The BlackBerry ’s keyboard is an aim of worship , and RIM CEO Mike Lazaridis has publicly enjoin the iPhone’stouch keyboard sucks . So , theBlackBerry Thunder‘s touch keyboard had better be the good one you ’ve ever slander your fingerprint on . According to Crackberry , it has two big tricks : The projection screen itself is “ sort of like a big clit , ” so it drive in a little fleck with a clicky sound , and it buzzes where you agitate it ( localized haptics ) . There is one big restriction though .

you may use either the full QWERTY or SureType keyboard . But , SureType is for portraiture mode , and QWERTY is for landscape painting . purportedly you may use either one anytime , but if you only require to employ QWERTY , you ’re going to be holding your earpiece sideways a lot . One thing that is n’t confirmed yet is whether or it ’s multi - touch ( we hope it is ) . It does utilise WebKit for the web internet browser locomotive engine ( same as Safari ) , so if there ’s multi - touch , the browsing experience will be similar to the iPhone ’s .
We wo n’t know whether this really adds up to the good sense of touch keyboard ever until we put our hands on it , but it ’s pretty reasonable to believe this is one area RIM wo n’t be cutting corners . [ Crackberry ]
