Hmm, small for a Bold Touch - my first thought too ........

I welcome it, I mean have you ever tried to click the smallest link on a touch screen phone "without" zooming in? Does it work everytime? It just brings another form of navigation, I don't see anything wrong with it.

Whyb is what I ask. that the lack of fine tuning the touch screen so u don't need to zoom to hit a key(iphone, and android) is what every touch phone is doing wrong. Unless u have small hands like my 4 year old. That is why I don't have a iphone, plus at least 5 other reason's mainly it's apple.

Having played with the 9900. The stuff are just too small for accurate tapping.

I was still using trackpad and... being a blackberry user for the longest time, touching screen won't really come natural for awhile lol :3

the trackpad is a great inclusion. If you've ever used a torch before you'll realise how awesome it is for that pinpoint accuracy that your fingers won't be able to muster with editing of text and other hard to press buttons on websites etc.

I see no reason to get angry over a button like this?

It's like getting angry over the home button on the iphone.

have you used capacitive buttons on those androids. they can be very fickle.
I can understand users wanting them to be flushed into the design e.g the original torch. At least these buttons you won't accidentally slide over them like you can do with a capacitive button (thats if they register your touch properly)

though I can totally see them moving away from these buttons if and when QNX is implemented especially if they decide to take advantage of the bezels. all that said and touch, I'm still loving some hardware buttons and the trackpad.

I thought it was a huge mistake to get rid of the second convenience keys though.

Perhaps it is there to make clicking on links easier?

Torch would mean it's a slider...that thing is full touch.

no, that's the new curve touch, not the Torch 2

Let the Storm LIVE Bla1ze, lol. Stop HATING on it. Lazaridis was quoted as saying that "SurePress is here to stay" in the All Things D interview before the S2 emerged.

That phone is no where near as bad as you're trying to make people believe. It needed better guts-yes, but SurePress was awesome for many of us. The OS sucked, but I loved the Storm2.

Storm sans SurePress makes more sense. It's far closer to a storm than a Torch. Otherwise we could make the argument that the Bold 9900/9930 should be a Torch without the slider as it's both touch screen and full qwerty.

I personally like the storm. it just needed better software.

I've never seen the General Motors phone. How do you like it?
