I would be curious to know as well as I'm contemplating getting the 9850.
The only issue I have had is learning to type on the keyboard. Other than that, the longer I have it the more I like it. I don't see how I'll ever want to look at a smaller screen again.
I was over visiting the Crackberry site and found an update showing the most recent (latest Official 9850 OS 7.0.0.362 Panhandle Communications (PTCI). I downloaded it last night and did see a few improvements one being the ability to swipe the keyboard instead of having to try and hit that SMALL arrow up at the T and Y key.

With very little in the way of apps for the OS 7 9850 backing up and making sure all else worded took far less time than working with the S2.
Harmleing68,
I have to agree with you that the 9850 at least the one I have has shown no problems or issues that will cause me to go back. I am OK on the typing thing and just waiting for more apps to show in support of this phone.
Nice, that is a handy feature, good find.Quote:

I'm going to be doing a video review on what I think of the 9850 soon.
looking forward to seeing it.
Damn, now I'm back to wanting to wait for AT&T to release the 9860 instead of jumping on a 9810.....Quote:

I went to a 9850 from the Style (Sprint is my carrier for last 12 years). The touch pad is different but I have gotten use to it. And for this old guy, that should be an indication that anyone can do it. I like the size of the screen for these old eyes, and it is more suited to my needs.
The BlackBerry Torch 9850/9860 is a beautiful device to view pictures, and videos with their 3.7" touch screen.Quote:

I'm thinking about changing from my 9810 to a 9860 device. I like the slider, but I don't use the slider keyboard that much. Plus the 9860 has a bigger screen.
I am still pleased with my 9850 and from reading thru some other sites there seems to be some who have not had good experience with thier 9850's (due to hardware) issues. I have not had any problems and continue to enjoy the user experience with 7.1.0 Bundle 457.
I especially like using the bridge feature with the Playbook and from time to time the "remote" control. I do not see major op issues and typing is still good but I do hit the "b" key when typing fast and spell check gets me when I don't read final before I hit send. But the screen size is key for me as I do not have problems operating an all touch device.
