Right. Which is what I meant. I meant the problem wasn't "touchscreen" but "interface" in general as well as lack of "apps."

You can have a keyboard and a touchscreen at the same time. I actually loved my keyboard/touchscreen android phone. I still want a real keyboard. I miss it. I think the reason they failed was "app store." Also they had a real

This really bothers me. I don't care if someone is "cheery" as long as they just do their job. People justify tipping service personnel (bar tenders, waitstaff) over them getting a fair salary because if they didn't tip
