I'm with you, Seigard. Once you get the hang of the touch screen and realize that it is a touch screen, not a bang screen, it does pretty much what it says it will do. For me, most of it has been just learning what I really needed to do. For instance, I get annoyed by notifications, tried to cut them back. I was using the phone today, and it started about a voice mail that I was well aware of, and I heard it say something about tap or double tap, can't remember, but I did, and it shut the thing up, so that I could be in control and tend to the voice mail on my terms when I wanted to.
The other day, my daughter-in-law wanted me to hear a message that she forwarded me. I said I did not know how to do that while in conversation with someone, so she asked me to hang up, check it, then call her with my opinion, which I did. I am sure there is a way to do that. Do any of you ever do that, while talking check other things on the phone, and how, please?

I understand that there might be a few cases where a person for whatever reason can't touch the phone, e.g. if they are quadriplegic, have no hands etc. Apple and now Google have put a lot of very smart people to work to come up with this incredible way to make touchscreen devices extremely accessible, apps like Flicktype make typing very efficient with a bit of practice yet some people still think they are better off trying to avoid touching that screen as much as possible. Maybe I miss something here, but I just don't get it.
