However, I'm quite confident that much of the decision is based on ease of typing. In my very limited time with my new Storm, I can see that typing is never going to be as fast or error-free as with a "real" keyboard. On a computer, I am a blazingly-fast typist. On the Pearl half-QWERTY or Curve/Bold full-QWERTY keyboards, I am very fast and make very few errors. I will never be anywhere as fast or error-free on the Storm clickscreen-based keyboard. I know I'll get much better with practice, but the clickscreen simply can't physically click/unclick (move up and down) quick enough to match the speed of a "real" keyboard. Now, is that enough to conclude that one phone is better than another? Hardly! I can also see that the much larger and more versatile screen of the Storm is going to be a huge advantage when not simply typing a message. I predict I'm going to conclude that it will boil down to keyboard/typing versus screen size considerations. If you're big into web surfing and viewing pix/flix, then the Storm is your winner. If you're big into messaging, then the Curve/Bold is your winner. If you are in the middle, then either is great. But I don't want to get ahead of myself. I need more time with my new Storm to be thorough and objective in this analysis. Kelly Injury Lawyer,

Keeping in mind also that with the I Phone I tried, it would always click stuff I did not want by barely touching the screen.
