And now it's back again thanks to the iPhone. The fad faded away before...mostly because dedicated touchscreens...are simply impractical. They are tolerable as long as the device they are on also has REAL buttons (ie: slide away buttons). But a purel dedicated touchscreen device is simply very impractical. I hope this renewed touch screen fad fades away like before. If they can make a super-advanced touch screen whose flat surface can morph into tactile buttons when buttons are displayed...then I would be interested in that device. Btw...NOKIA is working on just such a thing...they are planning to use nanotech to achieve the effect. It'll be a while before we see a prototype though...

GO TOUCH SCREENS! :) touchscreen are a great new change to a keypad. for example, your keypad doesnt wear out and fall off on a touchscreen, and is one gets dirty just wipe it off. also if you have little scratches, just use a damp cloth with a bit of toothpaste to sand it outthen dry it off.

Thank God for touch-screen's, and touch-key pads. I put my stylus on a stringband around my neck. And the bigger the phone the better !

In my opinion, for having tried a few touch-screen devices in the past years, touch-screens are not ideal for cell phones. We'll see how the technology develops though and how well the manufacturers can make the screens respond. People are always reluctant to changes.
