The touch screen makes surfing websites gathering data and navigating forms and applications much easier. With more than 80% of desktops running Windows I believe that it is smart to invest in a device that is a logical extension of what one has on a desktop or notebook. Connectivity to emails and messaging is easier and there is no need for application programming similar to what one has to do on a Blackberry. My biggest beef with this phone is that there is not one single button that screams phone.
