No SurePress on the Storm 2

If you love the SurePress feature on the current BlackBerry Storm, I have bad news for you. The next generation of the Storm (currently being called the Storm 2) won't have the clickable SurePress screen. I think I'd rather have fewer moving parts - less to break. I wonder if this also means that the Storm 2 will be thinner. Wouldn't it be nice to have something that can actually compete against the Apple iPhone's design?
