Waiting for the cradle for the 9800 to become available (having said that, I am still waiting to qualify whether or not I actually prefer the Torch to the Bold......)
I assumed if it was in the cradle that the phone was using the car's antenna. I will be disappointed if that is not the case as I have a (SUPER crappy coverage) at&t wireless (emphasis on the "less") Blackberry.

BTW, I just did the same switch to the Torch. Reaction just today to a leaked update to the OS software (version 6.0.0.214) is very encouraging. The original software is apparently the source of the screen freeze and other general ailments. If this turns out to be false, I may go back to my 9700 and return the Torch.
