    That just continues the original thought for about half the country.

    BS, how about countless other phones that have those type of keyboards? Come on BB.

    I think this is a look-and-feel issue with BB's physical keyboard, not to physical keyboards on phones in general.

    Correct. The answer lies in the (current) company's name.

    He definitely copied the BB keyboard, even the QWERTY layout.

    Blackberry was very innovative in their day.  Honestly even today, their server side tools have features that no one else has and their keyboard is one of the best physical phone keyboards I have used.  They just didn't realize that consumers will pay a little bit more for a good experience from your competition (unlike corporate bean-counters).

    Lawyers are always the last go. They are the bacteria in the hollows of a corpse feeding on the once living body.

    I didn't know BB keyboards were detachable. Is the font of the characters the same on the keyboard? It sounds like sour grapes from BB. They wish they had thought of it first.

    What the hell else is a little chiclet keyboard going to look like, exactly? Maybe Cadbury should sue BB and Seacrest both.
