Touchscreen versus keys, which do u prefer

Homeslice · 04-08-2009, 01:15 PM

For texting, I hear some people say they can't stand txting on a touchscreen. I guess they want to know they've actually pressed something? Dunno.

Finger grease on a screen is gross...

I like the surepress screen of the blackberry storm. Gives you best of both worlds. You get to keep the bigger screen size and have feedback that avoids miss pressing.

I was too old when the txt boom started, but I gotta admit it has its uses. Sometimes you just want to say something without wasting time saying hi or bye.

I used to be a strict keyboarder.. but the iPhone cured me of that.

I don't really care either way.. and the screen cover I have makes that whole fingerprint issue far less of an issue.

The problem I have with some keyboards is that they make the buttons really stiff to push, so it takes longer to do anything.

I typically prefer the keyboard but since my glyde is fuckin up again I'm sorta looking at the storm
