Why

Why does anyone buy a touch screen phone like this? First off, resistive touch stinks. Period.

Second off, touch only works on good size displays. Anything smaller than an iPhone's is too small for an on-screen keyboard. QVGA doesn't cut it.

Third, with the crappy screen resolution, what the hell good does wasting all of it on the necessary on-screen commands do? If it had a D-Pad and a keyboard it'd be that much better.

And there is a market for a touch screen phone that doesn't require a data plan.

People who want a touch screen and don't want data don't seem to care about lousy screens and lack of capabilities.

All I'm gonna say Cricket customers have really, really low standards. Heck, the company is named after a bug!

Boost does chirp also, and is way, way annoying when people are chirping in public!

yeah, but boost is really just nextel in an urban disguise. 😲

I agree, I'm in a *HUGE* Nextel/Boost market, and listening to public chirping is not one of my favorite things.
