Touch screen mobile phones - a vent

They're flippin' useless. So I'm having a rant.
Writing a text takes ages when the screen's on the blink, it's just decided I wanted to change the language to spanish. Hate them hate them hate them. 40 minutes to try sending a text and now had to revert to using pc.

You could always phone them.'The More I know about people the Better I like my Dog'

Yes, I hate them too. I've only got titchy fingers and I can't type on them at all. And I hate the way the photos tilt if you move the phone by a fraction of an inch. In fact I hate all "smart" phones.
I prefer "slightlythickandabitofatechnophobe" phones!

40 mins to send a text? I think you need a new phone! I've never had problems with the screen on my iPhone, it's quicker to send texts on than it was with my old Nokia mobile.0

One of those free upgrades when you tell 'em you want to scrap the contract. I hate the things, always end up reverting to the elderly sony 800i.0

work with touchscreen on a daily basis at work and its always on the blink so would never buy a touch screen phone, its just a trend, im happy with my button phone and any upgrades will be button phones also0

Which phone?0

Why do I have the feeling OP is using a resistive screen, possibly with symbian on it?
Tarring all touch screen phones as awful because of a resistive one is akin to saying all cars are terrible because you once owned a Fuller Dymaxion.0 -
I love my touch screen phone! I love being able to zoom into photos and the way the predictive messaging is set up. It annoys me when the screen flips itself sideways too but you can turn that off in the settings.
OP what phone do you have?0
