Everyone thinks we have to go 100% touch because Apple did it.
However, I think the Samsung Tocco Ultra Edition combines touch screen with a proper keypad and, whether you think that's going to be a good phone or not, it does offer more choice. LG also has a phone coming with full touch + keypad (as against the LG Secret that had very limited touch usage).
Imagine if Apple came out with an iPhone with more buttons, or a slide out keyboard! Everyone would suddenly be doing it.
For one handed operation on the move, normal buttons, a D-pad or keypad is far more useful than a touchscreen - but touchscreen gestures, selecting images/items and so on is also an excellent way of controlling things.
So, why not combine both?
Ironically, Windows Mobile and the original Palm OS combined the two, as did the UIQ devices, but they never really understood how the screen could be used by something other than a stylus. Microsoft and Palm have now realised with 6.5 and WebOS respectively, so I really hope SE and other Symbian Foundation partners will be planning more than touchscreen only products.
