What's worse, the Storm2's implementation requires a surprising amount of effort to actuate, meaning that longmessages were a chore to type out -- not only do they wear out your fingers, but it gets old hearing the screen's loud "thunk" each and every time you type a letter, which we find considerably more noticeable than the traditional click of a physical QWERTY keyboard.
We believe that enough people are maintaining permanent personal e-mail addresses that many of our long-term messages will get delivered with no problems.
