HOW do you manage to press those teeny little squares on the touchscreens and not mash all the adjacent ones as well? Wife has far smaller hands than I (it's her new toy, reviews are positive thus far)....and I keep hearing a steady stream of profanities as she tries to type url's....it doesn't seem to respond to pencil erasers, etc.....They make a small bluetooth keyboard, but that would seem to contradict why one actually buys the thing to begin with

I personally don't care for touch screens, I have that env touch...has the touch screen front and a QWERTY kb as well. Touch screen gets annoying, randomly calls people and plays music if it's in my pocket.

Practice.  At first its hard, and for someone who's never really used one before I'd never expect them to type more than a word a minute.

My voyager does the same.  That's why I bought a Body Glove for it and it stays on my belt

 Its funny I had a complete disdain to smart phones , but now can't get off the son - of - buck . when you start its a complete learning process . I got Blackberry Tour and would not be happy without it . Which is why its called The Crackberry . I can read my program files send company emails and work like a man under the influance . I had a hard time with my small keyboard but now whip thru there like an old pro . It just takes time .

Does your wife have long fingernails? They make touchscreens pretty tough.

I have the AT&T tilt and I love it.  It has a touchscreen and I have no problem with it as I lock it when I dont use it and I put it in a leather case.  It has a qwerty keyboard as well as I made sure the phone I had gotten would have both a touchscreen and keyboard.  Touchscreen is nice where everything is available with a touch and the keyboard makes typing quick.  I can also physically write letters out using the transcribing feature with the touchscreen.

I tried the iphone out and found that I wasnt able to push the letters that close together which is a reason I wanted the keyboard.  I did download a touchscreen keyboard since all programs are free for windows phone for my phone and its similar to the iphone keybaord but the letters are more spaced out so its easier to push.

I do plan on getting the AT&T tilt 2 sometime in the future because how much much I was impressed with the first one.  HTC phones are the way to go.

I got a Q, kinda stupid, but what is 3g and 4g?

i use the g1. i like it, and so far it;'s pretty dependable.

3G and 4G are connection speeds. Unless you live in an area with 3G or 4G coverage you will only get a slower EDGE connection. The good news is the 3G areas are growing, but still mainly around large cities.

I have a Q 9h. It's only 3G and no wifi. Other than that I love it. I unlocked the internal GPS and can run Google Maps or any GPS program on it. I deleted the ringtone size limit so I can play full mp3's for ringtones. I also use it for a hi speed internet connection on my home pc. I only have dialup but can get a 10M connect tethering thru it. Makes downloading updates and videos much easier.

I manage to run out of characters (I've been curious and so while texting my friends i tried a small test.) while texting before i can count to a minute... It's so easy, the last time i used a non-touch screen QWERTY keyboard i could barely type more than a word in a minute, the dang thing wouldn't register my pressing of the digit.

I'm so used to tapping lightly i kept gliding over the letters because that's what you do on a touchscreen. I have very large hands for my age, bigger than most of my friends and as large if not bigger hands than my father. I get this from my mothers side, her father has incredibly large and strong hands.

I have no problem with my Samsung Instinct, I'm actually thinking about the contract end because I'd like to get the more compact, newer version of the Instinct. My phone is full touchscreen and i swear the first time i got it i almost broke the screen from pressing on it, it kept double, even triple registering my pressing...

We are advanced, unique and one of a kind species. With an ever so overwhelming stupidity. Anyways +1 for touchscreen tech, and you'll get accustomed to both non-touch and touch, just like your daughter.

Good luck,

I have an iphone. Took me a while to get it right. However, sometimes it is just awesome to sit on the couch, watch TV, and answer e-mails. For the calculator I downloaded a version that had larger keys for us Baby Boomers.
