Helen's Blackberry Storm

Associated Press

About 500,000 Storms were sold in the smart phone's first month.

nytimes review. CNET review.

My group is switching to Verizon (there may have been some manipulation for that change) which means we can get the new Blackberry Storm. I have read a lot of reviews and tested one and have to say, the touch screen is not easy. I can type on my Pearl without practically looking at the screen.

The Storm has a full keyboard, but it is touchscreen and not actual buttons, which I think is more difficult I have heard many curses.

So, what should I do? Get it because it is cool and comes with GPS Navigation and an 8G SD storage for music? Stick to the Pearl?
