One of the dumbest decisions in regard to that device (making a touch sensitive keyboard that freaks out at certain weather conditions, might be another).
I don't buy a physical keyboard device to then type on the touchscreen half of the time....
Same question as usually when people talk about typo:
So how many did the guy sell?
How many keyboard accessories for phones (not tablets) are sold each year?
99.9% of the market is composed of touchscreen devices.
If people really want a keyboard, wouldn't a sizable part of the market buy those accessories?
If you want to say that 0.1% is still more than nothing, I congratulate you. You'll win the semantic argument.
If however, you understand that 0.1% of the whole market are completely negligible and are basically as low as you'll ever get (because you will be placed in the others group at some point), then yes, "nobody" wants physical keyboards anymore. At least on their phones.
That's the biggest question mark for me.
How in their right mind, could anyone think that producing a slider, and selling only a slider, is a better idea than to use the hardware and make a touchscreen phone?
Or at least sell both. Because that would make the most sense....
Chen hates all touch. I think its that simple.
Why would I buy a slider to not use the slider part?????????????????????????????????????????????? ??
Like honestly, why would I need the added bulk, the whole construction, if I don't want to use it?
Are you for real?
Should I also buy the Passport and not use the keyboard if I want an all touch high-end BlackBerry?
I don't know if you understand what this roadmap means...
It's probably one of the worst BlackBerry ever had.
