      @rotation Nobody uses buttons any more. Touch screens are the future, man.

      @rotation Windows Phone mandates 3 buttons. Only one of them is any use though.

      @rotation Six? Home, Back, Search, Menu and the roller makes 5 interface buttons by my count.

      @rotation Except they're just moving into software, with the option still there to do them in hardware and hide the on-screen bit. And the core functions (home/back/menu) are staying for good, though the last, if no physical buttons, becomes a dropdown rather than a regular button.

      @rotation Which is why the option for manufacturers to do them in hardware remains. If a manufacturer both makes bad touchscreens, and insists on doing it the software way, you can simply avoid them.

            @bitshift @redenchilada Android Touchscreen response has always been less-than-stellar for me, even on higher end handsets. I don't know if this is a software driver thing, or a touchscreen thing, or what. All I know is that using android software keyboards left me with the idea that software keyboards THEMSELVES are bad. I also find web-navigation much more finicky on Android than iOS (Or even WebOS), requring either ludicrous zoom levels or fantastically precsie taps.

              @ceruleanspark Yeah, I've had that issue. I've had it just as bad on iOS, though. It's mostly a matter of web layouts not being designed for the average sausage finger.

      @rotation Hahaha, no. I've got that phone, and it is _definitely_ not a bad touchscreen.
