Useless pieces of shit based on 1 and 1 concept only: eye candy.

Try and prove to me that touch screen phones are better than qwerty phones for anything other than the aforementioned concept.

Bet you can't do it.

Have you tried typing anything on a touch screen? Even typing a text message is tedious without the tactility of a keyboard.

More intuitive. You can do a lot more which leads to better options. These days people want the latest phone that can do everything and quite often only the touch screen ones offer this.

AGREED. I once stole an iphone, put my sim card in it, but decided I wanted my old PDA instead, so I sold it. Hell yah.

Addendum: fuck touchscreen-ONLY phones. All the hybrid touchscreen/qwerty keyboard phones are A. OK.

I agree that touchscreen only phones are bad. I have the Samsung Glyde so if my phone's touch stops working, I'm out of luck because you can't navigate with the keyboard. Nevertheless, I still like it.

Well I have used all 3 kinds of phones in the past - QWERTY, touch and the normal keypad.

The normal keypad is the worst of course, but after getting a touch phone I've decided that I could never NOT have a touch screen phone now. It's basically a QWERTY board anyway just touch screen style. Very easy to use, I text so much quicker and I touch type, which is actually easy to do on those tiny things and usually the phones will have built in features that know the correct errors made and will try to help you fix them.

On my iphone, if I accidently type 'dind', it will assume I meant to type in 'find' and change my word to that once I've put the space.

It's fantastic.

I have a touchscreen.

1. It's easier to type on.
2. The screen in larger.
3. It has more applications/features.
4. Browsing the Internet is easier.
5. It looks better.
6. There are no sliding parts.
7. The buttons adjust themselves, so you don't have a full keyboard with tiny ass numbers or that new duel-sided keypad shit.

Lol.

Oh god the letters on a touch screen are a bitch to fucking press. And on the iPhone/iTouch, the auto correcting really fucks you over. Now, the keys are too small for my fingers and I usually end up pressing 2-3 buttons. Not because I'm fat, but because the screen is so small >:C

Also, my dad has the Instinct by Samsung I think and it used to make calls just because he sat down with the phone in his pocket.

Eyecandy? Yes.
Useful? Maybe if you have baby hands.
Pieces of shit?

Ya damn skippy.

I have fat manly hands and I've never had any problems.

It's not about how big your fingers are, just how you press the screen. You don't need to slam your whole fingertip there, just lightly touch is enough, and easy to do.

Hey "genius", if you are bitching about touch screen phones... and one of your arguements is how you don't like using the touch screen keyboard.... I was informing you that some touchscreens have built qwerty keyboards. Your argument about typing on a touchscreen is worthless, since you can have a touchscreen phone and not have to use it to type.... I'm also posting from my G1. Works fine for me.

I tried that, then I tried turning it over and using it as a sidekick, and then I tried going slow like a grandma and then I gave up and threw it.

You missed my addendum then. I'm talking about touchscreen-only phones. I've used a G1 before and they rock. Though they feel a bit prototype-ish to me.

It's okay to be envious, we all are, just don't make a fool of yourself publicly due to your lust of another mans objects.

First of all, idiots resort to ad hominem. Nice try at making a point. Idiot.

Second, gee I wonder what these are!

Fuck touchscreen phones.

Love you, kiddo.

Once again, resorting to ad hominem. I've had touchscreen phones for a year now and by now I've realized how useless they are. And what do you think forums are for? Specifically NG general? I'm sure all the topics you've made have been life changing and highly intellectual.

Also, I'm 22. Your 18. Kiddo. I understand you think you are hot shit because of that, but please, refrain from throwing your maturity in other peoples faces. It gets you no where.

I've got my eye on the Palm Pre. It looks to be just as good as the iphone, but you don't have to pay insane amounts of cash for AT&T and it doesn't have the Apple logo.

I don't think anyone deserves to be called kiddo more than guys like you.

Well mister mature 18 year old, explain to me what exactly I have done to look dumb. You attempted to patronize me, very unsuccessfully. Then got mad when I threw one your way, even though you cast the first stone. Continued with the age thing, then I proved you wrong. Yet again. So now I'm an whiney attention whore.

Yeah makes perfect sence. Sorry, you're the dumb shit here that needs to grow the fuck up. Give your balls a few more years to drop, guys tend to mature slower than girls.

Iphone is dominating the phone revolution and till this day no phone has beaten its power, Haha i mean just have a look at the sorry ass knock off`s from LG and Samsung and Nokia..etc

All Lag like fuck and cant do shit,

Ps : I type very fast on an iphone keyboard aspecialy with the OS 3.1 update.

Fuck touchscreen phones.

Also sez the child who A. started the derailment himself, B. was the first to insult (but I'm assuming in your world, intellectual profanity-free insults do not count), and C. has the picture of his ugly white ass in his profile. Yeah. You are that special kind of stupid I love to wipe the floor with.
