Trackball vs. Touchscreen?

What do you prefer and why?

Its really depends on the touchscreen. If your talking about sure press from the Storm 1, then I say trackball

Agree, it does depend on the touchscreen. I like a full keypad, but am anxious to try out the Storm 2 or "Odin"

Yes I do too. I like touchscreens but absolutely hated the Storm 1

I am 100% trackball. The thought of using another touchscreen
device makes me want to hurl

I've used both extensively. I prefer a trackball I guess since I hate typing on a touch screen.

I prefer the trackball. I've just never found a touchscreen I'm comfortable with. I'm also looking forward to testing out an optical trackpad and seeing what all the buzz is about.

Had the HTC Touch before a became a Crackberry...no way I would go back!

Prefer the touchscreen + optical trackpad + dpad combo that my phone has. Trackball works nice, but the whole "moving parts" reliability thing is an issue since they made it a lot harder to disassemble.

I'm willing to put up with a lot to have the large screen area, but after fooling with the iPhone and the Pre I thought I was going to be stuck with a Winmo phone. Without stylus capability I absolutely suck at touchscreens. The Storm with Surepress, once the screen was adjusted so it clicks properly, made all the difference. I can now visually see what I'm on before I click on it. It may be slower for some, but for me it's faster since there's no where near as much correction necessary.

TrackBall and full keyboard for me any day of the week!

Trackball all day. Touchscreen only means I have to touch the thing I want to see clearly. Don't want prints in my screen.
