For me, I can confirm that the BlackBerry Bold is better for thumb touchtyping than Curve is. The keyboard is wider and less likely to hit adjacent keys. Even though it looks similiar to the 8800 keyboard, it feels nothing like the 8800 keyboard in actual thumb-feel.

I can easily hit 60 WPM on the Bold for regular writing with a very low error rate, and I might be hitting 70 WPM in small bursts.
