Man I left blackberry for 4 months because they wouldn't make a bold 9000 replacement....and their new phones looks weak compared to the comp...and dated.
Well I couldn't stand it anymore. I hated my ******* phone soooo ******* much. Another brands smartphone that will remain nameless.
My friends actually started to call me and say why dont you message back. I would say cuz i hate using my phone. So they stopped messaging me. Only calls.
now...
I'm waiting for my torch in the mail. The phone i used to make fun of is the phone i bought. geeez
I HATED NOT HAVING PUSH EMAIL. I would miss every important email asking me for quotes. Also, losing BBM was tough too but I dealt with it fine.
The email thing SPUN me good tho because it cost me money. God it feels good to be almost back.
I'm never leaving BB again. I don't care how underpowered, how **** res, how anything. I realized spec's and power are not everything...get what makes you happy.
I can't wait to get my playbook with my new 55 dollar rogers 1gig shared data plan.
Now I just need to get the Bold 9000 Sonar ping sound for the torch.
I hope it comes tomorrow.
/end rant!04-14-11 01:15 AM - I am new to the Torch and have to say it already replaced my netbook for simplified tasks. Don't know how to not play it day & night. Business apps are class, the best is UpVise, superb! Games are just as strong and I love my PBA Bowling, Bubble Birds, Guns & Glory and the most will be Pinball Deluxe.
Opening microsoft office & pdf components is a breeze by using Docs2Go and editing photo as simple using PhotoEditor. Have to say it covers most of everyday tasks excellently.
And last but not least are email applications. This is what it handled superbly. My office emails coming in on time and gmail isn't left behind as well. Overall Torch is a blazing blazing office & multimedia tools minus high res & front facing camera. Who cares the res when I can view my Diddy - Dirty Money.mp4 51.9Mb video very very sharp & crispy! (I know the loudest volume still can't beat 3rd quarter of SE)
Welcome back & have a long stay
04-14-11 04:55 AM - Welcome back! Glad you've seen the light! Kidding. I think a good number of people switching out to other devices end up missing the amazing communication of a BlackBerry. The push emails and everything is amazing. Some people don't care about push email, but others who are in business definitely need to have it.
I don't understand everyone who says the screen isn't high-res, it's beautiful to me. But I'd take a less high-res screen over longer battery life any day. What good is a big, powerful, super high-res screen when you have constantly charge the dang thing?04-14-11 05:58 AM - Welcome back mate. Like you i also moved to the dark side giving up my Bold 9700 for an HTC Desire HD which is a great phone, but i think that once you have owned a BB its hard to make the switch to a different brand. The DHD lasted 4 months before it was sold and the 9800 purchased and boy am i glad to be back04-14-11 07:14 AM
- I too, have returned this month, to my trusted Bold 9000
(from Android world). sometimes you take things for granted, you get caught up with all that great marketing, 1GHz CPU , HD vid etc, but what you are not told, is that its got a crap battery life, you will need to travel with a car battery just to get through the day.
I learned a hard lesson, missed a connecting flight in Frankfurt, had my all bells and then some Android phone, after sending a few emails etc., I realized I would need to find a power supply very soon or I would have a phone that was not fit for anything.
As soon as got back home, open my box of old phones took out BB 9000 recharged it got it reactivated....the funny thing is I get through a whole with BB 9000 even with original battery .
I do not want to be cutting edge anymore.....trailing edge will do just fine so I now have 9800 at home waiting for me.

Had to carry a spare battery when out and about, charger at home, one in the office, even put one behind the bar in my local.I too, have returned this month, to my trusted Bold 9000 (from Android world). sometimes you take things for granted, you get caught up with all that great marketing, 1GHz CPU , HD vid etc, but what you are not told, is that its got a crap battery life, you will need to travel with a car battery just to get through the day.
