    What do you guys think? Is this the direction RIM could be heading? Please share your opinions.

    I don't see the point of an optical trackball on a touch screen device. I can definitely see future BBs moving away from physical trackballs to optical trackballs if latter proves popular. The less moving parts, the better!

    The Storm 2 will probably look more like the new all-black Curve than the Bold. All-black definitely is a good look. The mixture of silver plastic and/or silver with black is outdated already!

    Lets hope they are able to address some of the glaring problems with the Storm, first and foremost buggy, poorly designed and laggy OS.

    Do you ever have anything new to say? You have like 3 basic comments, and it doesn't matter how many times you repeat them, they don't magically become any more true.

    Sorry Civic, but source please? I'm not sure I'm for the trackball idea (and, this eerily looks like the photoshop one you made last month).

    good photoshop but not good enough lol

    Kinda looks like they are taking the Samsung Omnia idea with the optical mouse thing.

    thats possibly because RIM keeps updating copy and pasting instead of the things people really care about, like speed....stability..

    My mom always taught me to finish one project (and get it right) before I start the next project. Too bad my mom didn't raise the execs at RIM

    Interesting enough, but isn't a optical track pad on a touch screen phone redundant?

    No, actually it isn't. It makes navigation and small finite selections (i.e. editing) much faster and precise then it currently is. It would also make programs that would run in Compatibility Mode easier to control as well. Think out of the box people...
