i'm getting a blackberry

i want suggestions, bold or torch? i told dad already what's in my mind (which is the bold) but a bit time back i took a research about both phones and unfortunately got hesitated. i liked the screen of torch and i didn't like the slide form factor. i liked the bigger sized keyboard of the bold but i want a bigger screen -.-
i want a large screen for the first time to have that sort of phones ._. but the torch is also of high-price. i'm scared of wasting money on something that isn't worth.
do anyone has an experience on both phones? i want suggestions. i text a lot, play games and web-browsing. that's pretty much what all i do use a phone for and looks like i will need a mix of the iphone, android and blackberry.
please help me & peace be upon you =P <-i hope is not too late yet! i need to inform dad about the new issue as soon as possible (and i hope to get help very soon as well @.@)

thanks =)
