It seems as though not everyone these days is as keen as we are with HTC's TouchFlo interface or the iPhone. Larry Magid over at mercurynews.com has just written up and article on how devices with touch interfaces are great for daily tasks, but not quite as good when it comde to making phone calls.
Larry Magid did a quick comparison with the iPhone, HTC Touch and the LG Voyager and gave them good marks on dail tasks, but it seems he would rather trade them in for your standard flip or candy bar phone when it comes to actually dialing numbers and making calls. I do have to agree that there is no replacement for tactile feedback on your fingers when dialing numbers on your mobile phone, but lets be honest here. When was the last time you actually dialed a new number on your phone, besides adding a new number to your contact list?
With HTC's touch screen phones there are numerous ways to access your contact in or two taps on the the screen. Or you would always use the "send" button to pull up the dialer and then hold down a numebr for speed dial like a regualar phone. granted to do this you will have to glance at your screen for a half a second to see where the numers are.
Though I don't agree with everything Larry wrote, his article is a good indication on why a lot of people holf back on buying touch devices like the phones TC make or even the iPhone.
