Why Would You Get A Touch Screen Android?
If you've lived on a Candybar phone for so long, you'd probably get a sense of freedom the day you use a QWERTY phone. A QWERTY phone, for the heavy texters and social networking enthusiasts, may feel like typing/texting utopia. The form factor is just ideal for hours upon hours of texting and typing.
On the other hand, touch screen phones are for surfing convenience. For the most part, Android devices have been using the touch screen form factor, and it's been working because consumers find the look of touch screen phones sexy, plus, it makes surfing a whole lot easier, not to mention more fun to do, especially with the touch gestures that are standard with iPhones and Androids nowadays.
But we have to face the fact that nothing beats a physical keyboard when it comes to typing and texting. And nothing beats the QWERTY if you want your typing on steroids. Given that, why would you even want to use a touch screen Android?
1. Because you want to read your emails with a bigger screen. Touch screen phones just have greater screen real estate. And let's face it, it's just better to read email on a bigger screen.
2. Because you want to read the blogs you follow on a decent, big-enough screen area. Just like email, reading comfortability is key in choosing a phone's display size.
3. Because you want to surf the web faster and easier. As mentioned, Androids, just like iPhones, come with multi-touch gestures. So you can surf your favorite websites with a few touches on the phone screen. You could also get familiar with touch gestures as shortcuts. It sure beats dragging a mouse pointer using a trackpad or a trackball.
On the other hand, you can actually compromise by getting a slider QWERTY Android Phone. The HTC Merge looks like a great candidate, though the HTC Desire Z may be more affordable because it was released a few months back. The Blackberry-type QWERTY Androids also come with touch screens. The screen sizes are just smaller, however.
As we keep saying, it's all about what you need and what you want in functionality. What is more important to you? Comfort in surfing or ease in texting? Thanks to the innovations in the Android universe, the choices are diverse.
