True, also, people seem to be in this illusion that touch screen phones must cost a lot of money. The truth is that they are very cheap to make, but the hype of the iphone and its pricing just made it the "it" feature. Therefore right now touch screen phones are relatively pricey. They'll come down eventually, as did camera phones. Remember when something like an LG VX6000 cost $150? Its all got to do with what people want.

well, there's more than one type of touchscreen. The screens for the iphone, Blackberry Storm, and Tmobile G1 have capacitive screens that actually do cost more to produce. Most of the other touch screen phones have resistive screens.http://www.phonearena.com/htmls/Touchscreen-technologies-in-phones-article-a_3067.html

It's probably just a model with a screen overlay, instead of it being the real screen. I'm sure it reorients itself when the keyboard is in use.
