Agreed. Had to go back to mine. Just couldn't give it up.

I'm curious-why did you switch back? I currently use the 9700 which I love, but I just went today to check out the Torch & I have to say I really, really loved it! I am seriously considering switching in a few weeks. What specifically made you return to your 9700?

Agreed. Had to go back to mine. Just couldn't give it up.

I went back to the 9700 after two weeks with the Torch hoping OS6 would leak soon because that's all I really like with the 9800. After seeing how OS6 ran on non-touchscreen devices, I went back and got the 9800 and recently fell in love with it. It truly does it all, and OS6 seems like it was made for touchscreen devices...

I'm interested to test it out, I love my 9700 and would like an updated version.

I was just the opposite. I had a 9700 and was hoping for a touchscreen slider from RIM. The 9700 is a great phone but I can' t give up the increased functionality of having the touchscreen, trackpad and physical keyboard.

allways thought the 9700 was a little bulky(could be why it's called the BOLD), only reason i never bought one and stayed with my trusty 8310(the thing just works no issues ever). After using the torch for the last month or so theres no way in **** i could go back to a non touchscreen. Between the touch screen, trackpad, and physical k/b it just gets things done, hands down way faster at productivity once u get used to it.

I was thinking this earlier, my Torch was ordered yesterday and is currently en route via courier to my house, and I cant wait.

But what do I do with my Bold, I dont want to sell it as I do need a backup phone incase any problems arise with my Torch. It just seems too good a phone to be laying in a drawer gathering dust though.

I still have all my past Bberries. Sometimes I feel a wave of nostalgia and I pick up a past device. I still have my 9700 and I'd been thinking of swapping out the SIM card, but I just LOVE this Torch!!!!

The 9700 was an amazing phone, but I wouldn't go back to 5.0 or a non-touch 6.0 device for anything.

I dropped my 9700 in my garage about 3 weeks ago and the speaker stopped working. I couldn't get ring tone or use speakerphone. I went to AT&T and was going to just get another 9700. After all, I had insurance! Well, even with insurance a new 9700 would cost me $123 so I figured for another $75 why not upgrade? AT&T told me the 9700 could not be repaired. I upgraded to the Torch. At first, I didn't like it much. I wasn't comfortable with a touchscreen. Now, 3 weeks later, I love this phone! However, I still love the 9700 too. I found a place that could fix the 9700 so AT&T was not exactly honest about it not being repairable. I'm anxious to see how OS6 works on the 9700. I'll keep the 9700 because I love it and need a back up.

I can honestly say I'm thinking of a white blackberry 9780!

Browsing on the 9700 isn't good enough by today's standards. It just isn't. I really like the 9700, but I need the Torch for browsing.

Since I have gone Torch, I am not sure that I could go back to no touchscreen, not as much screen size, pinch to zoom, swipe and double-tap. The Torch seems like the best combination of a touchscreen device and a 9700.

Agreed. There's no way I can go without tabbed browsing (nevermind speed and rendering capabilities) at this point.

Spent two weeks with the Torch and it was an awesome device! I know some people had build issues and battery life trouble but I have to say mine was top quality and I got about 1.5 - 2 days of use before charging, depending on useage of course. BUT I ended up going back to my 9700 and the Torch went to the wife.
Ultimately there was nothing WRONG with the Torch - IMO it is a solid device, browsing is awesome and OS6 is great. I think I might have just been so used to the 9700 that it was hard for me to "relearn" on the Torch.

9780 might be the next device for me although I am curious as to whether or not RIM will actually bring a touch screen/QWERTY candy bar style phone out (Magnum)?
