Blackberry-style phones are better for one-handed on-the-road texting. Which no one should do anyways (but the world is still populated by idiots so we can't stop them).

What we REALLY need is a good speech-to-text for phones. ]]>Apr 3rd 2009 4:52PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/04/03/eyes-free-shell-for-android-actually-delivers-on-its-name/http://www.engadget.com/2009/04/03/eyes-free-shell-for-android-actually-delivers-on-its-name/

now imagine that your finger is the mouse pointer. and the screen reader on the touch screen device would 'read back', in order to give audio feedback as to what is happening with the device.

in much the same way, auditory clicks or distinctive sounds could serve the same purpose. but language is probably easier than random clicks and chirps.
