Touchscreen phones with widgets?

MrsE_2

My LG cookie is playing up.

Think I need to start thinking about my next phone.

Love the whole large touch screen.

Only want it for calls & the odd texts really.

My LG has widgets (this is what my DD calls them).

I can put frequently dailed people on the home screen & touch it once & options come up (call, text, edit, delete), touch whichever function you want & bang you are there:D

Do any other phones with large screens work in a similar way? I know the Viewty doesn't.

got the lg cookie - never use widgets, cant play games, useless camera, awful texting ..... ends in April hooray - get a normal phone if I were you but if you must you could try samsung tocco lite.

I've got the Tocco Lite and that has good widgets - the screen is a good size as well. I love it

I got DD2 an LG GW520 for christmas, touch screen, qwerty keypad under the big screen (qwerty not touchscreen) has all her friends on the screen that she can move about and access? Not very technical me but might be what you were looking for ?

If I wanted a normal phone I wouldn't have asked for advice on a touch screen with widgets.
I had enough "normal" phones so far to know what I prefer.

Seems to be heavily based towards texting?

I would never bother with the slide out keyboard (I only send the odd taxt), do you have to use that or is it optional?

I think that might be my DDs new phone.

I was thinking of the iphone, does that have "widgets":D

An iphone is waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay beyond you (they have apps, not widgets)

You're better off keeping it simple

Can't believe that no one has mentioned the HTC Hero. OP, check this phone out. Infact, just search for Android - there's a bit of a selection of them now.

Its lovely:smileyhea

But its £400 PAYG:eek:

Is it available cheaper? Lower model?

HTC Touch I think is the model below (Not definitely sure) but CPW have that for £250 AND they do trade-ins for your old phone.
