Touch screen phone frenzy

There seems to be a rush for the phone manufacturer to launch the touch screen phone, judging by the new model launch in the last 6 months. Probably inspired by the Apple iPhone, they are out to capture the touch screen phone market and it is gonna be the next in-thing. Having saw so many advertisements, review and did a little hands on. I would say it is all hype.

The key draw to iPhone is the user friendliness and revolution interface, provided the touch screen interface is not that difficult to use. However, the touch screen phones by other manufacturer are still using the old generation technology and concept. I tried the one model, the user interface response was very disappointing. The buttons were bigger, but in terms of intuitiveness and the responsiveness of button are still big question mark.

Therefore, I don't fancy getting a touch screen version. That's only personal preference. You might think otherwise.
