Bold 9900 is the most productive phone I ever owned. The keys were really tight together, but they carefully made the shapes so it was very easy to know which keys I was hitting without even thinking about it. The touchpad was super accurate. The escape and BB buttons next to the touchpad plus lots of keyboard shortcuts meant I could really jam around the interface without going through zillions of menus or icons and whatnot. The touchscreen made it really sweet to just click or rapidly scroll. The overall size was easily small enough to fit comfortably in my pocket. I think what it comes down to is that the use-case is for people who need to read and respond professional messages in a timely manner as the primary function of the device. I wish someone would just take that exact form factor and turn it into a simple Bluetooth tool that connects to messaging apps.
