    in a few years do you think that there will be no more phones made with actual keypads or keyboards? just touch screen phones and touch screens with some sort of force feedback on them?

    there are a few crowds trying to make touch screens with force feedback but i dunno if anyone is selling them yet. will it ever take over from buttons completely or is it just an iFad?

    iFad iThink.

    The buttons will stay around for ever though, if for no other reason than people get old.

    I like actual keypads, and will continue to choose them over touchscreens.
