Mobile phones are a great addition to telecom devices and there have been several changes in the technology used in the mobile phones. In the past, the mobile phones can be operated using the buttons on the mobile. The latest addition to the mobile phones is the touch screen mobile phones. You don’t have to remember which buttons you need to press. Simply, touch the phone screen and go to the menu directly. This saves a lot of time and provides maximum comfort for the mobile users. The display monitor of the touch screen mobile phones has all the functionalities to direct you to the desired menu when you touch the monitor.
Early touch screen devices such as handheld palm series were not essentially touched with the fingers. Human handwriting is difficult to identify and so, these devices required the use of stylus to use the touch sensitive facility. This made the touch screen device, an expensive gadget suitable for use only by the enterprise customers. The latest technology makes it possible to use your fingers to manipulate the mobile phones. You can use the touch screen with your fingers to manipulate the menu and use the stylus to scribble the message if you want to send an SMS. Some touch screen mobile phone models possess a virtual keyboard, which can be used to input text messages.
The touch screen technology utilizes a touch screen sensor glass panel, which has a touch sensitive surface. If you touch the screen of your mobile phone, the sensor sends information to the controller in your mobile device, which in turn responds to your touch. As the technology involves a lot of process, the design of touch screen mobile phones is complicated compared to the normal mobile phones.
Touch screen mobile phones have become the fashion icon for the young teens. If you want to exhibit yourself as the person on the pinnacle of latest technology, you need to have a touch screen mobile phone in your hands. Touch the screen, go to the menu, and forget the clumsiness involved in operating regular mobile phones. People now prefer touch screen mobile phones and they are ready to buy such phones even though these phones are priced high. Apple iPhone has motivated every mobile phone manufacturer to develop touch screen phones.
When you shop for the touch screen mobile phones, you have to check if the phone responds immediately. If you are not comfortable with the models that need the use of a stylus, you can prefer the other models. The major problem with the touch screen mobile phones is the fingerprints on the screen. Sometimes, you will not feel comfortable with the touch screen unless you are used to it. Lack of precision is another problem experienced by the touch screen mobile phone users. Fingers have a broad area and so, sometimes, unwanted functionalities may be invoked because of an imprecise touch. You need to buy special accessories to keep the mobile phones safe in rugged environments.

Thanks for your informative comment. Yes i agree with you Touch screen mobile phones are little hard to use if your fingers are not slender and pointy and if that phone doesn’t have stylus. But the most recent mobile phones are now offers a variety of input methods including a virtual alphanumeric keypad and a pen stylus.

Fashion is not only about clothes, but also about accessories. And what better way for a teenager to stay in fashion than a touch screen mobile phone?

In my opinion, cell phones are over-appreciated nowadays. They are indeed helpful, if you want to communicate with people who live far away, or even with your close one, but nowadays, even 10 year-old have the most sophisticated cell phones. What do they need them for?

IMO,Smart Phone have complex function and equal with PC now; some ones have the QWERTY keyboard, so it is easy to input;in the other hand it can do more things! I like a smart phone if the price is afford!

I disagree with your opinion. They are not over-appreciated at all. It’s not just about communication anymore. It’s about doing everyday tasks with ease on the go! You can’t sit by pc all day long to do your work. When you go out you need a smartphone to browse internet, connect with online friends, update facebook and tweeter, read ebooks, viewing editing office documents, music, movies, games and you just name what else, everything is there. If a 10 year old starts using a latest smartphone with high features its good for him, he will certainly grow up smarter than other kids.

Yes but it begs the question what if ur holding it to your face on a call and your face does something to the phone accidently i mean it can happen. The apple iphone looked good at first but then everyone got one and now they are not unique, plus it has no mms picture messaging. I dont know if i want a touch phone at all i mean it depends. I think i will get a HTC touch phone for my next phone or a blackberry. Any suggestions? nah its cool i know enough to make my own decision. I dont know if i could ge tused to a touch screen i mean wouldnt you mess up the screen touching it all the time? maybe if it has that anti fingerprint technology or something yes. If im going to be watching tv or taking photos with my phone then i dont wanna get it messy all the time. Did anyone hear about that ericsson bravia tv phone from last year i think it was. China apparently only got it and quite frankly i dont want it after seeing pictures of it. Its quite ironic that it used the bravia engine thats from the sony bravia tvs which are the most best looking tvs in terms of picture and thinness but the bravia phone is the worst ever looking brick http://mobilephoneblogaroo.wordpress.com/sony-ericsson-bravia-tv-mobile-phone

I dont agree that N97 is awesome.
N97 sucks.
HTC Hermes is far more better.

If I have to choose a touchscreen phone, I would probably go for a LG phone.
