Pros: The phone catches a lot of people's eyes. Everyone is curious about it but too wary to purchase it themselves. I got the white one with LTE for a reason, because the white one is semi-exclusive as only the black one is sold everywhere, and LTE because I have unlimited data with 2.5 GB of LTE for T-Mobile. The phone works very well with T-Mobile and I had no problems with it. The touch only keyboard is a gift and a curse in that it auto corrects VERY well and predicts words you will type early on so you can swipe up and just have the word entered for you. It also intuitively learns weird words you type, i.e. transliterated words of other languages, uncommon names, and predicts those words, too.

Cons: I upgraded to this phone from a Torch 9810. I do and don't miss the sliding keyboard, as I am still getting accustomed to typing on the touch only keyboard. Sometimes it gets annoying but I have a feeling it will become easier with time. My MAIN complaint against this phone is the LACK of BlackBerry Traffic app. That app is GOLDEN to me and I am considering enabling the mobile hot spot and keeping the Torch in the car to use for Traffic purposes. However, I use an iPhone for business purposes and have seen that an update is rolling out to Google Maps for iOS whereby they will have traffic updates as well, with the option to reroute on a less traffic route. I find that connecting my facebook is extremely annoying as it constantly shows an update despite the fact I have read everything. Same with missed calls, as they are not read unless you actually take the time to call back.

Other Thoughts: The phone is certainly nice to have but there are things to give up in comparison to the Torch 9810, at least for me.
