There are some things I like but as a phone and communication device it fails compared to the blackberry Bold...
As someone who came from a bold who used the new torch before getting the ip4... either you havn't found all the uses for your phone or you just are too much of a fanboy for rim.
In my experience with ip4 my emailing and messaging is far more productive than the bold. I use my phone solely for business but since i got the ip4 i cant seem to keep my hands off while at home also.
Typing, true takes some time... but once you are set/comfortable i find it a lot easier than the bold... (crazy right)? my fingers don't tire and the ability to go landscape vs portrait and the very powerful auto correct is fantastic... It took me a while to find the undo but having undo auto correct i am typing very efficiently.
That was the only pro for the bold.. keyboard... what else did it have? oh right nothing else.
Browsing is fantastic and tons of games n apps that will fill your appetite no matter who you are.
The only improvements you can make requires a jb and i will more than likely to get there sooner than later.
I used to be one of those people who used to "make fun" and "look down" on people with ip4 but you gotta give credit where its due.. its the most balanced device out there... even as a phone its a lot better than my 9700.
