Full Touch Screen Phones

I have mixed feelings about phones switching to touch screen keyboards, I feel nothing beats the feel of keys; I can type faster and work the phone faster using real keys. Now don’t get me wrong I do like touch screens for selecting menus and browsing the phone but not for the keyboard. Palm and windows have been using touch screens for a long time now, but not for keyboards(yes they had the screen keyboards but it’s not the primary). Definitely touch screen technology has improved so the ability to do more with it on phones is easier now but do we really need touch screen keyboards? I use a blackberry curve 8330 from Verizon and I love the keyboard for emails, texting and everything else. One of the problems I see is what happens if you crack your screen? The whole phone can’t be used and could put your phone out of commission. And no matter how strong phones are the screen is still sensitive for scratches and ware, so when your screen becomes your typing source and your viewing area any damage or ware will get in your way on your screen instead of being isolated on a keyboard. In the same area how long are these touch screen surfaces going to last? Or will they ware out faster then keys? Of course with the touch screen becoming more and more popular more phones are going to start changing there phones. Of the phones that have came out using touch screens the ipone and the storm being the two most popular ones out now, I don’t think I would go for either one but more toward the bold or alterative. Basicly do we really need phonrs that are full touch screens? What do you think?

Welcome

This is the first of hopefully many blogs I will be doing about technology new old and everything in between not just to inform you but because it’s my passion. I want to do this blog because in the technology is all around use even more today than ever before and who would have thought it would be 2009? Wear is our flying cars is always a funny point made in the past about this time period. We will look into the realistic or stuff that’s out or on its way out and even old stuff that’s still very useful. But I first want to let you know a little about my background. My history in computers I went to ECPI and I started PTCANC.com and started contracting with modis doing system conversions for the Rite Aid / brooks Eq conversions. At the end I was offered an tech position with Rite Aid supporting the computers/printers/network for stores is North Carolina. I am very passionate for technology, it’s my hobby and career so I take it very seriously and always try to inform and help those who use it but don't know much about it. But I am not going to do many how to's but do more of providing information to help save you money which we all want to do. I don’t in anyway think I know everything about computers and technology and don’t think there is anyone out there that does, I know what I need to and research the rest. I still try to not throw my opinion in but on a few subjects I will remember its my opinion you may have a different one so arguing it will not change my mind on it.
