"Like with the Apple iPhone, all of the navigation is to be done via the finger, and not a stylus. The navigation is definitely intuitive. It involves finger tapping to select something, and finger swiping to scroll through lists or move across a Web page. A light yet firm touch is required when navigating through the phone, but if you're still having trouble, the Vu comes with Touch Calibration software. There's even a touch-screen tutorial when you first start up the phone, which is very helpful. That said, we still had some issues when scrolling through lists--sometimes we would accidentally select something by mistake. We got used to it eventually, so keep in mind that there's a slight learning curve involved. The Vu also supports haptic feedback, which provides tiny vibrations whenever something is selected. We found this great for confirming a selection, and it is especially useful when dialing and texting."
Tutorials? Firm touch? Calibration? Hmm. My iPhone requires(d) none of these. I'm not saying there can't be competing products. Good ones to boot. But it does seem evident that Apple continues to lead the way in design AND execution. - Tim Godby
