i had an android with a touch pad
did not like the constant pocket dileing and the
screen forze flickered a lot and was slow and
most of all did not have a one touch answer button
turned that back flip in before 30 days was up
not a neat toy at all
looking to blackberry next

Oh, its perfect. first, i hate touch screens they are never accurate so having a track pad, keyboard and touch with a big screen is my style. and it slides out from the bottom and not the side. I don’t want to keep having to flip my phone over on an angel every 5 seconds. Finally there is some geek out there like me who wants the same thing.
iphones are cool as hell but for work purposes blackberry’s rock.

I really like the Devour Design and material minus the touch pad placement. If RIM stole that design and ran with OS 6 plus the webkit browser, I would consider that a substantial leap in both design and functionality, and certainly a player in high end phones despite the antiquated OS design.

I am hearing that it will have a touchscreen, it just won’t be TruePress. (screen won’t click)

Looks like this device is a spin-off from the Bold and not the Storm. With that said, it still looks like sh*t. The track pad is located in the middle, which makes it a stretch. The only benefit from this design is a larger screen since it won’t have touch capability on the screen. I hate to say this, but RIM just doesn’t get it. In the past two years they have only made incremental improvements. I love my BB, but the way technology is progressing, it’s making it harder and harder each day to justify “email” is my most important issue. I really can’t wait for the N1 on VZW.

There is some speculation that this is NOT the Storm 3, but an evolution of what the Magnum was to be.

Ask the same question to HTC on their Android phones. They have a touchscreen and a trackball. More options better then less.
