FUUUUCK! My 9000 died on me today. Blackscreen + blinking red light.
Choked..
Thinking of dropping by Rogers tomorrow and renew my contract and hopefully get the Torch. I think there's a year left on my contract. How much do you think the phone will cost me?

Hmmm looks interesting http://www.otterbox.com/blackberry-c...r-series-case/
does it add much bulk to the phone? where did you get it from and how much? I can't seem to see a price on the website. Does it have a screen protector as well?
Found this on ebay but what is the normal going price? http://cgi.ebay.ca/OtterBox-Commuter...item3a5eb4c5d7
I read a couple reviews and people said it's bulky and the top slides around and scraches the frame of the phone. Have you found any issues like that?

I havent had any issues of it sliding around..unless its like..spinning the phone on the table..haha
how the top if made will scratch the bezel, but if your not rough with the phone, these designs work just as fine

I was in Seattle and the store wouldn't sell me the torch without a contract.
I'm sure it's a great phone but the processor speed is the same as the bold 9700 except the torch is running the new operating system. It still doesn't come close to the iphone or android phones. In the US, it seems most of the people in our age group are converting to android phones.

I've just got off the phone with Rogers, and they've sent me from profile > tech support > relations.
This is what I've gotten from them, I was on a 3 year old retention plan that they gave me back then and they gave me the same one but with NO SAF!! INstead its the cheaper version of it the 2.95 thing plus the 30 dollars 6 gb and the choice for me to upgrade into a blackberry 9800. I can't wait for the phone its a very good phone!!!

I just switched over to the 9800 from 9000 and been using it for a day and it seems to work pretty well. I do notice some lag randomly when using it though even though I haven't downloaded any apps on it yet. Also the BBM isn't showing the recent updates for most of my contacts, only a select few.. anyone else have that problem?

Well from what I found for WA state anyway. There's a few threads on HoFo about it.
