Haptic Touch

One of the next keywords for our next mobile phone purchase. Well, maybe it isn't so necessary for us as of yet, since we've our L'Amour whenever our fingers itch to use a proper keypad, especially when we have to text in the car.

Haptic? Oh. To our best understanding it means that a touch screen that has force feedback, so that if you touch a 'button' on the touch screen you can actually feel as if you're pressing a button.

We must admit that we still have an iPhone itch, although it's an itch we have under controlled as till now. But we're keeping an eye out for the 3G iPhone first, to see what new upgrades there are (aside 3G connectivity). Just that, even when the iPhone has them upgrades, we'll still be viewing the iPhone more as a iPod/PDA with some phone capabilities instead of a mobile phone with great PDA capabilities. Why?

No MMS. Limited Bluetooth - it's only used to pair with a handsfree - so no transferring pictures and songs. Thankfully Apple updated so that mass SMS could be sent.

But we like the iPhone because of the responsiveness. Things load quickly, so much better compared our Nok7710. And we don't need to worry about using a stylus too.

Still...it's gonna be quite likely that we would be getting an iPhone. Unless our favoured mobile Nokia can come up with something better...like the S60 Touch.



Or the sweet-looking Nokia Aeon.



It'll be nice if the new Nokias have haptic response. And another concern with Nokia is with their OS - you know how it tends to slow down after a while.

Ah heck it. We love our gadgets and these are catching our eyes.

Why do you always think of buying new gadgets? You know what, I am just like you; I am eyeing hard on Nokia N series, either N96 or N78, as my next phone. And also Nintendo DS Lite. We are in the same boat, hehehe...

You should check out the HTC Touch Diamond. That looks like a promising phone.

Ah-Bong: iPhone. Music player, phone, and PDA all rolled in one.

Burnt Toast: The first HTC Touch didn't quite appeal to us, but then again we'd already gotten our iTouch by then and loved it. :P

FeR: Sooooo true. :P Pockets empty but you have a MacBook k! ;P
