"Better" can be a relative term that changes with each user.

I can tell you that I've used both the Torch 9800 (slider) and now have the Torch 9850 (on Sprint). I MUCH (much....much) prefer the 9850. The design of the device make it much easier to hold, plus it a lot slimmer than the 9800.

I've activated a few 9930's for my end users, and although they keyboard is nice, having the keyboard made me forget the screen was touchable. And honestly, I still prefer the larger screen of the 9850.
