Coming from a Curve it would be miles different. Getting used to typing on something with more top weight would take a few days at least to get used to.
The keyboard I think is the same as the 9700 Bold.
Screen is same size/resolution (maybe a bit better resolution, can't recall) as the Storm 1 and 2...and no battery issues there.
Don't know if its an in between device. The Storm 3 will likely be more heavily weighted to the Iphone/Android crowd.
I like it because after a year and a half of the Storm, somewhat looking forward to returning to a physical keyboard and the trackpad for quicker navigation...but used to such a large screen that I couldn't go down to a Bold.
But still tempted by Andriod and even Iphone. But then we're into the keyboard thing again and the keyboards on the Andriods are poorly regarded).
