Storm is the only BB I'll compare to the iPhone because it's the only iPhone-like device they've got. And boy is it a horrible device. Don't get the idea that I'm a hater... I've played around with a 9700 for a day or two and that is a very nice device. Personally, I can type no faster on small physical keyboards than I can on touchscreen devices, so the lack of screen real estate is a big loss for me on phones like the Bold.

Edit: to clarify what I meant by better screen... from 3GS to Storm2 you're giving up 1/4 inch of screen, but the BB weighs an extra ounce, and is thicker and wider. Goes without saying that those margins increase if comparing to an iPhone 4.
