The Storm has taken me some time to acclimatise to......it's my first Blackberry device and overall the usability and learning curve for the UI was simple enough....there are a few areas though that I did struggle with initially and do still find myself cursing each day....not enough to put me off but just enough for it not to be as user friendly as the E51.
My big bugbear is the way the screen constantly is swapping from portrait to landscape.......this is highly annoying as when I put my phone down flat on a counter it goes landscape, I then pick it up to make a call and have to wait a full 4-5 seconds for it to go portrait so that I can make a call.........
Related to this when answering a call the screen refreshes very slowly so I often find myself saying hello to various parts of the phone trying to figure out whether the call is actually connected or not :(
I have to agree with the above review that inputting text is a bit more labour intensive that I would like and were it my primary device for sending mail....I think I might eventually lose the plot too!!
I have only toyed around with the camere and media pieces and it does have to be said they are very good, the facebook app is nice and simple (and getting a lot of use!).
In short I would imagine that if you are a business user OR an enterprise looking to invest in a touchscreen device that does all the business things right, I don't think that you can go too wrong with this phone :)

know who will not be impressed at having to wait for 5 seconds to make
a call.

From the sound of it text entry and basic phone functions like calling are hampered. I'd say that on that basis, for a business/enterprise you CAN go too wrong with this phone :-(
