Thanks for replying. I wrote this post to hoping to start a discussion not to provoke bad feelings.
You're right, the 9900/Q10 are the best qwerty phones out there, because virtually only blackberry produces qwerty phones. However, if you've used the 9900 as I had, you'll find that the screen is much too small for browing the internet or text documents. And I doubt the Q10 screen will be large enough either. These are, but they didn't happen:

That's why I'm frustrated - because blackberry didn't deliver an all-in-one device that we hoped for. You said that microsoft etc are moving towards touch, but you're reluctant to admit that Blackberry is doing the same too. Their strategy of emphasizing the Z10, e.g. making it available sooner, is to marginalize the remaining qwerty fans. I suspect that they will cease offering qwerty phones next year, forcing the remaining brethren to make the switch too. This is unfortunate.
This is completely different from arguing whether the X10 screen should be 4 or 4.5 inch big, because both are probably large enough for web browsing. It's about whether the device is useable for browsing or not. For me, 3 inch screen is really too tiny.
