I typically type about 50-100 emails a day from my BB and I found the click screen difficult to type on at speed. Better than an iPhone, but not the same as a dedicated keyboard.

Bottom line, if I didn't type lots of email I'd get the Storm. The screen is sexy and interface slick, but because I'm an email fiend, I need a keyboard and the Bold works great.

word, that's what i've been telling most people but the majority will sacrifice speed for the "coolness" factor. i'm pretty quick with my pearl keypad. faster than most with a full one.

I love my Curve and have been thinking about the Storm but I type with my nails and the touch screen is hard for me to use. Tried the Iphone and it didn't work for me. Now do I cut my nails just to get a new phone??

Maybe... I have to keep taking mine apart and get all the lint out of it... the trackball is a bit small for the socket that it sits in and collects lots of dust... this builds up and stops it from working... right now it doesn't track up or right... so It needs to be cleaned again, but I just don't care anymore since I am leaving Tmo and that gay gay pearl come friday! :ss

I have patience... I have wanted to shatter this pearl against the wall for at least a year... and I have been waiting for Tmo to get their head out of their ass and get the 3G network rolling...

Yup... the current buzz is that it will be around $149 or $99 with a contract. Vodafone in england is giving them away with a contract and vodafone is verizon's European partner. So there is some speculation about them being free...

As long as they are $149 or less, I will sign with Verizon, ditch tmobile and have a new storm to play with! :D
