same here, if it had come out when I got my first iPhone, I probably would have gone for it. unfortunately, by the time the time that the first version came out, I had got fairly used to the touch screen. I can see another application for this device however, that is as a sort of remote, if one is in a situation when one doesn't want to take one's phone out, but may want to access it, such as whilst on horseback for example. so as I know you are in the UK, what price are you knocking it out for?

I don’t think the touch screen is the be all and end all either as a smart phone etc could obviously be made with or without buttons. It could have gone that way I suppose. When I started with iPhone there was nothing out there to help me; if there had been I wonder if I’d have taken advantage of it. I suspect I might have. But as things are I have no desire for the sort of thing this thread is about, nor for the Speed Dots as I feel they would take away the smooth interaction or dare I say, sensual, feel of the screen under my fingers. I do use a bluetooth keyboard if I want to type for any length of time. It is QUERTY as since learning to type as a teenager that’s my preferred method of input.
