Some analysts have questioned RIM for releasing a touch version first considering its most loyal users love the physical keyboard for typing.
Heins said the full touch screen was more complicated and they needed to focus on releasing that first. He has also acknowledged that RIM failed to quickly adapt to the emerging "bring your own device" trend, in which employees bring their personal touch-screen iPhones or Android devices to work instead of relying on BlackBerrys issued by their employers
Heins said they want to participate in that trend by releasing a touch version first.
