Hello guys! I just want to ask those who uses/used touch screen phones. I'm planning on of getting the new iPhone 3G S but I'm having a second thoughts on buying and using it. I'm afraid that I might easily break it for too much usage or not be able to use it too much at all for some other reasons. Can you point out to me the pros and cons of these types of phones? Are these touch screen phones hard to use specially for SMS and the use of other features? Please share me about your experience on this phones.

I have an LG Vu touchscreen phone. I would say it is easier to navigate things with a touchscreen because you can slide and push with your finger instead of a button. On the flip side of that, some times touchscreens don't read your push, so you have to apply enough pressure to the screen. And some times they misread your finger and click something else. However, I do find texting to be easy with a touchscreen keypad. Using features like the camera and video are easy as well, and even the internet and email since it feels more like a browser than a phone screen.

Dont even worry about it whatsoever. I have an iphone 3g and good god i have owned it for 7 months and my phones get a little wear and tear but it has taken it really well. The touch screen is easy to use and i highly recommend it also it is very easy to navigate when typing. It has a great auto- correct for the keyboard and when you are texting or online most of the time it corrects your words that you have spelled wrong. Believe me it is the right decision the iphone is the best there is out there today!

You will not break the iPhone by using it too much. The main con of these phones are the cell phone plans/carriers that come with them, in most cases its required that you have an internet plan that is about $30, and that doesn't even include talk and text.

Goodday macdrizzle,

From the very first release of Apple of its iPhone I really want to buy it, but unfortunately it is too expensive for, that's why until now, I can't afford to buy it lol. It is my dream phone. Thank you for your response and thank you for sharing your idea about iPhone.

God bless.
Happy MyLotting thumbup.

i am not sure if this apply to iPhone..
But some touchscreen i tried is pretty difficult to operate. It often take more than a click and often frustrating. Also if you are one with sweaty palm like a friend of mine, it got worst. i am also interested in iPhone, hoping to hear things like it doesn't have such problem.


myLot reputation of 93/100. brienn (402)   ranked 337 out of 498 in mobile phone  4 months ago

Good day essl87,

I think this will not apply to iPhone, cause I have tried to use my friends iPhone before and it is very easy to operate happy. And that's one of the reasons why I really one to have an iPhone, hope I can get more money to buy my iPhone. But you are correct about that there are some touch screen phone that are difficult to navigate and operate. Thank you for your response lol.

God bless.
Happy MyLotting thumbup.

I just bought the LG enV touch and I really like it. The touch screen is really nice and it is taking some time to get used to, but I am in no hurry to figure it all out. I had never had a touch screen before this one, and I am glad that I bought it, and the price was right as I got a $100 rebate, and I am all for that. I really don't know what you are looking for as far as features are concerned. I hae seen the iphone, but have never used one as I am not with AT&T. The lok like a nice phone though no doubt about it. I do however have the ipod touch which is like the iphone but you can't call on it. I can put lots of games and songs on it. With my phone, I like the fact I can go on mylot anywhere since I don't need wifi. I guess you could say that all phones have pros and cons to them. Just weigh your option and see what is best for you, and it also depends on your carrier. I am with Verizon and before that t-mobile, so I know nothing of any other carriers or their phones. Take care, and happy mylotting. happy

God bless.
Happy MyLotting thumbup.
