Yo dude, I have the blackberry 9700bold, its the same one before they made the torch, only difference in apperance is the torch slides open to get the keyboard. Dude I strongly reccomend a blackberry, everything is easy to use, email system is ace just like looking on your pc, I rarely use the pc to go here, and I'm on all day everyday. Txt messages, camera,layout, honestly dude my next phone will be a bb. Love em, and you get bbm which is a pretty smart messaging service for blackberry users. Mate has the torch and likes it. Yes its a wide phone, but it never feels wider than ur average phone, probs better cos the screesn wider. Never feels big. Blackberys.FTW
