Thats my take on it too. The storm is my first blackberry and I have had no problems getting used to it. And I think its less professional based than the curve that my friend just got. I upgraded the OS on my storm within about 6 hours of buying it and have had almost no issues with it. It usually runs smooth and I like it a lot. Only problems Ive had are the memory leak (which doing a quick pull every couple days takes care of) and the not so great battery life. The longest Ive managed to go between charges is about 1.5 or 2 days. I usually just charge it every night while I sleep and it does fine.

Ive used a Storm Outside a Store, Its Quite Amazing!
Though i only used it about 1 hour playing on the web.
The Screen is MUCH Nicer then the HTC phones i played with
And its just better then the Curve(only used in store)

Kinda like a Bigger pearl

Negatory my friend, no touch screen on the Tour. Tour is a minorly reworked Bold for Verizon. The Magnum is the Touch/Keyboard mix.

yep - at work we can only get a new blackberry every 2 years unless something happens to the current one... and even then we'll probably just get another of the same until it's time for a refresh...

I was all set to get a Storm until our purchasing department told me no.

Well apparently I've been changed back to the curve because of such bad reviews (from other office users) on the Storm.

So now I'm getting a Curve in silver.
