That's not surprising. I was shocked that RIM would even put it at the same price point as an iP4 or a Captivate on AT&T.
Microsoft is taking a fresh approach with WindowsPhone 7. They've learned from their mistakes, and have a new opportunity ahead of them. If they handle it right, they might shock a lot of people in the sector.
No.
Especially since all of the palm folks who developed the webos and phone have since left HP. I think one of the worst companies that could of purchased palm was HP, there's little synergy in both products and corporate culture. Just look at the mass exodus of palm employees.
I returned my ip4 because of all the dropped calls and prox. sensor issues. Decided to get the Torch which as a long time BB user, its definitly a great device. There are some lag issues at times but its RIM's best device to date.
There are some things I love about OS 6 compared to iOS4. The notification bar incorporates all things into one place and is configurable (as well as different tones for different things; messages by contact, gtalk, etc.). Also LOVE the follow up flags w/notification. And the social feeds app is really something I like. Posting to twitter, facebook and myspace in one operation is sweet.
How apple doesn't address these small things, like configurable tones for apps, is beyond me. But I still would love to get back to the ip4 is they would only fix the phone part.

True...that's a nice touch to be able to check things from home screen quickly. Also like the fact you can turn on/off wifi, bluetooth, etc from the home screen.
Yep another welcomed feature. I think RIM did its homework well, but fell short on the hardware side. A faster processor would help with some of the navigation lag issues. Browser is light-years ahead of previous OS's but not as good as the ip4.
I still have 3 weeks to decide if I want to return it for another try w/ip4.

I am by no means a bb fan, but I got to play with a torch for a while this morning and I was pleasantly surprised. I found the touch screen appropriately responsive and easy to use, the hardware solid, and the keyboard really good. All in all, it was the most impressed I've ever been with a bb.
That said, I will not be trading in my ip4 any time soon. I'm just surprised that someone who already liked bb was not happy with the torch because even I as a bb hater found it pretty nice.

My fiancé wanted to buy one last weekend, so I called 4 apple stores - 2 had the 32 GB only and 2 had none. My local AT&T store had one 32 left (no 16s) and best buy had a few 32s. So yeah, they are still hard to get some places, but supply is finally catching up with demand (it's been almost 2 months - had to happen eventually).
