I HATE touch screen phones!

So you hate touchscreen phones because you can break it?

Yes you loved it before you broke it?

Seems to me you hate that you broke your new Android device rather than your device itself.

Yes screens are easily replaceable by any decent tech, however the insurance/cell provider route will be cheaper. They will simply swap out your device for a refurbished unit and transfer your contacts and apps over, no prob.

If you are lucky they wont have any refirb units in stock and if you press the issue they might let go of a new one for you. Make sure you ask.

I hate it because it broke so easily! Just one teensy little drop onto a hard floor... Oh well, I did love it before I found out I have to be carefull with it, and I'm sure I'll learn to love it again once I get the new one in!

Odd thing, the insurer asked me for further proof of ownership/who I say I am, so now the claim will be taking a little longer than hoped.

Honestly, I didn't know about the frequent problems/breakage of the screens. Glad this thread came up. They're really cool, but we don't have the need or desire for a smart phone, as outdated as that sounds.... We got the iPad for that. And since I drop everything, it's good to know how fragile they are...need to keep me away from them....they'd probably ban me/drop me from the insurance after a few months and a couple of claims.

Dave went with the G'zOne by casio....just a good ole' flip phone, but way tougher...it's mil spec in most areas. Screen has really big numbers...some here will know why that's handy......

I won't give up my Motorola purple W755.......plus the keys are spaced just right and I can feel them a little, so I get enough tactile feedback to know when I push one.

That's exactly the same phone that I have! Or at least the one I used to have before Sonya started using it as her phone (work provides me with unlimited usage BB). We're considering upgrading it to a Casio G'zOne Brigade (flip out full keyboard, better for texting) in April.

I really like it. I like the automatic flip open....kind of like a switchblade phone. And I like the LED light....now that's a smart phone!
If somebody hear can professionally paint it purple for me I'd definitely get one.....anybody?....anybody?? Krylon Fusion would work for plastic....

iPhone 4 with an Otter Box, virtually indestructible. I am VERY hard on phones and this has been the best most reliable most useful solution EVER!!!!! I am never going back to any other phone, they really are worth the cost and the Otter Box is amazing, best case ever!
