Here is a great write up about an upcoming HTC Device called the HTC Tachi (aka HTC Twin).. It looks to be both CDMA and GSM and will have a VGA screen... Also, it will be the first device to launch with WM 6.5 as the standard operating system...

no its not, just a button. A roller ball would be pretty useless on a windows mobile 6.5 device.

perhaps, but remember they did attempt to implement a rolling/scrolling like feature on the diamond by running your finger in a clockwise or counterclockwise motion around the enter button. A rollerball would be a more efficient implementation of this idea. Maybe not as useless as you think, HTC sure doesn't think so...

If it was Windows Mobile Standard (non-touchscreen), I could see it being useful... But that is obviously not the case..

I'm just stating that they tried to implement something similar on a windows mobile touchscreen device with one of the most responsive touchscreens to date.
