Feedback Touch Screens ...and Nokia N95 Vs. Apple iPhone

Hey anyone tried a feedback touchscreen before? like anyone wanna share their experience of the iPhone interface yet? Looks like Symbian is "touch sensitive" too now. Nokia is has already come up with their own touchscreen interface, but they've taken a step further: Tactile Feedback. What the #&*$ is that? well thats the reason why touch screen never really caught up in 25 years! On touch screens, you cant feel what you're touching, which is what even iPhone is sort of "suffering" from. But the touch screen on Nokia not only gives feedback, but each "button" or touch could feel different! so your hand knows what its doing with the phone! haha. Certainly looking forward to check it out!

There is an interesting comparison from CNet between the Nokia N95 and the Apple iPhone. I would say its a pretty close call. I guess its more about how a person wants to use their smartphone.



Anyone heard of any plans for Windows phones coming up with feedback touchscreen?

I happened to try iphone. To me both will appeal to two different group of people. IPhone is more for people who appreciate design while Nokia is more for tech savvy and feature hungry geeks

As long features are concerend Nokia is a clear winner while iphone clearly beats the rest when it comes to design, aesthetics and creative interface

Havent seen a Nokia, and iPhone is really pretty. Touch feedback would be nice, sometime you end up clicking multiple times to make sure you clicked, especially if the visible changes take a second to showup.
