I like that the arrow is around and u can scroll around with it like a mouse.

Just picked one up yesterday, pretty awesoome phone I must say!!
Browsing is smooth, but loading times is a bit slow on data intensive sites. Its definitely do-able for me though as being able to type faster makes up for that. All in all, the whole build quality is really good!! Posted via RS Mobile | |

| Rogers BlackBerry Torch 9800 will “begin arriving” on September 27th, online ordering available on the 24th
The BlackBerry Torch 9800 is coming to Canada, just not as fast as expected. Bell and Virgin have pushed this back until October 1st, TELUS has remained silent on the matter and Rogers has stuck to their guns about launching on the original date of September 24th.
Thanks to one of our tipsters for letting us know about an internal bulletin that went out tonight. Here’s the deal. Rogers will launch the Torch 9800 on the 24th through online ordering but the physical device will not be available for sale at retail locations. The Torch will “begin arriving” at stores during the week of September 27th and units will be in short supply but stores can take orders.
Pricing is as follows:
Outright $609.99
MTM SRP $559.99
1 Year SRP $559.99
2 Year SRP $559.99 (voice only)
2 Year SRP $529.99 (voice+data)
3 Year SRP $499.99 (voice only)
3 Year SRP $449.99 (voice + data)
3 Year SRP $199.99 (promo v+d)
**Promotional price available to 3 year Voice and Data activations with a minimum combined monthly service fee of $45, or 3 year Voice Plan & 3 year Data Sharing Plan, or 3 year Voice & Data Sharing Plan or 3 year $40 Blackberry Social Networking Plan. http://mobilesyrup.com/2010/09/22/ro...e-on-the-24th/ | |

I finally got to hold this thing and see how it feels in my hands.
It's pretty nice I think, I got no idea what ppl are talkin about saying it's top heavy seems fine to me also someone said here or another site that he couldn't open his phone with 1 hand lol it's simple there's no problem. The phone was a demo (dummy) so I'm not sure if they make them any different.
-the slider seemed good
-the buttons sorta seem like there about to peel off tho there really week. (I'm talking about the top buttons like the call, back, and blackberry one)
-the keyboard isn't hard to type on, I thought it would be difficult bx of the amount of space but it's pretty simple. Maybe the keys are just stiff but they seemed hard to push in, not as nice and soft as pushing in the 9000 or 9700 keys.
But so far this phone seems alright I'm going to go to bestbuy tomorrow if my friend tells me they've got it running and give it a complete try out Posted via RS Mobile | |

^ Im talking from my experience playing around with a fully functional one in the states.
Lol, people add their bbm to the phone, so i was looking through it and all these people keep asking, is anyone there? and then you can see some convos with random people at the store playing around with the phone.

i just got mine today
love the weight, feels solid
one of the biggest thing i missed about my N91 was how solid it felt.
The 9000 Bold felt too flimsy
however, the one thing i dont like about the torch so far is the keyboard...feels too "thin" i'm always worried that i'm gonna break it. but i'm sure i'll get used to it
got it for $200 as a hardware upgrade at Tbooth in richmond center.
