    Not trying to be contentious, but just got my 1st bb, the bold, and can't understand why the storm would be a choice. its a bold without a keyboard? What's the big deal with touchscreen?

    Some people prefer the touch screen over actual keys. Plus, some people love Verizon and don’t like At&t.

    Personal preference. Not really a hard concept.

    The size of the screen was my decider, and also, I wasn't too sure if the trackball was for me. With the BB browser, though, I'm still bleeding well swiping my thumb all the damn time.

    Plus I feel that touchscreens offer more varied control options, providing that developers can be bothered to come up with them.

    my main reason for getting the storm was i have verizon... if i had at&t i'd probably have the bold -imho the storm is the best phone on verizon so it was a fairly simple for me

    Disclaimer: This is JUST a joke! Do not try this at home!

    From what I've noticed, they get the Storm so they can come here and complain about every little thing wrong with it.

    Screen size is a big deal for me. Screen on the bold and all other blackberrys are too small for my tastes.

    All comes down to what you are looking for in a phone. Personally, I feel the Storm is a much better device that the Bold or Curve.

    1. I like Verizon and not AT&T.
    2. Screen size.
    3. Ex iPhone user, now Storm, so the touchscreen is key.
    4. Ex Curve user, never could get used to the trackball.

    More or less.

    Seriously get over it. Small joke and you take it to the heart. I actually agree with Skull anyway but it's nothing that we can't joke about. Geez...

    It WAS pretty funny. Not all of us are like that thou.

    I choose the Storm because it was available on Verizon, and because I get more screen bang for my buck. The Bold has a great screen too (as does the 8900) BUT with the Storm you get all screen, GREAT for watching movies and browsing in about the same form factor.

    IF I was an ATT person I would probably be happy with a Bold, but I'm sure glad I'm on VZW and a Storm owner. (Warts and all! Besides I like to fiddle with my electronics)

    I wanted to get a touchscreen phone from verizon. Also I love the fact that the screen size is bigger because I like to watch movies on my storm.
