Later on will BB10 have phone with keyboard and touch or just keyboard like bold 9900?

[kbz1960]

All of the above. The 9900 is touch also is it not?

[Ben1232]

Yep its keyboard and touch.

Kush_Chadha, its you who said that you're getting your 9900 in 8 days in another thread ?

If so, didn't you know ?

All BB10 phones will either be full touch or keyboard+touch (as in no keyboard only phones) because BB10 relies a lot on gestures/touch events that couldn't be simulated with a trackball/pad (which is also being removed from BB10)

That just rained on my parade...no trackpad

Agree - i really wish that as one option - they would retrofit new hardware into the exact same 9810 form factor. Perhaps boost the screen to 960x540 in a 4 in form factor, which would length the 9810 just a bit.

, i would be happy with the exact 9810 form factor, with new interals processor, memory, etc, running BB10.

I'm sorry, but that's not a valid reason for not having the trackpad. Using Bridge Remote, you can interact fully with a PlayBook using the trackpad on your phone. There's no reason why the PlayBook (or BB10) phone couldn't have one other than the idea that a trackpad is "old fashioned" and the iPhone and Android phones don't have one.

i want a track pad. Put it in the 9810 form factor version!
