Since the last couple decades brought us the desire to have all things “touch” related, it’s no wonder then that after a small taste of the cell phone touchpad technology, cell phone consumers demand more of it today. With an expanding price tag and lots of hype, cell phone companies are welcoming the touchpad frenzy and the status that comes with it. Even though everyone knows Apple introduced the first touchpad phone, Microsoft rolled out what is considered the “first touchpad cell phone” in 2000 called the Sagem WA 3050. It wasn’t very close to what Apple launched this year but, although “old school” the touchpad screen and touch technology was there.

The world relies on cell phones, it’s only natural that with demand comes variety. Similar to the modern handbag, whatever brand you are wearing suddenly becomes a status symbol.
