touchscreen
do any of the BlackBerry devices use touchscreen?
...
no. but maybe in the future. i see no reason.....that clickwheel thing they have isnt bad.
...
None to this point. The trackwheel is designed for easier navigation. I have yet to hear if any touch screen phones are in the making.
...
didnt the motorola Q copy the blackberry with the little wheel thing?
...
Yes.
Although I'd love to see a phone sporting a nice looking body such as, say, the BB 8700c with a touch screen....I doubt it's gonna happen. BB's signature thing really is the trackwheel (aside from push e-mail that is) and a touchscreen would kinda make that useless.
Toss that tidbit in with the fact that touchscreens are more expensive and delicate and you don't exactly have a recipe for the corporate darling that BB has become.
Course then again they're talkin about addin cameras, wifi and mp3 playback in the future, so ya never know..... 🤨

There is a new 7130 size comming to tMobile with a touch navigation button (drag your finger across the button to move the cursor on the screen) no wheel for this one. Smaller, thinner, better color screen, with camera.
