Pressing the screen in after tapping the button felt really awkward, and made it difficult to type quickly. IMO the iPhone keyboard is vastly superior to the Storms, not just because of the feel but the fantastic auto-correction, which was just abysmal on the Storm. Funny how it's completely different with the Bold, now that is a seriously good device. Obviously it's a totally different design, but it shows how good RIM are in their native territory.

I'm in agreement with you -- when I tested one (briefly) I didn't see the point of a keyboardless BlackBerry. It seemed like a lot of work and the applications were stil the same old crappy BlackBerry JAVA stuff (though they seem to be getting better) My sister just bought a Storm and she seems to like it.
