Well there must be a reason every review compares phones to the iPhone. It Is the best overall device.

The best overall device would not have an antenna flaw inhibiting reception. It the best media player and social networking device that a phone attached to it. It has a lot of great features and it is too easy of a comparison which is not a valid one given the Torch's current specs. When the devices are eventually more evenly matched, then let's compare then. "Best" is always subjective.
like i said kid it depends what you want it for. are you looking to play games on it? apps? that kind of thing? then get the iphone.
if you want a tool not a toy, something that provides amazing security, encrypts your msgs and provides bbm and pin to pin msging get a blackberry. blackberries are tools and iphones are toys. have your pick
when if I want neither? when if I want a blackberry because I like the messaging and fast email notifications and ease of use with drag and drop for my videos and music? I mean that's the original reason why I left the iphone for my blackberry. I wanted a physical keyboard with good email notifications and a nice way to handle beejive and a decent browser. Didn't really care that much for security and encryptions and pin to pin. Blackberries just seem to do what I wanted to do in a easy package. Only disappointment I have with them is the lack of apps/games and the price of them.
Played with my kid's iPhone. yuck. the interface would have me throwing it out the window within hours of purchase.
Played with the Torch. Wow. I have spent at least an hour contemplating a change to that beauty. It has all of the i and none of the phony.
The best phone for me is still my 9000. I know how to use it. It works. I dropped it five feet onto a concrete floor. It dropped my call. We're even. I've had it my pocket commando stylee for the last year and a half. Shows a little wear. The 9800 does so much I can't find a use for. I don't game. If I need internet in the field I can tether a laptop. I don't know what bbm is. I have a facebook account I used once to get some vendor data. Now Griselda Snagglesnatch wants to be my friend. Thank you facebook for letting me turn off email alerts. Apparently, by todays standards, I'm about as social as VD.
Anyone seen the new Activia media blitz? That logo... What's next? The slogan "Your t*rd, delivered?"
The iphone is the best phone overall. It doesn't mean that its the best phone for everyone's need, that's why their is android, there is iphone, there is free phones, etc.
The antenna issue is overblown and the iphone 4 battery last all day and then some(not true for iphone, 3g or 3gs).
No phone is perfect. The torch has some issues, but in my opinion its an easy choice:
You love blackberry: torch
You want what iphones have: IP4
Again, I have tried the iphone, got tired of the iphone and I don't care about all the things iphone has to offer.
I love my BB9700, but I want the new OS 6, bigger screen, and a better browser(torch)

you dont seem like a blackberry user. stick to iphone/android.
Look I'm not trying to start WWIII, but iphone does have push email, so all those comments previously are ridiculous. The question was asked Torch or i phone, just gave my thoughts.

Never tried pushmail on iphone. at least it's not famous for it.
Then the question is rather simple now: keyboard or not, BBM or not. if no, go with iPhone.
Look not trying to start WWIII, the question asked was Torch or iPhone, all I was expressing was that I too had a hard decision, but decided to go with the iPhone. In addition what makes you think the iPhone doesn't have push email, because it does, if you want to criticize me for my thoughts fine, but know your facts first. To set the record straight, I own my own business, with a number of employees, who also have switched, and well past 28 years old, but thanks for the compliment.

It's hard to get credence for what you're trying to say just because you own a business. There are other professions which need BB capabilities more than some businesses.
However that's a thin line - people do knowingly give up what's useful on a BB to go for eye-candy fad; they justify it by telling themselves they can "work around" and "make do" with it. Nothing wrong with that, personal choices.
I won't lie I went from bb9700 to I4 and 2weeks Later I'm back the phone was OK the battery life blowed and you have to hold the phone a certain way. Not for you I'm getting the Torch Thursday and i cant wait. You'll be unhappy with the I4 trust me BB is the way to go
