Touch screens have always not sat well with me. While they're great and let there be limitless buttons, for those of us not nimble enough to use them, it SUCKS. Also, I really miss the days of blindly texting via T9 because tactile buttons where great! But to be fair, the droid's touchscreen was very responsive and the virtual qwerty was very forgiving and corrected my typo's very VERY well.

I say was in both cases BECAUSE today my touchscreen stopped working alltogether. I was using it 1 minute, put the phone in my pocket, got a notifacation, took it out.. and NOTHING. There was haptic feedback on, but no response at all. Several battery pulls, and standard reboots, and even factory resets and still the issue is there.

Has anyone else had this issue, and if so anyth8ing short of replacing the phone to resolve it?

 

Went to the store and they replaced it since it was manufacturer's defect (even though it was out of 30 days). Relatively painless except that I have to go ahead and redo all of my settings (which I tend to be picky about). This is my 2nd replacement device, and I noticed this time, in the marketplace it didn't keep track of my free apps. This must be with the new firmware or something. A bit disappointing.
