I'm actually looking at upgrading to a Blackberry this weekend.
I've looked at several smart-phones, and I've decided to go with the Blackberry. HTC and Samsung look cool...but everyone I know that have Blackberry swear by it.
I'm actually waiting for Telus to role out the Tour, and I'll be getting it. It's basically Telus's version of the Rogers Bold. I was looking at the Storm, but after checking some reviews on Youtube (including one that compares the Storm to the Bold) I decided on the Bold (Tour).
I would suggest going to the store and TRYING before you buy. Get the retailer to throw a battery in one, and give it a whirl. If they won't, go somewehere else.
Cheers!
edit: Here is the video links for the Storm vs. Curve (Bold on Rogers).

After watching this review, among others, it convinced me to wait for the Tour on Telus Mobility.
