Touchscreen is a gimmick, folks. The novelty wears off really quickly and soon you'll wish you had real buttons.

I've tried to tell people that. We have dedicated buttons for a reason, especially keyboards. When you get to know a device with multiple dedicated buttons, you can use it so quickly.
We ain't at the minority report stage yet.
Funny enough, I am going to put a touch screen in my epc, because I think a normal OS can be more useful and fluid with one.

touch screen is must, but make sure you unit has a KB & touch screen.
That's why I stayed with the Treos, even though the OS is a bit old. The amount of software otut there is a amazing.
Only thing I can bitch about is no Wifi and no enternal GPS, but you can buy a GPS receiver for dirt cheap.
Dirt Cheap = 60.00 w/ shipping

Either an errant post, or the most off topic post I have ever seen.

How were you able to purchase six, given that AT&T's limit was one per customer?

You're right. I think its a gimmick.
The touch screen and the motion sensor or whatever its called is pretty cool for the first while.
But keep trying to type on that. I was never able to type well in the first iPhone...my fingers are kinda stubby...and this one isn't any better lol
Plus I do a lot of texting while driving lol
Try typing on the iPhone while driving...dear god lol
