back in my day... touch screen smart phones

[forgotten_aria]

I got to use someone's incredible (I think) last night and while I was amused at using the vibrate function to give physical feed back that you had touched a key, I couldn't get the hang of typing 'e's in stead of 'r's. I think I HAVE to have a physical keyboard on any phone I own. I just hope the market still has a nice supply of them by the time I need a new one.

I find on my blackberry I mostly type with my fingernails so when I try to type on a touchscreen this FAILS UTTERLY. It's not like I have super long nails and on a regular keyboard I can hit the key with both. But on a tiny interface I feel like I have more control with my nails.

So I also hate touchscreens.

Even on my awesome convertible tablet of awesometude I opted for one that is explicitly NOT a touchscreen - it ONLY responds to the magic pen and I want it that way. I can rest my hand on the screen (lightly) while I draw and that doesn't register as input.
