Yeah I think the move to microUSB is a good one, a fair wack of phones are coming with it now, would be great for all of them to use it.

I tested a Storm for a few weeks and found the text entry to be absolutely woeful. 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.
