Research In Motion Ltd. (TSX:RIM) on Wednesday unveiled five new BlackBerry phones with touch screens, as it hopes to revive the line's dwindling appeal in the face of competition from the iPhone and Android smartphones.

    Ugg, the whole appeal of the blackberry was that it has a fucking keyboard. Idiots...

    My friend works for RIM in waterloo :D
    Anyways sort of a non news item as touch screen BB's have been available for over a year now.
    Anyways BB's are gay as hell !

    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.

    It is very decent. My friend runs his business basically through his phone (including email, BBM, and whatever more), and he went back to BB after having tried everything else.

    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.

    I'm still using windows mobile 7 on a HTC diamond bought second hand from Canada.

    Now there seems to be a hige and wode choice of devices with Andriod on them and most of them pretty cheap. So maybe....?

    I dunno what it is, either I'm uber clumsey or what, but when I try using touch screens they either don't work for me, or are completely out of whack, even when someone else is using them. I have to use one of those pen things in order to properly function a touch screen. I have no issue with that, aside from the damned things being so easy to lose.

    I've been using touch screen phones since my first Imate Pocket PC in 2005, before that I was the biggest Nokia fan but once touch screen came into my life. I knew it would never ever go back to using a phone with buttons again and I didn't.
