Change from WinMo

Hello all, Im currently with Verizon and have had the XV6900 since the day it came out. Up front I have really enjoyed this phone, but it has its pitfalls and Ive never tried a BB....always wanted to, and now is my time. This is my third XV6900 due to the touch screen going bad, and this scenario is getting old. This last incident involves the 4/ghi key, it sticks and runs mulitple 4's when texting. I called Verizon, and after 3 prior replacements they are offering me a Curve. Anyone went from the XV6900 to the curve? Im due for an upgrade in Dec, and thought about the Storm or Tour, but the curve will be a free exchange, no contract extension. Actually looking forward to trying it. Ive been checking out this site doing some research. Nice site. Throw me some feedback/advice/opinions. Thanks.
