I ended up getting the bold. Got rid of the iPhone and I'm quite happy. Thus far I've had no issues with ATT and service here in Chicago but who's to say I won't in the future. I've yet to find something I dislike about the phone.
Did you go with Bold 9000 or 9700?
I've had the 9000 for about a year now, and haven't tested the new trackpad. I really love the trackball on the 9000 though for sure
