They should have talked to some users B 4 they built a "touch" screen
into a cell phone, - what fun that is going to be!

Why? I use the touch screen on my Treo all the time. One of the nifty
features of the iPhone is that when you raise it to your ear, the touch
screen turns off so your ear doesn't start hitting buttons.

What's so nifty about that? There was no problem with the Treo's touch
screen.

Paul, it takes both hands and eyeballs to operate a touch screen
anything...

You cannot "feel" the buttons when dialing , often with one hand, and
a lot of people do this....

....pick up phone, dial by feel...

I-phone.. may be a "novelity" for those that want to talk to someone
on their I-Pod.

....if there is anything left after the Cisco dudes are finished with
them....

I've got a Razr, a phone that by any measure has been successful. It is
virtually immpossible to dial by feel with it. Hence I use the voice dial
for most frequently called numbers.

What I don't understand is why I can't say "Dial 123-456-7890" and have it
dial that number.
