I got a 9780 to replace my Torch (got sick of sliding out the keyboard, otherwise, the phone was awesome) and it has been even better than my BOLD 9000. Battery life is an EASY 48hrs of moderate use. I can get three days if I use it lightly. No issues with the keyboard or trackpad.

There are many others with the same experience as myself.

We've had a few defective BB's over the years at the company I work for. Rogers replaced them next-day no questions asked. Never had a bad one twice.

My wife however has had to get a few replacement 8520's. Her first one she got a dead key, the second one would randomly reboot, no matter what OS is on it.

Defects happen.

Also, what was mentioned above about where they are made is true. I've found the ones in made in Ontario tend to be the best assembled. But my opinion might be a tad biased ;)
