      Read reviews. Nice features but the interface is sluggish. I would wait until some reviews come out after OS upgrades arrive that address performance and ergonomic shortcomings.

      the screen actually depresses when you touch it, teh click you here is the screen sliding down, that is the tactile feedback

      BTW, Verizon cripples phones with GPS. You need to pay extra to uncripple the feature that COMES WITH the phone.

      Thanks for going with Verizon-only this time around, RIM. Looks like I'll be upgrading from Blackberry Curve to iPhone instead.

      Just went to vz store to test the keypad (most important feature for me)...Typing was VERY awkward and inaccurate. Having to click really slows things down too. Keypad was worse than the iphone, and I hated the iphone.

      I might just settle for the curve...

      All touch keyboards take time to get accustomed to. All reviewers that i have read said that after 2 days it was superior to the iphones input.

      All touchscreen phones take some time to get adjusted to.
