I actually like that style of keyboard. It looks like an iPhone keyboard. When I hold my S2 in portrait mode, I can't type on it. The keys are so squished together that even with my small hands, my fingers wind up hitting two buttons at once. I have to type in landscape mode.

I'm still not a fan of the raised buttons, but I may go play with this phone when it drops.

The transisition between portrait and landscape modes seems pretty good.

ill have to see it in person to determine how i feel about the raised buttons but the virtual keyboard looks good!

Looks super fast/responsive. Thanks sridharsuresh!

Screen looks huge, and keyboard looks really nice!

I still may need the physical kb of the Bold 9930... It all depends on whether the Bold's screen is big enough

**TurboTiger** · 07-26-2011, 07:54 PM

Nice video.

Hope I can type as fast as the guy in the video.

Thanks for the link sridharsuresh!

All these new OS 7 phones look fantastic. The most difficult task might just be picking between them.

FRIGGIN LOVE THAT PHONE. cannot wait for it to be released. the keyboard in landscape is a total upgrade from the GEN1 torch. keys are bigger and better response. Anyone know the release date?

**DoctorNeutron** · 07-26-2011, 08:53 PM

Again, I would like to see, especially for landscape, a little more distance between the bottom row (with the ^&$###@ space bar) and the next row up !!!

I like the phone. What's a seller to me is the battery life, memory and browser. Dont want to buy something with a name change, but still reminds of the Storm!

**Rootbrian** · 07-26-2011, 09:08 PM

Just awesome... I saw the video and this is a storm with a trackpad added with blinding astonishing great features

But i'll stick with a physical keyboard.

I had the original 9530 for almost a year and loved it ( with a stable 5.0 of course)... This one is tempting ... Looks very responsive.

**Redbird1** · 07-26-2011, 09:59 PM

Man, now I'm torn.....9900 or 9860?

I guess whichever lands at T-Mo first!

**xmen81** · 07-26-2011, 10:58 PM

looking great..response is also good.

**sris** · 07-26-2011, 10:58 PM

Really confused.. this one or the 9900 ?? Guess i ll finally wait and get the QNX SuperBerry.. Lol.

**netnomad** · 07-27-2011, 04:20 AM

The question is: When?

**NinjaRAT** · 07-27-2011, 02:59 PM

Didn't look like the reviewer used the number/symbol key, but i wonder if the new device does the same auto-numlock that the playbook keyboard features?

i really hope not as i find that really annoying. Probably my biggest gripe when i originally demod an iphone. Despite using the playbook for a couple months, its not growing on me.

may have to go with a 9930 for the physical keyboard.
