My wife and I got that Blackberry Torch when it came out -- Touch screen with a slide out keyboard. I really liked it at first, but have had some issues with it lately. Nothing major on my end, but my wife's has some sort of issue timing out and with the operating system. I don't use it to access the web very often -- use my Kindle Fire for that.

My next phone will likely be an iphone. Seems like the market is weeding out anything that's not an Android or Apple product.

I bought my "new" Curve a few months ago for $72 from an online dealer. I assume it's a new model, but the software issues make me wonder. My "old" Curve didn't seem as balky and slow as this thing.

I have a Blackberry and it is fine. I don't use the touchscreen. Of course I still think the NES is still the 'bomb'.

I just want to reiterate how painful it is use this thing sometimes. The interface is slow, causing me to launch the wrong aps. And once a day I have to cold boot the thing after trying to launch my cardinals.com hotkey. [expletive] Canadians.

Therein lies the problem when you spend more on jeans than your phone.

Blackberry phones are really lagging behind at this point. A friend of mine let me use his a few weeks ago and it felt downright archaic.

My BB is useful for sending smoke signals.
