So How Much Bigger Are The Keys?
So if the Bold 9650 (that I have) has a width of 61mm (2.4") and a pretty decent amount of the sides are the chrome bezzle:

Then how much bigger actually did they make the keys for the Bold Touch seeing as it is 66mm but the bezzle is a LOT smaller too. I'll figure out the mathematics, but I figured that I wanted to include you guys into the discussion to get some insight [; (Just another thing to talk about while we wait)
I'll start you off with the the specs/equation. 66mm-61mm=5mm (add maybe 3 mm because the bezzle looks about that much smaller) so 8mm = about 13% larger keys.(I added 8mm to the 61 that the 9650 is to get 69mm, of course the bold touch is not 69mm, but with he smaller bezzle it appears as if you will gain 3mm extra, so I simply did 69/61=1.131=13.1%) Since there are 10 keys in a row, each key is like .8mm bigger (width wise). Is that 13.1% bigger buttons(about .8mm bigger on each button) that noticeable when typing? those of you who have used the bold 9000 etc, some insight would be nice.
PS. Feel free to check my math, just did it real fast.
You will find that the 9900 keys are much better
You will find that the keys of the 9900 are far superior to any other Blackberry because, like the original Bold 9000, they offer a perfect ergonomentric fit for typing. It's not just the extra size, its also the slightly angled shaped keys which offer a more tactile response.
