you can't do it and i doubt they will ever make it it defeats the whole purpose of the phone although i'm with you it does get annoying while texting and messaging but i'm getting use to it
the typing without clicking would only be beneficial, imo, when you are on a call. remember the curve? people would always ask "whats that noise" when i was replying to a text, or even moving the trackball too fast.....
Typing without the click would seriously make this phone 10x better for me. Everyone who does NOT think that typing without the click is better, just open an email and try it. Just tap a message out and see how much better it is
Unless you pause on every key before you press in your accuracy will be inr no way decreased. BRING ON THE CLICKLESS CLICK SCREEN!

I used my roommates LG Vu a few times before getting my storm (just to try out an on screen keyboard), and it has haptic feedback. That was all well and good until I got the storm and I was pressing really hard on his Vu today to try and type (he was driving, I was typing for him) waiting for the screen to click.
I think it would be pointless to type without clicking, which is why I don't like using Opera, because touching the screen makes it zoom in.

How can you say that it wont be or let me correct CAN'T be don't. It basically a computer and with the right software you can do pretty much anything!
Just give it a bit of time and there will be a plethora of apps out there that will allow for total customization of the storm.
I asked the Verizon tech on the phone when I was wrestling with setup issues. He said he doubts that they'll add a clickless typing option, a la iPhone.
RIM is almost certain never to do this. While it could technically be done, the clicking screen is the single biggest marketing point for the Storm. RIM isn't going to do anything to undermine that. Also, including such an option would likely involve a great deal of recoding for the Storm OS. It would create a lot of specialty code that then has to be maintained, on top of all the specialty code already in OS 4.7 that's currently ONLY used for the Storm.
If there's a second gen Storm, then MAYBE, but I doubt even then. I rather expect other companies will soon start copying RIM with the click screen and the touch screen as we think of it today will become a thing of the past. At least until someone cracks holographic displays that can be projected into mid-air. I'm not betting any of us will see that happen within our lifetimes though.
I'm not so sure third party coders could make this change system wide. It could easily be done on a program by program basis, but then you have to remember which apps require pressing the screen and which can work with simply tapping. Generally, app designers will follow RIM's lead and mimic the BB OS behavior as much as possible.
I don't understand how so many people don't like the clicking feature. I personally would have never bought this phone if it weren't for that because I loathe touchscreen
I like the click a lot it think it the coolest thing to hit a cell phone since those light up antennas and face plates everyone used to get for their Nokia phones

Lol! I remember those, they were absolutely horrendous!
I think the click screen is a feature that is best utilized for navigation of menus. Although I love the keyboard aspect of the screen, having the option to go clickless just for text input seems to make sense to me. I would think that implementing
such an option for just the keyboard should be doable.
