Sydman couldn't have said it better...really its ur preference...if you'll wait for the Tour 2(Speculated, and I mean specualted!!, to launch in Jan/Feb) then that's okay if u want Wifi and a trackpad. If not then u can get the Tour, and if u want Touchscreen and don't text as much, then yah, go for the Storm2. I'm not anyone to say Storm2 isn't for any "extreme" texters but physical keyboard, ahhh, there's just nothin like it...but try them out urself..or wait till one of ur buddys has it first...
