Do you get on with your touch screen phone?

I've been looking for one of those for a while, what's it called?
Does it still use the clicky screen or have they got rid of that monstrosity?
Nope still the click screen which in this Storm is simply awesome..it works much much better and is far more accurate now...it has 4 buttons underneath the screen whereas the first one just had the one. The whole package is much mor tighter than the first Storm...i found the screen moved around far too much for my liking along with the gaps and light leakage.,..the Storm2 doesnt have that gap and theres no light leakage that i can see...the screen does wobble but not as much as the first one...the great thing with the Storm2 is that when you press the lock button on top...the screen locks down ie no movement until you press the lock button or push the 4 soft buttons at the bottom then the phone wakes up.
As i said the Storm2 should have been the original storm but they got it wrong...the good thing is that this time round they rectified a lot of the issues that people had the first time round...cant wait to see what the Storm3 brings to the table...but honestly ive never ever liked the resistive screens that you use with a stylus...id rather go iphone than use one of those.
With the Storm2, you have the best of both worlds and it works very very well....im typing like a demon on this thing so much so that ive put my Bold to one side now
Thanks.
I'll try them out.Spawn that sounds much better! I think the really dodgey screen was the main reason I dismissed the Storm almost immediately when I tried it. Glad to see they have improved it.

Just swapped my iPhone 3G for a Nokia E52 because of the keyboard.
I loved everything about the iPhone except the phone element of it which really annoyed me.

I've always hated touchscreen with a passion, but I had a play with a storm2 in the voda shop last week and I absolutely loved it, I can probably text faster on that than I could on my old N95!
I think the fact the screen "clicks" is a major plus point, in my opinion anyway.
By far the best phone I have ever had, and I really loved my N95 8GB!

Getting on very well with my HTC tattoo so far, though I didn't think I would
I don't really get on with my HTC Touch HD.
The new HTC SenseUI does help, but I find the Resistive Screen very unresponsive for Typing. It spend more time correcting mistakes than writing the message.
I don't know if it's any different on a Capacitive screen, I've never really used an iPhone.

I'm not getting on with my 5800 at all tbh. I wish I'd stuck with my old k800i
Like a woman, I find them a bit fiddly and annoying.

I enjoy using my iPhone very much! Even the keyboard, which I was wary about when i got it.
I have an iPhone 3G and love it to pieces. Best phone I've ever used and I love the touchscreen.
Only problem I had with it was when I went to Spain on holiday during the summer. You sweat so much the touchscreen didn't work properly anymore.
That's the only problem I've had though.
Have skipped the iPhone 3GS and will go straight to the next-gen one when it comes out in July. Can't touch any other phone now. While the handset features themselves may be a bit better on other phones, they all have rubbish unusable UI's in comparison
(Except Android, but I hate the look of all the phones. The only one I'd go for is the Sprint HTC Hero, but it's CDMA only. I'd be there in a shot if there was a GSM version.)

Are you using the default ROM? If so have you updated it with the update from HTC's website?
Otherwise do you have haptic feedback on (vibration when you hit the keys), if so turn that off as that seems to cause the issue you're on about. The HD should type almost flawlessly.
The Samsung tocco I got last year has given me a poor experience. Even with the haptic feedback I find it slow to text and always seem to accidently brush a key by accident.
Maybe its just the way I text but I'm definately going for a key based phone on my upgrade soon, got my eye on the E72.

I dabble with Cooked ROMS off XDA Dev (using one of Miri's ROMS atm) and I don't have haptic feedback turned on

iPhone here, works a charm. I didn't get on with my Touch HD, I would call that a push screen phone!!
