If you want to work, stay in touch, or get informed, I run with the 9700 as my primary device to do all my important stuff -- securely.

I thought it was clear, in context, that I'd like a bigger screen on my
phone. I'm aware that there are other devices with bigger screens. Moreover, there's an implication here that wanting a bigger screen is somehow not linked to work, staying in touch, or getting informed.
So let me try to clarify matters. I have a BB 8900. I use it for a lot of things, including email, writing extensive notes while away from the office, web browsing various forums, and so on. I also use the Kindle app fairly regularly. I'd have a better experience doing all these things if the screen were somewhat larger. I don't need a huge screen. But all things considered, I'd appreciate a bigger screen. The screen on my 8900 is the same size and resolution as the one on the 9700.
I use Upvise for writing out various drafts of things, so that I can later retrieve them from cloud and edit and format on a PC. It works fine, but again, the experience would be better with a bigger screen. The same point goes for the Kindle app.
At the moment, the only BBs with a larger screen are the Storm and Torch, neither of which is available on T-mobile. So I have to weigh several things. Is it worth it to me to pay a $200 cancellation fee to get a Torch on ATT? If not, is it worth it to me to abandon BB altogether and move to an Android device (with bigger screen) on T-Mobile (both Upvise and Kindle are available on Android, as well as most of the other apps that I use)?
I don't use BBM (don't know anyone else who uses it), so that's not a consideration at this time.
I haven't worked out the answers to these questions yet, but I'm sure that an iPad or iPod is not the solution.
