Upgrade due: 9900 or 9810?

My wife has the the original Torch and I have the 9780 - and I honestly prefer the sliding form factor over the QWERTYbar one... It's just a tad heavier...

Although we're both thinking of trying iOS or Android again after having the BB's... Or maybe even WP7 now that HP has killed WebOS...
 
Two things:
1. The portrait screen is the norm these days (for phones) and you really notice in in App World where you can hardly see two lines of text on the landscape Curve 9300 screen (small resolution yes, but portrait with same screen would help a lot).
2. The 9900 camera may not be to everyone's liking (I would prefer the 9810):

(Sneaky suggestion: view that third phone's photo quality :) )
 
If your phone camera is important to you, do not get the 9900, also, i've heard as the screen gets bigger, the os lags more and more (9900 vs 9810 vs 9860) so just something to keep in mind (the software updates do however seem to be fixing this)
 
I dunno, I love my keyboard on my 9900 but then I use the device primarily for msgs, email etc rather than apps and what not.
 
I have never had an issue with any app, the ones i use fit perfectly on my screen, but i guess it does depend on what you want to do with the phone, as Kosmik said, the 9900 is probably a better phone for emails and messages, while the Torch is more for games and multimedia
