Plastic is a better material as opposed to metal, or glass. Its lighter and more durable. Which is the reason many manufacturers use it, including RIM. So something feeling "plasticy" is a good thing.That's some height
Not moaning at other phones but I picked up a galaxy s3 last week in the shop. Its so plasticy. I thought it may be a dummy phone but wasn't cos I had a go on the touch screen. Same with the shops ipad too.
*no trolling here*
Just saying

It's The Track Pad (and real keyboard) Stupid!
Don't cheat yourself by allowing phone manufacturers to save money by giving you a piece of glass instead of a real keyboard and trackpad!
Here's why:
One hand, one thumb navigation!!!!!!
Try that with any other glass face phone. Hint( your thumb can't cover the whole screen)
Trackpad:
Only with a trackpad are you not REQUIRED to use the touchscreen to navigate anywhere you want to go, meaning you can use one hand.
Think about it.
While the touchscreen is (was) a fun novelty, it actually requires extra work for most input functions other than scrolling.
With a touchscreen only device:
You have to be careful not to accidentally click an item when you just meant to scroll, while with a trackpad a click is differentiated from a tap by the extra positive action of pressing the pad
You have to pinch zoom for precise cursor placement in text fields, or touching a link, with a trackpad you simply move over one space or one link.
You HAVE to hold the device with two hands, to poke at areas of the larger screen area, with a trackpad you use the thumb of the same hand that is holding the device, and barely move your thumb.
With a real keyboard instead of glass, you can feel positively when you are on the correct key without looking to be sure you did not miss and hit the key next to it.
With the dedicated call, menu, escape (back) and call end keys, for these most often used functions, you will always know where they are and what they do! and you can use them all with one hand without even looking. That's gold to me.
This is why no other phone will ever ever do.
You can have your apps, just give me a reliable phone that performs the basics well. After all, it's a phone, not a Cray super computer.
And for OS10 don't let them get away with saving THEIR costs by giving up OUR physical keyboard and trackpad like they did on the Playbook!!!07-06-12 10:03 PM - Telling the truth about other phones is considered trolling in here and you have to apologize?That's some height
