Mobile phones are vital parts of our lives these days, form the businessman clinching a deal on the go to a child who gets a call from their parents asking them where they are, almost everyone seems to have mobile phones these days, sometimes more than one.
In recent years they have evolved into so much more than just phones with many now boasting features as diverse as digital cameras, GPS, Music and video players and internet browsing devices. Many of the more advanced smart phones could be considered more as a personal computer more than a telephone. A recent trend has changed the face of mobile phones quite literally.
Many phone manufacturers are now moving towards phones with minimal buttons or keys in favour of a large touch screen surface instead. The phenomenon has been credited mostly to the Apple iPhone which came out in late 2007 in the United States of America and was one of the first phones to tote an entirely touch based interface.
Flash forward two years and now we have almost all major mobile phone manufacturers with some form of touch screen device, the most recent of which being Nokias 5800 Xpressmusic phone which is the companys first touch screen phone and thanks to its Comes With Music scheme has proved very successful with music-minded customers, despite some teething problems over in America with 3G data problems.
Other mobile phone manufacturers like SonyEricsson and Motorola are yet to release touch handsets adopting a wait-and-see approach but this year at the recent Mobile World Conference in Barcelona SE announced the Idou which bares a passing resemblance to the iPhone however is projected to contain a 12 Mega Pixel camera, the most advanced camera on any phone at the moment.
There is scepticism over the device though as it was only shown in pictures which could mean it may be some time before its commercial release and might get overtaken by other manufacturers like the iPhone did initially. Most of the camera related companies like LG, Samsung and SonyEricsson already have cameras hovering around the 8 Mega Pixels level with Samsung and LG having phones like the Omnia and Renoir sporting large touch screens and advanced camera functions such as variable ISO levels and smile detection. There are plenty of cheap mobile phones using only touch screen input being offered on contract deals like the LG Cookie or Samsung Tocco also so its not just the super-expensive phones getting the touch treatment.
Not everyone has been quick to take to touch screen only phones where they feel that they may be too fiddly or the fast-tapping text message entry would be too inaccurate. For now it seems that with the majority of the touch screen phones being very fashionable it looks like the majority of new mobile phones will be coming with some level of touch sensitive functions.
