I have been using the Torch for about a week now and I wanted to post back to say that my hands-on experience with daily use confirms all of my previous conclusions. I'd go as far as to say it is nearly the perfect phone. The sole exceptions being that: 1) it is a tad heavy, although that makes if feel very solid and well built, and 2) I find the slide out kjeyboard totally useable, but damn, if they had only made it slide out in the "landscape" orientation so there could be larger keys, THAT would be fantastic.

It has also been refreshing to see that the few 3rd party applications I used on previous non-touchscreen BB's seem to all work beautifully on the Torch.

And finally, the OEM desktop sync/charge cradle for the Torch is far superior to any similar solution for previous BB's I have used. It drops in with NO effort yet fits to a swiss-watch tolerance (no wiggle etc.) and the cradle charges it and connects it to my PC.

This is my favorite BB so far. No question.
