Blackberry - Bold 9700 or Storm

[Papasi]

Hi,

My Blackberry Bold 9000 is up for renewal.  The obvious replacement is Bold 9700 but I don't like it as it looks as if its buttons are even smaller. 

Has anyone had experience of a Blackberry Storm?  I have heard that version 1 had many problems and a version 2 is out?
(Our IT guys say it has to be a blackberry)

Thanks.

I am up for upgrade from 9000 also, going for the 9700, nothing beats a real keyboard

I bought my first blackberry a couple months back and I don't know how I lived without one for so long!

It is hands down the best most useful phone I have ever owned...

Now I must admit that I shopped like mad to pick what I wanted... for me a touch screen was automatically ruled out. I don't like touch screen and thats that. It narrowed my choices down a lot...

Blackberry does offer in some markets phones that have a 'track pad' and others have the original 'track ball'...either one once you get used to it then they are both ok...

I am with shalamazoo. A keyboard for me or nothing...

I opted for the 9700 and am happy so far
