Blackberry Storm - Pro or Con

So I currently have a Blackberry and I looooooove it! I love everything about it except for the fact that it is getting a little old and a little beat up. I have the Blackberry Pearl and was thinking about upgrading to the Storm but have heard soooooo many mixed reviews on it. So I thought to ask you guys. Have you heard anything on this phone? Give me the good and the bad? I really want to hear from people that have had experiences with it or know someone who has. It's a big strp to upgrade your phone cause with upgrading comes learning and getting acquainted with all of the new things which can be one big pain in the ass. So before I go and splurge let me know what you think! I really REALLY want the IPhone but Verizon doesn't carry them....
