How exciting. lol I had a Blackberry 9700 and then I went to Android on Sprint (Samsung Epic) but I got annoyed with 4G disconnects and then I could barely connect to 3G and then battery life was soooooo bad so I gave up. lol Nice phone tho. I came back to Blackberry. I have the White Blackberry 9800.
I love touch screens. hehe04-03-11 05:43 PM - why did you choose the torch over the 9700? I'm asking because im thinking of moving to the bold touch because of the keyboard, but not sure yet because of the screen size :P.
Would be nice to know why people chose one over the other to make my comparisons and make a final decision soon
Thanks in advance!04-03-11 06:36 PM - I would strongly advise against 6.0.0.56 BBM. True, there's less lag, but it's damn near impossible to save your spot either.
You want no lag? Here's how. Before you close the group chat, scroll up into it, then hit the end button. When you go back, the convo opens immediately, and exactly where you left it.
There's also the loss of groups in your message folder, if you like notifications sent there. Fancy Character's smileys not working in groups or individually chats. That tab isn't there to use. Couldn't send a picture from my camera, or the media folder to a contact, only from their chat. Had old messages popping up all the time too.
Now, will you have all these errors? Maybe not, but I'll bet you'll have enough of them to switch back. Especially if the only reason you loaded it, was for group chat.
Oh, and if you aren't experienced at file manipulation on your BlackBerry, I wouldn't even think about it.
My 2 cents, plus a silver dollars.
Edit - Dang it! Forgot to mention how much more of a resource hog it is. Among other things, it took forever to open any picture sent to me.Last edited by BigBadWulf; 04-04-11 at 06:33 PM. Reason: old age

Dropped it like it was hot after an extra day.........last night.I would strongly advise against 6.0.0.56 BBM. True, there's less lag, but it's damn near impossible to save your spot either.

If you're comfortable with updating the OS, as others have said, the latest .526 is very nice and solid. If you like it now, go to the newest OS and start loving it.How exciting. lol I had a Blackberry 9700 and then I went to Android on Sprint (Samsung Epic) but I got annoyed with 4G disconnects and then I could barely connect to 3G and then battery life was soooooo bad so I gave up. lol Nice phone tho.

I'm torn over this one myself. I came from the 9000 and debated long and hard over whether to stick with the candybar or try something new. I wanted a better browser than OS5 and a bigger screen than the Bold, but I have to have a keyboard, so Torch won. And I've loved it.why did you choose the torch over the 9700? I'm asking because im thinking of moving to the bold touch because of the keyboard, but not sure yet because of the screen size :P.

Thanks in advance!
But now they have these new models coming out which I'm very much looking forward to; right now I'm leaning toward the Bold Touch because of that keyboard w/ touch screen, but at the same time I'd hate to give up any of the other bennies of the Torch. What would cement it for me is if they made the Torch a sideways slider, but that's not looking too likely. That decision is definitely going to need many visits to the toy...uhh, phone store.
Now it's 4!LOL My post got one star.
