Depends. If you are going to use the keyboard a lot then no, because that is it's main failing. As a media phone it is great and it looks lovely, but the keyboard is quite difficult to get on with so texting/emailing can be slow

I tried the Storm. Found the keyboard to be weird to say the least. When its vertical its that odd SureType 2 letters per key predictive that Blackberry seem to like, but I could not get the hang of it at all.

Plus the fact that one has to physically press the screen in to get a keypress to register, even though the keyboard has already recognised what you intended to type by the glowing letter under your finger.

Maybe I've been using iPhone for too long, but found text entry to be easy.
