WHY are they getting rid of the trackpad?
- I completely agree with the OP. I want the QWERTY devices which will tend to have slightly smaller screens keep some sort of trackpad, it makes the smaller screens so much more precise in web browsing and when you press it can make perfect orientation to read text.
Even if the trackpad was a software option on the screen, I'll take it! I just cannot see all bezel swipes, pinch to zoom, or fat fingers on 2.8'' to 3'' screens, it makes no sense!06-27-12 03:36 PMLike 0 - The reason I like the trackpad (or one reason at least) is -- I do not like placing my finger or hand over the content I am reading.
Same reason a mouse on a pc blows away those stupid all in one touch PCs.gregorylkelly likes this.06-27-12 03:43 PMLike 1 - And casual perusal of the OP's post history will show that they are apt to be upset at just about anything RIM does; accordingly, this rabble-rousing mob mentality thread is to be paid no mind.
Grrrrrrrrrr I'm so angry GGGGRRRRRRRRRRR06-27-12 03:51 PMLike 0 - I don't think people are comparing the Bold 9900 experience, I think most people are comparing the PlayBook experience which runs off the same base OS that BB10 will.06-27-12 05:50 PMLike 0

Not a show stopper for me, just preference.06-27-12 06:04 PMLike 0 - I am going to put my faith in RIM for now in hopes that they pull this off. They did such an amazing job n the 9900 (my opinion), lets just see what happens. No need to start loosing it this far ahead of the release.southlander likes this.06-27-12 06:30 PMLike 1

Personally I doubt it. I'm pretty sure bridge on the BB10 phones will act like bridge on current BB phones. Right now you can't connect a BB phone to another BB phone using bridge, understandably so (what the would be the point?). And, considering the bridge on BB10 phones will be there for the same purpose as bridge on current phones (to connect to a PlayBook, etc....) I don't see them changing anything about connectivity.06-27-12 07:31 PMLike 0 - I don't know about the rest of you, but trying to use some drop-down menus on the playbook is damn near impossible. Gotta hold the tab which opens the drop-down menu, but when you remove your finger to select the desired option, the drop-down menu disappears. But, with bridge, you can use the cursor to open a drop-down menu and click the option you want.
Precision is needed.
Trackpads help.06-27-12 08:29 PMLike 0 - If Crackberry didn't have a profanity filter, I would explode right now at your stupidity. The Playbook has a 7 inch screen and a browser that renders websites natively at proper resolutions because it has a 7 inch screen. On a < 3 inch screen the website is SHRUNK and displays EXTREMELY SMALL where EVERYTHING such as buttons appear EXTREMELY SMALL and are mushed up together where if you try to use a fat finger, you end up clicking both buttons. Which is why the trackpad is needed to fix this issue which is caused by hardware (a 2-3 inch screen).
I advise you to stop talking.
Oh, well.06-28-12 12:04 AMLike 0 - 1) Moving parts are prone to wear, the track pad is a moving part that can wear out after so many clicks; the track ball was worse I wore out five of those over the years.
2) The main reason is screen real estate; the button bar where the track pad was takes up room that could be used for more touch display.06-28-12 12:11 AMLike 0 - Personally I'm hoping they make the screen big enough on the keyboard phone that the loss of the trackpad won't be a huge issue. The only thing I want to see on the front of the phone other than the screen is the keyboard. Anything else is just taking up screen space.06-28-12 09:09 AMLike 0
