If the buttons are easy enough to get to, there's no need for it - the original BlackBerry trackwheel was fantastic for this, and although I'm not used to it, the ball mouse on the pearl and others seems pretty good too.
I'm reminded of a line from Jurrassic Park, for some reason... "We spent so long thinking about whether we could, we never stopped to consider whether we should" - touch screens are everywhere now, and in most cases entirely unnecessary.
Thats my opinion. Don't worry, no charge.

The major problem with touch screens, especially Win Mobile touch screens is they really aren't made to be used one handed or without the stylus. Looks like the iphone is more finger friendly. I would hope RIM would go this route with any possible touch screen model they might have in the pipe.
