I agree that the touch screen is just something that I had to get used to, like having physical therapy if I'd had a long illness, just work at it until it became natural.

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.
