I know I'm totally being old school here but I have a BB Tour and after 2+ years with it I still like it. Now of course there were problems. My original phone's charging port broke (though from what I can tell this is more a Verizon thing than a BB thing) and the rollerball kept getting stuck (but what can you expect from something that still uses a real trackball?) But I found that if you kept your email inbox clean and didn't have a ridiculous amount of apps on your phone, it ran pretty well.

Things I love about it? The email. It syncs faster than my school email does. It's super compatible with gmail. I LOVE LOVE LOVE the physical keyboard. It's been my favorite of all the phones I've ever had. It also has a good predictive text feature (no d#$! you autocorrect for me).

The thing I'm not crazy about is that it does turn off randomly. Not sure why. It also takes awhile to load (but much less so if you're good about keeping your inbox lean and sending your pictures instead of saving them to the phone). Its camera is also pretty good.

Overall I'm still happy with my phone. When the charging port broke on my old one I got another Tour, because the devil you know is better than the devil you don't. I also only really want to get the 4S, not any earlier versions, because they aren't world phones and I really would like that feature. I think eventually I'll switch to an iPhone (maybe), but I'll wait until this new Tour dies spectacularly first. I just don't see the need to spend the money before that.
