Touch screen cell phones were the newest and “coolest” technology when the iPhone was first introduced under AT&T. Then from there, it spread out world-wide reaching T-Mobile, Sprint, Verizon and other cell phone companies. With just one touch of your finger and a flick of a wrist, it enters you or takes you out any application on your phone. Before touch screens, in order to go from one application to another, you had to press one button to travel to that application and press it again to select it. But on the touch screen only one touch enables the application to open without using arrow keys to select the direction you want to go. This has made cell phone usage more interactive and playful. However, touch screens are more prone to freeze up or get damaged than phones that do not have touch screens. Last December, I went to an AT&T store to pick out a new phone. Once I told the sales associate I had an iPhone in mind, he gave me a few reviews about the iPhone from other customers. Many have called in complaining that their iPhones have frozen multiple amounts of times. Some other concerns were about the screen being too dark when a picture or video was in play. A couple of people have complaint about recent travels out of town and their iPhones crashed and all information had been lost. The last complaint I was told was the number of screen breakages. Many people drop their phones and minimum damages are made. Even I have dropped my phone and a scratch or two were made. But people who dropped their iPhones have cracked or even shattered their screens. I ended up choosing another touch screen. But even over time it has started to freeze up or open up applications on its own. In the end touch screens may be a more interactive phone. However with so much ability it offers you, you might find it getting worn out after it starts to freeze up or crash on you.
