I just thought of it today, as I used a Storm 2 while en-route to swap from a Torch 9810 to a Bold 9930. I LIKE the click. I hate it when I text, as it artificially adds a delay between when you release one "key" in favor of another. But, what if that wasn't there? You aren't typing on the touch screen of a Bold. You really don't NEED to type on the touch screen of a Torch 9800/10. What if the sole purpose of SurePress was for clicking icons and links? Moreover, what if RIM was able to implement SurePress and have the ability to turn it off? Would it be worth the R&D to, perhaps, ship a Bold with it turned on and the ability to turn it off? Or, ship a Torch with it turned off and the ability to turn it on. Sounds like a way to distinguish themselves, especially from the ocean of all-touch handsets.
