Touchscreen Phones

The future is catching up, we have computers that do just about everything, cars that activate with the touch of a button, we have a black president (good job on not voting Palin by the way) and we have phones that we can draw our finger around on.

These phones are quite the cat’s meow with all of the excellent features, mp3 player, gps, wireless internet, mobile radio… I could go on.

I own one of these and it’s probably the best $150 I’ve ever spent. Just for fun, let’s view a few of them shall we?


The iphone was brought about to society by way of Apple and AT&T. It brought a great idea of having an ipod that was also a phone, except with a lot more features. I knew at least 5 people who dropped their old cell phone plans to get one of these. I’ll admit, they are fun to use, they aren’t that fast as far as internet usage goes though. The GPS isn’t that good either.


The LG Dare has qualities unlike most touchscreen phones, for it allows a back ground, and it isn’t just an average phone, it downloads songs rather quickly. Not a bad choice though.


Google’s G1 packs quite a punch, I’ve heard nothing but rave reviews about this phone. And you wouldn’t expect something like that from T-mobile. It’s got lots of features, many add-on features, and it’s back by Google. I kinda wish that I switched to this, but the one I have has been good to me.

All the power of a Blackberry converted into a touchscreen phone. The storm’s got amazing internet, sleek design, and you’d probably feel pretty bad ass if ya had one. Believe it or not, those aren’t keys on the screen, but they do click once they’ve been pressed.

I rock a Samsung Instinct aka the i-killer. It’s does so much, I sometimes forget that it’s a phone! Samsung released this to compete with the iphone and it did pretty well. it does everything but my laundry. Camera, camcorder, gps, wireless internet, mobile radio, mobile TV, mp3 player, weather reports via satellite, marine forecast, NFL access, the voice mail box acts more like a answering machine, it’s awesome. I’ve heard negative reviews but it’s got flaws and the screen scratches easy. But other than that, I treat it like my baby.

The purpose of this blog is to indicate that there is somewhat of a touchscreen phone brethren going about, I have run into at least 10 people with touchscreen phones and we do a quick comparison, give hints, and give information (not private info)… it’s kinda cool.

All in all: touchscreen phones are your gateway to the future, I suggest you pick one up. They’re definitely worth the price.

Catch ya on the flipside
