curve vs torch? (WAS:Why I no longer Jailbreak my IPhone)

Not to completely hijack, but speaking of BlackBerries, I'm about to go from a Curve 8320 to a Torch.  I find myself 
with the need to look up data more and more often via my mobile and the Curve's browing leaves a lot to be desired.  
Not to mention the speed increase from 2g to 3g will help me quite a bit.
  Anyone have any pros and cons about the torch?  Particularly those that moved from a curve to a torch?

Okay, I'll play the other side.

My phone is my everything (obviously except payment system)

I eliminated carrying three or four devices for my iPhone. It's my
phone, my mp3 player, my movie player, my gps device, my email
system, my note taking system, my calendar, my to do list, etc

I can go anywhere and do anything with my iPhone, even do light work
if needed.

Heck, with my iPad and iPhone together, I can rule the world.
Muhahahaha.

Okay, just kidding. But it does help me out a lot.

For the adults on this list, my BlackBerry Curve (and all it's ugly
brothers) is great for voice, text, music (use headphones, gat dangit)
and email. I'm sure it does other things, but we have computers for that
and there is nothing worse than being "that guy." I still love you Joel.

Oh yeah, and I can make a phone call on it too.

Is that a separate app?
