Replying to Which Blackberry?

I can get a sick plan (Pretty much half off of a 70$ plan) and half off of the phone from Bell mobility, so don't tell me they're a waste of money, because its a pretty good deal. But Bell sells both the Storm and the Curve 8330. I'm going to mainly use it for texting/email, phone, Facebook and internet. I have an iPod touch so I'm not worried about media. Which phone would you guys recommend? I've heard many bad things about the storm but is it as bad as they say?
