What type do you prefer - Touch Screen or Button keypad mobile phone?

I guess having both touchscreen and keypads is more comfortable. I once had a w960i which just got stolen recently, it had widescreen, good speakers, touchscreen capabilities and the normal cellphone keypads. It was so easy to use and I really started to love the phone until it got stolen and the I had to go back to keypads only again. I think some touchscreen phones are better but it really just depends on it's user-friendliness.

Well, honestly it is more easier to type with a keypad rather than touchscreen it is more faster, i think the different between two is touch screen look more stylish rather than keypad, more elegant, that's all, i don't think there's no other special or specific function about using touch screen for now

I like my touchscreen. I also have a slider so I am able to use the keyboard for text messages. Touchscreen to me is so neat, it's seems so silly but it makes me feel like it's a more futuristic experience to get to touch the buttons and have them dial the phone for me.

I just bought the new BOOST Incognito. I love it! It has a touch screen on the front and a full keyboard inside. Its created by Sanyo. The great think about it is that you can turn the touch screen off and it looks like a mirror. The only thing is that it doesnt have the chirp. dl

No i will prefer the button keypad because my working is hard and touchscreen is not preferable to me

I like button phones more since i can type on them without even looking. The touch phones are very good looking and advance though. I might just buy one when I'm in the market for a phone. I tested the Samsung Star (since my mother has one), and found it quite good. The performance was adequately fast but I also experienced having it hang on me. I currently have two Samsung phones that aren't touch screen, but I surely am interested in buying a touch screen phone when I have money.

I have been having the present phone for more than two and half years. I didn't change because I am shifting to a differnt country in a few months, permanently. So, it is not wise to invest a huge amount of money in a cellphone at this time. I am embarassed to show my phone out becuase most of my friends have good phones with lots of applications. I don't prefer touch screen, I am comfortable with normal keypad.

They both have their advantages but I prefer a button keypad. Touch screens are cool because they have more screen room and are good for accessing the internet but I don't like how small the keypad generally is when it's on the touch screen. On my brother's I-touch I end up constantly misspelling words and it's pretty annoying. I wouldn't mind one of those phones that flips open and has a small keyboard on it.

My phone has 2 screens, the outside one being a touchscreen, and the inside is not, but there is a qwerty keyboard when I open it ip. I am getting used to the touchscreen part of it now, as it is easy to use, but also, I have to be careful I don't touch something else that I don't want to, as that is very easy to do. I have had phones before that didn't have a touchscreen, and I find them much harder to use than the touchscreen ones. I like the touchscreen, and the net phone I buy, will be a touchscreen. Good luck to you and happy mylotting.

Well, my friend. I prefer to use the touchscreen cellphones. Because they are easier to use than the button keypad ones. Have a nice day.

i prefer buttons. don't really have a reason, i just do.

I personally like touch screen phones a lot. Generally, I think touch is the future for pretty much any electronic device, be it computers, phones or even hardware. Of course, a lot of the touch screen phones out there aren't worth the cardboardbox they came in, but you just have to know which phone to choose. When choosing, it's important that you choose a phone with a decent feedback. The optimal touch interface mimics your touch with JUST the right pressure - hence letting you avoid typos and misplaced buttons presses. At the moment I've got a Nokia XpressMusic 5800, which I think is a great touch phone. I would prefer it over a classic button keypad phone anyday, because I think the touch interface adds a certain classic 'touch' to the phone itself. Of course, phones like iPhone and HTC Hero are some of the best touch phones out there - but they're also the most expensive ones. My point is that you CAN get a proper touch phone for a decent amount of money - such as the Nokia 5800 or the Samsung Touchwiz. Research the market before you buy though, or you might end up with some crap like Samsung Ultratouch. I love touch phones, and I'm sure we'll see nothing but touch phones on the cellular market in just a few years.

I like both. I like the Blackberries and the full featured keyboards which are easier to use imo for texting, but I also like the ease of use of the touch screens. Take the Guitar Hero free download game, although you can play it on the Iphone and Blackberry, its alot more fun using the Iphone screen and gives you the feel of air guitar, much better than punching the keys. What I don't like is the touch screens, that have to be pressed in. ( like Blackberry Storm) You don't just touch this model, you have to press the screen in like its a ginat key, it doesn't seem as responsive. Not trying to put the model down, I realize that Blackberry has a new Storm2 model out, so I haven't tried it yet.

Hello acematthews71, I would preffer to have keyborad phone. Because its more lasting. You can drop your touch screen on the ground and say bye bye to it, andwith keyboard phone nothing will be wrong. Your choice :P

I personally don't like touch screen phones. I've used few different ones, latest being I-Phone 3Gs, at the end, I got myself blackberry 9700. I had blackberry pearl before & liked it. When I was in process of changing phones, I tried i-phone & didn't like it at all. Tried few other touch screen phones through out the years but never really cared for any of them.

I like both type of cell phone. If the design of the phone and the size suits the keypad, then either type will be good. I have mostly used button keypad and it is more common then the touchpad. I think the touchpads are more sensitive and vulnerable, that's why people dont buy these phones much becasue the touchpad becomes faulty often

i do not own a touchscreen phone but my friend has it and he has real problems playing games on it. Games cannot be transferred via bluetooth into that mobile. So i think i will stick with keypad phones given a chance.

I'm an old fashion people, so i dont really like touch screen phone. I have to fully protect touch screen phone from humidity because it will be broken. I ever have this kind of phone and now it is broken. So now i back with old fashion phone.

I don't like the touch screen mobiles, they have so much more to go wrong and being more complicated, they would be harder to fix. I like to see how a thing works, then if it goes wrong ,there is at least a chance to fix it. I notice that some touch screen phones have very small on-screen keyboards and if you were a man with thick fingers, I think it would be hard to be precise when you typed with them. I do like the look of the newer phones but would much prefer a slide out keyboard aswell.

i prefer to use keypads because im used to it... i dont care if it is the trend today as long as i have a cellphone and i can use it for texting and the outgoing and incoming is working properly that would be fine with me..
