Just look at the layout and do a comparison versus existing trackpad layouts. That site clearly has the model applicability wrong. But I think it will be nearly as unusable as the portrait mode full QWERTY on the Storm's. Ok for a couple keystrokes but forget serious text entry unless you have thumbs the size of a 5 year old.

They could make a keypad to go into one with surepress. Wouldn't work. Will this be called the Bold 9100 due to the keypad?? lol. (Referencing the Tour2/Bold 9650) ;) This would have to be a separate build. They could make a keypad to go into one with surepress. Wouldn’t work.

So this keyboard can't fit under a screen. This shows us, that the new keyboard will be the first piece that we have ever seen of the new Blackberry 9100 FLIP. Further Reasons: - FLIP is small enough - FLIP has the call- und the menubutton over each other - by FLIP the screen isn't next to the keyboard, so that the upper corners of the keyboard can be rounded as we have seen in the picture - the old FLIP isn't listet by any carrier any longer, so RIM will release a new one in a few month. - The keyboard is sold as the Blackberry 9100 keyboard. This seams to be right, but it only would fit in the new 9100 FLIP. So the new FLIP will be called the BLACKBERRY 9100 FLIP and I think it will have the same specs than the new 9100.

This shows us, that the new keyboard will be the first piece
that we have ever seen of the new Blackberry 9100 FLIP.

Further Reasons:

- FLIP is small enough

- FLIP has the call- und the menubutton over each other

- by FLIP the screen isn’t next to the keyboard, so that
the upper corners of the keyboard can be rounded as we
have seen in the picture

- the old FLIP isn’t listet by any carrier any longer, so
RIM will release a new one in a few month.

So the new FLIP will be called the BLACKBERRY 9100 FLIP
and I think it will have the same specs than the new 9100.

I've used it once before and NEVER again! A BlackBerry Pearl device with a "traditional" keyboard though? Now THAT is worth a closer look...
