There is a definite lag in the phone when flipping open the slide to go into regular kb mode (which I prefer over the touchscreen).
I will say this...the Torch is a VERY good phone for a combination of fun/business...but the 9700 kept me happy because the battery life was endless after heavy usage and I dont ever recall a time where the 9700 lagged ever!
the camera on the torch I will DEFINITELY miss...that quality was great and the big screen...eh Im not that big a fan of it.
I do miss my ability to text more than 10 contacts at a time (which is my biggest issue)
So, after actually trying the phone..doing the updates...and not being quick to judge...theres definitely a blackberry for every1!
And for me, its the bold 9700 =)
