BlackBerryCool reported about the RIM Conference Call yesterday. That very question came up.

5:48 – Second iPhone question: touch screen.
Balsillie: There’s a lot of market research in what we do.. There’s been some debate previously on touch and tactile things and graffiti. I think the best thing is for these devices is to get out to market and get going.

In a nutshell, I think RIM is going to see how the market reacts to the touch screen before diving in head first. Personally I am not a big fan of the touch screen. If its executed well I might change my mind. Guess we will have to wait and see.
