    after 2 years Im coming back to a Blackberry

    Just ordered my white 9800 Torch which will be here on Wednesday. Ive tried the iphone which was unreliable and dull, and even had a go with android which was ok, but I miss my Blackberry fix so I had little hesitation in returning

    Welcome back.
    Please do take the time to update the OS to .337, .448 or .450 and give yourself some time to adapt to and experience OS6 before you compare to the other devices.
    Cheers.

    ok - i've just got it and I must say my first impressions are very good

    initial set up was quick, the screen looks good and the touch-screen is good enough to make me think that I will use it more than the keypad

    Its a handsome phone as well - I got the white version

    Will post more as I use the different features later today

    Hope you enjoy your Torch! I loved mine...until I literally crushed it by going over it with my ATV. Waiting for the Torch 2 now.

    Bad Qbnkelt, bad! I know the Torch hurt your hand, but this degree of retaliation is totally unjustified! Naturally, you shall be spending a night in the tiger pit.

    I've played with it a little now and im impressed

    One of the girls at work saw it and is ordering one herself.

    Because I had an 8310 a while back the phone is easy to use, but its like somebody made Blackberry's sexier - its a beautiful handset by any standards.

    I just think that compared to the iPhone 4 its got character and personality where the iPhone had none.

    My only complaint so far is that I wish it came with a pouch of some sort - other than that its excelllent!

    Absence does make the heart grow fonder. Sometimes the grass looks greener over the septic tank. You go to something else because you think you want it, only to discover you miss what you left. Welcome Back. The Torch is an amazing phone.

    There is no Skype for the 9800 with AT&T. Only BlackBerry models with Verizon can use Skype. This makes me sad, as my husband is deployed overseas and my home computer is broken, so no Skype for us. But luckily his deployment is short. But as a military wife, having Skype would make my BlackBerry experience 10x better. Aside from that, I adore my 9800.
