Touch-screen smartphones

Smartphones with touch screens certainly aren't new; we've seen them on Palm, Windows Mobile, and Symbian devices for years. But what has changed is the way we interact with them. Before, touch screens served as an easy and convenient way to perform simple tasks like opening and closing applications and switching between menus. However, with the introduction of handsets like the HTC Touch and the Apple iPhone, we are seeing (and expect) touch screens to perform more advanced functions.

You can now zoom in and out of Web pages with the pinch of your finger, and drag and drop icons to customize your Home screen. And it's not just HTC and Apple; more and more cell phone manufacturers, including Palm and Samsung, are jumping on the bandwagon and developing new touch interfaces that let you interact with your smartphone in a totally different way. Touch-screen smartphones certainly aren't for everyone, but if you're in the market for one, here are six of the hottest models today.
