everybody including myself so far has also forgotten to mention their impressions or expectations regarding how blackberry's app selection is also going to affect their sales, both at launch and in the long run. i'm not sure but i thought i saw in the tech news the other day about google making some major gains or possibly passing or coming close to passing apple's total number of apps. google and apple are both furiously determined to maintain their dominant positions but blackberry seriously seems to not have that same kind of passion to make themselves truly appealing in any way. an incomparably smaller app selection with higher prices is another major turnoff not included among the many above-mentioned others. maybe blackberry simply has too many flaws or too flawed of a business model/strategy to be successful.?
What are you all's thoughts on this??

No, I don't think so after seeing how well it works on the Q10 - looking forward to playing with it.

Hey there is a trackpad on my 9900. Huh. Why? There a HUGE laptop size trackpad 1mm above it.

However the little trackpad works good with my work gloves.

1) the trackpad is a ton more accurate for text selection
2) as you said, the trackpad works with gloves
3) on a bigger phone (like my Torch 9800 for example) there's a lot less reaching across the screen with my thumb. With the screen extended, I can reach any icon or feature using the trackpad by moving my thumb less than 1/2 inch.

the lack of a trackpad has made me which over to the Z10, also because i cannot wait any longer

Keyboard + no Trackpad = deal breaker.

I find full touchscreen phones totally obnoxious and a pain to use. The Q10 is great hardware wise but the lack of a trackpad is going to make it a real pain for accurate navigation and getting work done.

The lack of a track pad was the deciding factor to go ahead and upgrade to a S3. Really miss my blackberry though. I'll just have to play with the Q10 when it is released to see if I want to switch back. Did I say I really miss my blackberry?

Translation: BB dropped the trackpad, so I went ahead and dropped my trackpad equipped phone for an S3 - which happens to have no trackpad.

I think I'm just going to have to get used to it. It's not like there's any other phone people can switch to so they can have a trackpad (of my knowledge). And look at the bright side... The trackpad/trackball have always been notorious for breaking. My Bold 9900 had to be replaced because it would constantly scroll up in sunlight, rendering everything useless.

Shame to lose the trackpad especially for brick breaker. However when typing that line fills with predictive words-swings and round abouts. The Q10 has picked up front/rear facing cameras with auto focus. Hope it gets an FM radio which specs havent confirmed.

I will really need to try this thing out when it's finally available in the united states. I'm wishing they hadn't eliminated the track pad and buttons as I thought they went hand in hand with the physical keyboard, but I will give it a look before immediately dismissing it.
