Are you trying to be obtuse, or is it an accident.

I carry a smart phone, too.  For a manageable sized phone, the touch
screen is a necessity, and the crap on the screen STILL bugs the crap
out of me.

I do NOT however carry and HF-6M radio around in my pocket, so it does
NOT need a touch screen, and one isn't desired.

I never SAID there was a FLAW in the "concept".  The concept is fine, I
just don't like them... and I have LOTS of company.

You want a touch screen... cool, buy one....  but I wouldn't be your
IS/IT support...  I HIGHLY discourage the use of touch screens by my
clients... and charge a premium to those who INSIST on using them.
