- Try the keypad when viewing in landscape. Something the 9900 and 9860 both do better than the 9810. Truth is when people surf with the 9810 they turn the phone sideways so they can utilize the screen properly and the physical keypad becomes useless. Why flip-flop between physical and virtual keypads when the 9900 has a better physical keypad and the 9860 has a bigger screen? The 9810 just combines the worst traits of the other two, not the best. Smaller screen like the 9900 and lack of a decent physical keypad like the 9860. Its stupid.02-27-12 10:58 PMLike 0

- So you have followed around everyone with a 9810 and know how they surf the net with it? Interesting, but may be flawed. I seldom do that so I can surf and use the keyboard without a problem. It's great to have choice and with the 9810 I have a variety of ways to use it depending on the situation. People should use what is best for them and ignore people who attempt to say one device is better than the other for everyone.

I knowingly dicided to go for an even number voting because an odd number of votes will give me an inevitable result. I want my fone to win bang on.
5-5: that won't happen... and if then I'll wait for three more votes.

- Get the 9900 bigger screen. More memory. And way sexiier.

- We have a 9810, and I have spent plenty of time with it. Its the only Blackberry that uses Portrait with a physical keypad. The truth is you do use the virtual keypad and you know it. As for veiwing the web in portrait? For what? Maybe if you used your smartphone strictly as a reader that might have some merit. Personally, I don't think you care one bit what the OP gets, I think its merely important that you defend your phone that you bought because it was 50 Balloons.

That little bold part up there (no pun intended) is exactly the problem I had with the 9800/9810, especially since I despise typing on a touch screen. I, as I am sure most users do, most often browse in landscape mode. If you're just consuming-browsing, that's fine. But if you're doing anything that requires interaction (like, say, making smart-a$$ posts on CrackBerry), you have to turn the Torch right-side up and open the slider, type on a screen that's now a lot narrower than it was in landscape mode, then close the slider and flip it around again to go back to landscape browsing. If you have to do any kind of typing, you lose the biggest benefit of the larger display -- it's width -- with the 9800/9810. This is one of the big reasons why I prefer the 9900 -- not to mention the keyboard is just plain bigger and more comfortable -- and why I would kill for a landscape-slider BB to truly get the best of both worlds.02-28-12 05:46 PMLike 0 - Not to hijack this thread, but it's already gotten a bit goofy, so here goes.

- There have been many polls, most come up about 75% in favor of browsing landscape and 25% favor portrait.
Opening the phone
Turing the phone
Typing
Turning the phone back
Closing the phone
PITA
You will end up typing on a virtual keypad and using a smaller screen than the one on the 9860. Its dumb.
Or instead of the 9860 you could scrifice screen size for a real keypad.
Its 50 bucks, if your on a budget, its perfect, otherwise, the 9900 or the 9860 will serve you better.

You were mislead. They have the same processor; same memory.

That's just my personal opinion though.
