LG Versa VX-9600
Really a Touch Screen?
Hey all,
I'm wondering if this phone is really a true touch screen, or if you have to push while touching like the Dare? (at least that's how I understand the Dare is based on the reviews I read?)
Thanks

I'm not quite clear what you mean by "push while touching" unless you're talking about the BlackBerry Storm, but the Versa is indeed a touch screen.

One of the reviews, or cons, about the Dare was that it's not a true "touch", ie light touch, move your finger and the device responds, but that it's more of a push and touch/slide, where you have to put a bit of pressure down to get it to, say, scroll, which can mess things up and cause you to 'click' on things you were not intending to click on.
I have played w/iphones and love the response when you touch the screen, nice and smooth.
And, no, I'm not comparing this phone to the iphone or looking to start a war in the thread, I'm just askin'

Ah. Well, if you'll look at the description of the BlackBerry Storm's "SurePress" screen, you'll probably see why I was confused from your question 😁

The Versa does not have the same "touch" as say, the iPod Touch. The Versa does require pressure to scroll/select. I just bought an iPod Touch a week ago and Apple got the touchscreen right - no haptic feedback, but I don't miss it. The only way I've been able to "flick" on the Versa is between the home screens, which of course on the iPod Touch you can "flick" the screen and basically does what you expect. The Versa does have a better touchscreen than the Dare, but can't come close to the iPod Touch. There are still too many false positives on the Versa.

the dare and versa, along with treos and 6800's and touch pro, touch diamond. they are all touch screens. there are 2 types of touch screen, capasitive, and resistive.
capasitive: (storm, iphone/itouch) use a glass screen, and responds to electricity given off by your fingers.
resistive: (all the others, unsure about the pre, but i think its capasitive) use plastic screens, and are pressure sentitive, which is why you can use a stylus.
both types are touch screen (touching the screen, and not a button corresponding to the image on the screen). some say the storm is not a touchscreen because the screen sits on a button, but it is a touch screen.
hope this helps

Yes, that helps tremendously. I guess the only way to find out what I'm going to like/dislike is to use one for a while. What I hate, is when things don't work correctly and annoy me, over and over, ie if I were constantly dealing w/false positive 'clicks' w/this phone and it leading me to places I had no intention of going, I can see myself chucking it across the room :-)
