you may be right. But the important question is: do we have any other option? Do we have any qwerty phone? The answer is no. I also believe that touch screen is tough to use. But it is better to accept the fact. And the fact is nokia is past. We all are thankfull to nuance for providing accessibility. But now its time to accept touch screen, as we do not have other choice.
