Have tried Curve and new Curve, Bold, but still stuck with my 8120.

For me Suretype keyboard, and small form factor are 2 main reasons. Keys are easier to press as having 2 letters per key means bigger keys. Also can't beat the small size.

Having said that it's boring to have used the same phone for 2 years as I started with the 8100 and now 8120.

Have an unlocked Vodaphone 9500 Storm on the way, and will try it;s suretype. Also Nokia announced the E55, which I'll try also as it has a suretype and is very small form factor.
