Yay, another great "I'm happy with my Torch" post.
Brigadier, I'm curious, what are the things you miss from your Nokia? I've had a couple Nokia smartphones but it's been well over a year. I had an E72 for a while. I think my crackberry addiction is so strong and so well-fed it's almost impossible for me to like anything else. LOL.
I also love my Torch. Have since I got on launch day from the moment I first fired it up. I loaded up .214 a few days ago and just read .225 has leaked so I'll be loading that up this afternoon.
There are pros and cons to being an early adopter. For me, the pros outweigh the cons on the Torch, by a country mile.09-13-10 01:35 PM - Well said.
It saddens me to see posts in this thread where users are thinking of dumping their memberships because of the insane amount of trolling and hating going on here. Or a poster asking a mod to close their thread because the trolls and haters have reduced to to garbage.
I'm an infrequent poster but a long time lurker here at CB. I can tell you in the past, it was never as bad here as it is right now. I came in looking for info on the 9800 as I was ready to go back to a BB after using the HTC Tilt2 for awhile.
I couldn't believe how many threads with informative posts and threads with users asking questions were just plain being assaulted by obvious trolls and haters. I don't blame anyone if they go elsewhere for information, but we all lose when that happens and the trolls and haters win. WE DON'T WANT THAT!
I've been around boards long enough to weed out the useless morons and add them to my "ignore list" right away but others may not know you can do that or how to do it. That's why I posted up my long rant.
People just go to your user CP and add the trolls and hater's user names to your "ignore list". You will no longer have to see their mindless posts. If everybody who dislikes the useless posts of the worst offenders does this, they will leave. If you see a new user come on, shoot them a PM to welcome them and fill them in on who to add to their ignore lists. There are more of us so it will be easy to drive them away. Remember Don't feed the trolls!
Again, well said. I do believe the mods need to do a better job at keeping the trolls and haters in check. If just plain makes sense and makes for a more user friendly and informative board. I helped a friend run a fairly large BBS at one time and spent time helping out as a mod on that. Of course we were called "SYSOP'S" back then and having to mod that thing was almost a full time job.
Sometimes it's hard to keep an eye on everyone who's posting. That's where we as users can help out. If you see any poster who you think is just trying to spew out BS and H&D to derail a thread, you can always contact one of the mods and have them look into it. Believe me the mods are there to help and they actually care about the forums they look after, so you can rest assured they WILL follow up and take whatever action they deem necessary. Depending on the severity of the offending posts this could be cancelling a users registration or in extreme cases outright banning of the user forever. I know this to be true. I've witnessed it many times on many different boards and forums.
Think of it a a forum "block watch" the good users prevail by alerting the mods and the abusers are driven out. In the end everyone has a better experience here and isn't that the reason we all come to CB to begin with? To talk Berrys, seek out information, and help out fellow users
Thanks to everyone who posted positive comments regarding my anti troll post and have a great day.09-14-10 12:01 AM - I still find much useful info on hear and I do not take part in BB bashing. Some of the things that I don't like I have either 1 learn how to fix on this forum or 2 using the .214 upgrade which has lots of info on this forum. To all the trolls with their other phones I simply ignore their posts.Well said.

Posted from my CrackBerry at wapforums.crackberry.com09-14-10 10:59 AM - I miss the talking ringtones - phones says caller's name when ringing, and I miss wi-fi that works reliably and is fast. The wi-fi on my unit connects, is quick, then slows to a crawl.Yay, another great "I'm happy with my Torch" post.
