New Blackberry storm 2? Any comments? or should I keep my first one?

ok, well i dropped my first blackberry outside and i didnt even know about it until all of the rain and snow had gotten too it. Its ruined and soaked. ive heard about the blackberry storm 2 is it any good? and most importantly, is it faster? all the first one did was lag, lag and lag some more…GRAH so fustrating when your trying to capture a picture of a passing celebrity. and i see the buttons are on the inside now but how does that work.. is it still the click screen? or is it more like the multitap screen like the iphone? thanks soo much please be honest! also how much is it? i already have a 2 year contract with verizon. thx a buch guys
