The design of current high-end handsets is moving towards better keyboards and impressive touch displays. This is why you will notice a rise in the production of qwerty touch screen phones. You can find touch screen phones with qwerty keyboard from Nokia, Motorola, Sony Ericsson, HTC, Samsung, LG, and Palm.
A qwerty touch phone has a keyboard similar to the keyboard of a computer, or typewriter if you are of the old-school type. The arrangement of the keys may not exactly be the same but it features single-press typing of letters, unlike in alpha-numeric keypads. Some qwerty touch phones have up to 5 rows of keys while others only have 3. As you might expect, using a qwerty touch phone might take some getting used to, but once you get the hang of the arrangement of the keyboard, you might just say that using an alpha-numeric keypad is too inconvenient.
Of course, with the added cool factor of a touch display, these qwerty touch screen phones give you great features that modern technology has helped produce. A touch display of these qwerty touch phones can either be capacitive or resistive. A capacitive touch display is sensitive and only allows navigation using human skin. A resistive touch screen is less sensitive. You can use your fingernail or a stylus to navigate this type of display.
Some models of handsets with qwerty keyboards and touch displays are the Nokia N97 Mini, Nokia N97, Motorola Milestone, HTC Touch Pro2, Samsung OmniaPro, LG GW520, and Palm Pre. Deals on these hadsets starts at only £15 per month. This includes add ons such as unlimited texts. Very impressive!
