I've also abandoned the storm.....

yes I did it. I sold the storm that I adored since day 1... my good ol' curve will keep me company until Niagara comes out.
It was fun upgrading all the OS's and trying new apps the last few months. sure, I will miss watching movies on that bigger screen... but not as much as I've missed typing on a physical keyboard. I think I've learned that I'm willing to sacrafice the "cool" factor of touch screen/bigger screen for a physical keyboard.
I can't believe how good it feels typing on my old curve....

I know what you mean. I wanted to have a touch screen so bad, but I doubt I will ever go that route again.

I did the same thing and am waiting for the Niagara but I may look at the Storm 2 when it comes out. Love the big screen.

Yeah.. I've been using Bberry for last 4 years. I don't plan on using anything but BBerry for awhile.

Very true ... I miss the keyboard as well. I think it has to do with how faulty/slow the Storm keyboard is. Although its getting fixed its still annoying.

Don't get me wrong. I loved my storm. Typing really wasn't a problem on storm. I just didn't realize how much I missed typing on a real keyboard(speed of it mostly). It's just a preference thing.
I'm sure you'll love your storm just as much as I did.. maybe more...
I'm just gearing up for the "newer" berry.. just a gadget geek inside me.

I haven't read up on storm 2 yet, but if it had a slide out physical keyboard, I would ditch the Niagara and jump on that quick.

i believe the 99xx codename pluto is said to be touchscreen + qwerty. haven't seen anything on it yet tho.

I will admit that I love my storm but that Niagara keyboard is a nice thing..

You will not be disappointed. Yes the large screen on the Storm is nice, and it's a good media centric, and browsing device. But if you need to bang out emails and use it for corporate/professional use, the 9630 is definitely the way to go.
