I'm thinking about getting a Blackberry Torch and was hoping for some feedback on those that have one or have played with one.....

Some kind of expensive flashlight for Brits to play with?

I looked at the torch quite extensively. On paper, it's quite a gadget. But once I had one in my hand and I was playing around with it, it lost it's appeal for me. I wanted a blackberry specifically for it's ease and design for messaging. I ended up going with the blackberry bold instead. The bold is simple, fast, and does what I need, (ie messaging, email, and internet).

If what you are looking for is a classic blackberry with a few iPhone features, then the torch is for you.

The Torch is the first Blackberry I've considered just because the keyboard is hidden away.. I like their features, but just not a fan of the surface keyboard, so knowing the Torch is a slider is my reason for being drawn to it. That and it's a touch screen as well.

Thanks for the heads up.
