Tactile Feedback on Keyboard?

When reading reviews on the Touch Pro, they alwats talk about the Tacticle Feedback through the slide out keyboard on the Touch Pro. However, I have never has this on my unit, nor can I find a place to turn it on/off. Was this a feature left out on the CDMA units or is mine just not functioning properly?

I believe this is referring to the fact that the slide out keyboard has actual keys that depress when they are pushed (True Tactile Response). This is opposed to a touchscreen keyboard that does not move when touched. With the exception of the upcoming BlackBerry Storm (in which the whole screen depresses), some touchscreen keyboards implement a simulated tactile feedback using a vibration response.

yea, "tactile" just means that they are actual keys, lol. "tactile feedback" is simply referring to how it feels to use the keyboard.

The vibrate response I believe you are referring to is known as Haptic Feedback

Which was the WORST feature that I added to my mogul when it work. It wouldn't respond quick enough to my dialing speed. Quickly tapping the keys wouldn't cause it to respond.
