Sounds dumb, but that space feature is much needed. I always have a b in place of a space using my Note 2.

Or you could download swiftkey on android.

Which isn't really an option if someone chooses to buy a BlackBerry...

WRONG!!!!

I have to agree with you there. Still, swiftkey is miles ahead of this keyboard

Who's talking about android? Its about blackberry and swift key is a app, something NOT built into android .

Consumers do not wait!

Release the Kraken as soon as possible! But I think it may be too late...

Too late rim... Too late

while larger screens are nice, everyone i know who has loved BB always stuck with them due to the HW keyboard, not sure how RIM is going to persuade new users here with legacy items finally disappearing

Yeah, the devices that RIM released without a physical keyboard were utter failures. In fact I have managed to forget their model numbers, they were such a failure. The BB owners I know (as well as former BB owners) are/were in love with the physical keyboards on the BBs. I wonder how well the touch-only BBs will do. If they tank, that could bias buyers against the BBs with physical keyboards that are scheduled for release a few months later.

Just got to mess with a Dev Alpha B device and the keyboard is pretty good. Can't wait to try the Dev of the physical keyboard.
