Would Torch cure my Bold 9000 problems?
Would moving to the Torch solve these problems I have had with my Bold 9000:
1. The Bold speakers. My original Bold essentially went silent--one couldn't hear the phone ring. I found a posting that mentioned this was a common problem arising from a defecive speaker design, and suggested a fix that involving putting some paper inside the back cover to separate it more from the phone. I tried it and it fixed my problem, but I eventually just got a warranty replacment. It worked fine for several months and then the same problem re-occurred. Warranty's expired so I am using the paper fix workaround. Has anyone had similar problems with the Torch? The Bold speaker is great when it works....
2. Memory. I use the Bold with a Enterprise server for complete integration with facets of Outlook. Very important to me. Then I have a variety of applications I really like--Poynt, New York Times, Google Apps, Google Voice, Tripit. In England I add an English train timetable app and a London subway app. I constantly have to reboot because the Bold just does not have sufficient memory for these apps. Finally got a reboot app so that I don't have to do constant battery pulls. This is very annoying--really. I know the Torch is supposed to have more memory, but does it really make a lot more application memory available? That's the key.
3. GPS. It often takes my Bold quite a while before it can get a GPS reading, even when I'm outside. Which makes some apps fairly useless (navigating using Google is pretty useless with a cell site location "accurate to within 2000 meters"!).
4. Declining battery life. Used to last more than a day, now lasts less than a day if I am making frequent data or app use.
Finally, one feature of the Bold I really like is the ability to recharge it by dropping it on the accessory stand which also turns it to the bedside clock mode automatically. Is that also available on the Torch?
Thanks for your thoughts.
