You're describing 2 different things though....you can't say the touchscreen is shit, when what you actually mean is you don't like the txt format.

Personally a Qwerty keyboard suits me as i don't use text speak, and if you are a fast ish typer anyway then it's not a problem, i would take your bet

The screen works brilliantly, i have an air hockey game and a few others that you just wouldn't be able to play on another phone.....and the functions all work perfectly well!

I do wish i could send media messages though, and bluetooth was compatible with other phones, but i can live with it!
