Well I bought a new phone..... I got the
Motorola ROKR E8 - I like how it has the appearance of being touch-screen since it looks like a blank phone when it isn't being used. I think this is the closest T-Mobile will get close to a touch-screen phone for a couple more years (T-Mobile is big on plans but not as big on new phones - in my opinion).
I'm very happy with this phone.
Here is a great description of the phone on
YouTube. Basically the keys change to whatever mode you have the phone in.
