Hello Friends, After reading some of the mails in this thread, I wish to suggest an alternative way to handle the touch phone in crowd places. Bluetooth may be one among the options before us to consider. We can access basic features using blue tooth in android mobiles. Moreover, we can create some short cuts for important numbers in the home page. Thanks and regards, Janardhana Naidu.On 7/28/14, Sinoj <sinoj...@gmail.com> wrote: > My experience with touch screen is good except dialing by holding and > dialing with the same hand.
