped me text so much faster on my Storm 2. The trackpad is the best feature for any Storm user. Going back and makin corrections is such a joy now. On a Storm, it's the biggest pain.
It is obvious that the Torch is meant to be a social device from the get go. So much intergration with facebook, twitter etc. The web experience is decent. It still doesn't measure up to Android or iPhone, but that's fine for me. I need the device more for whtit does best, communications.
My only issue is now, What phone do I keep? My Storm is so familiar and has been great. The Torch is also perfect fo me (keyboard learning curve a must for me) I have no real issue with either carrier in the lehigh valley and I don't travel much. I do eventually want to go down to one carrier again. This is becoming an expensive hobby
