Since the touch screen is what you want to get away from I would say no to the storm, but I have used a friend of mine’s storm and it isn’t like touching the iphone, however to be safe my boyfriend has the Curve and loves it and i do hear good things about the Bold too. I do know about a return policy that Verizon has so you could test it out for couple of days see if you like it, worst case you return it.
