Like I said, calling those "touch" screen is streaching the definition and as far as I'm aware, none existed pre 2001. "But the biggest factor that changed the game were the concessions $Launch_carriers made to Apple." O2 made some pretty massive concessions in the UK too. Android came along and screwed that pooch well and truly! Don't get me wrong, there has been a lot of good that has come from Android, but handing the control back to carriers is harming consumers long term. Data limits are criminally low, and the reasoning behind them is based on fallacy.
