Not a slide phone! They are all garbage. Haven't had a slide phone that didnt' stop sliding or break altogether.
While I will say that the sliding mechanism is just one more on the list of things to go wrong, I will not say they're garbage. If people would quit treating their phones like toys or slide hard, etc, I would venture to say that the vast majority of them wouldn't break. I've had several sliding phones and even flip phones. NONE of them broke on me.

I've had a couple, they all got stuff in the sliders just from being in my pccket and broke. I'm not hard on my phones. Its rare for any of my phones to ever get a scratch on them.

I've had a Palm Pre for over a year and have had no problem with the slide keyboard. In fact , except for the chrome trim, the new Torch has the same dimensions and look as the Palm Pre.

Well good for you. Personally, I don't like it. I also don't like it cause it's always failed for me. I'm sure some have good luck with them, but I've had no issues with my curve touch screen. I'll take a touchscreen over a slide phone anyday. To each their own though.

While I haven't tried out the BB Torch, I can only 'hope' that the keypad quality (good old Canadian quality) is better than that of the Pre. Since RIM has been making BB's with keypads forever, I can only hope they did it right.

The only time I've ever broken a phone in my life is when one of my phone got ran over by a lawnmower. I've had many clamshells and sliders. Other than the lawnmower incident, I've never broken one.
