Replace Storm with Tour?

ok the Blackberry Tour has been announced... I am considering the trade to it when it comes available in a few weeks on Verizon. What do you all think?
The Tour basically has the Storm's guts with I believe one major exception...more app memory. Menu's are more storm like than Bold.
Keyboard and trackball vs touchscreen is really what it comes down to probably.
This device, no matter how careful I try to be is TYPO CITY! Its a toy! I am convinced that it was designed for Barbie doll-sized people. As for the bulk? Get me a phone with a real keyboard...full size screen...and un-toy like keys and I will deal with it even if a hand truck is required or some gym training to carry the thing around.
The Storm has a distinction. It is the worst device for adults to type with, ever designed. Its like cutting a diamond,you have to be THAT careful. Any hard hunt & peck keyboard would leave it in the dust.

If you use the Storm mostly for calls and display information, your getting nearly twice the performance from the screen. Its obvious which one wins there.
To share my experience, I hardly ever use the pathetic keyboard on my Storm. I also carry a second phone (LG Voyager) which buries the BB's Sure Tap Typo Guaranteed exercise in futility. For emails, the old fashioned way, a desk top or my lap top.

One's priorities dictate the choice here. For me, I can live with the lousy keyboard on the Storm. RIM will wise up one day and equip the phone with a pullout, slider, or clamshell hard-key qwerty, and, in doing so, keep the screen full length phone size. For that device, everyone will live with the extra thickness.....
I am selling my Storm which is a brand new replacement not a refurbished, since my last two Storms died. It is in mint condition and it comes with the docking station, car charger, plastic belt clip and 2GB card. I am keeping the 8GB card since RIM is too cheap to have given it to me with the Tour. $300.00 firm.
To anyone that is coming from a Curve I guess it is awesome. Me coming from the Storm which is very cool I was not impressed.
