I found this intriguing, and thought would share it to see what are people's thoughts on it. This fat-thumb trick does seem like a great way to utilise gestures like pinch to zoom, which typically requires the use of both hands (if you don't want to risk dropping your phone). This can be useful in webpages too, though i know, double tapping works too, but this allows more controls over the level of zoom.
Since BB10 is touted as a phone that is easy to use even with one hand, do you think something like this would make it easier for one-handed use? or would it just cause more confusion?

This really resonates with me using the Torch 9860. I really think if BB10 can pull off the one handed usage thing well, it would be a seller for sure.

RIM has a little bit of an unproven record though in terms of producing high quality screens like its competitors have. Hopefully that would change quickly...
