My kid got a Tour that I'm jealous of.. jealous in the sense of nostalgic for my 8330 Curve.. weird mixed feelings about it all, Android software is superior to RIM by leaps and bounds. ... so..
No.
I regularly switch back and forth between a BB Tour and Eris. I like both of them, they each do what I need and it all depends on which phone I want to use, if I've used one for a lot one day and still have things to do and need a phone quickly simple ESN change and the other phone is running.

How do you switch activation between the 2 phones? Do you have to call verizon each time or is it something you can do yourself?I regularly switch back and forth between a BB Tour and Eris.

For me the biggie from the Curve to the Eris (well, I went from the Curve to the Samsung Instinct.. same reason though) was getting away from the keyboard taking up half of the phone where screen could be.
On-screen keyboard took a little bit of getting used to, but I'll never go back to a phone that has so much space taken up by a keyboard.
And no, I did not even contemplate the Storm.
Storm is great. I know there are some that had their issues some software and some hardware, but I got mine on day one and have NEVER had a problem. fast as h3ll and absolutley no lag, but I stayed with the factory OS until a leak came out then I was off to put together a hybrid. official OS, yeah not so great, but who says you have to stay official.
I still find myslf pushing on the screen and expecting a click
You can do an ESN change online through your My Verizon account under My Services, then choose My Phone and click on activate phone. The *228 option 1 will faill out due to the change of the data package from Smartphone to Blackberry.

yeah my wifes storm is real solid, nice and fast, no issues really. i am jealous of the mail handling and message system, universal inbox, etc. but it ain't no android though..
How's the web browser on the Storm (is her's a Storm or Storm 2, btw?)?
Every review I read of Blackberries, Tour, Bold etc, bears out my experience of Eris (even the Instinct) being quite superior to any Blackberry's web browser.
