Many people don't like or can't use touch screen pads because they give no tactile response to your fingers when using then. Personally I don't like them for that reason and always have more typing errors when I do use them. It's one of the biggest reasons I like my BlackBerry.

I have big fingers, therefore using a touch screen drives me crazy when trying to type....but I do like my iphone with all the apps it has

Who is going to wipe these fingerprints off my monitor?
Didn't do a damn thing either.

Your berries are too small...that's why.

I still don't get how people can type for extended periods on ANY smartphone. Those buttons are just too small (touch or no). I have a blackberry bold through work, it's fine as an email and basic web platform but that's about as far as I can use it.

Yup, the max I ever type is a short SMS at the most.

I hope they're not too gay, as I'm supposed to be getting a blackberry torch from work sometime soon. I really hope it's decent enough for me to use as just my regular phone as well, cause I don't want to have to carry 2 phones around.
I had one at my last job and they are great. They work well as phones and the email function is pretty awesome too - I love that they synch with your regular email.

Ugg, the whole appeal of the blackberry was that it has a fucking keyboard. Idiots...
Blackberry is losing market share to Apple, big time.
To compete better, they need to offer people both.

I'd rather you said IPhone. It may be the anti-christ, but it's a respectable platform. Only problem I have with it is that I can't use touch screens.
How is the iPhone a more respectable platform than Android?

I'm not worried about how it is as a work tool, more about how well it'll replace my personal phone. I have an iphone currently and absolutely love how effective it is at allowing me to avoid interaction with the people in my life. Not at all sure how blackberry stacks up in the area of timekillers.
