Hey Ricardo, IDK, maybe it's psychological, but it seems easier to me. If you FaceTime from your phone, you have to open Contacts, go to the contact you want, select FaceTime, then select the number or email address. If you do it from the Touch, when you open FaceTime, you're already in your contacts, so you just select the one you want. You're also already in FaceTime, so you don't have to select that either, so you just tap the number or email you want. It's only a couple of steps, but it feels less cumbersome.
