Which others phones have a touch screen interface like the iphone?

[slicksilver]

I'm looking at the same touch pressure levels. I used an android phone and it was harder to touch and get things done. With the Iphone things were flying. Anybody knows any?

Thanks

The Galaxy S series has an iPhone like UI. For speed you may want to look at WP7, but the UI on that is very different.

The UI on WinMoPho is very different, but it has the best touchscreen next to the iPhone. I am still adapting to the keyboard, but it is better than Android's IMO, and there are other issues with the OS since it is only a little over a month old. I am not totally regretting my decision to get one, but I would say that if you have any prolonged experience with iOS and iTunes (and don't abjectly hate iTunes) then you might find the WinMoPho ecosystem lacking.

The OS doesn't have any bearing on the quality of touch screen a device has.

I would look at either the Samsung Galaxy S series (or Nexus S) on Android or the Samsung Focus on Windows Phone 7 as they all use Super AMOLED displays which have exceptional accuracy and touch sensitivity.

I have a Galaxy S and even the faintest touches are perfectly recognized.

You are right, though I wonder, given Microsoft's hardware requirements, whether the OS would have a bearing in that case. I am not sure though.

That's a valid point. Although at this point it's hard to say if that's the case or most manufactures just used decent parts for their launch phones. Once the OS matures a bit I image that OEM's will be more likely to probe the limits Microsoft imposed for better or worse.

A number of older Android phones, including the Nexus 1 had rather poor touch screens by current standards so it's very possible the OP encountered one of them that gave him the negative impression of Android.

It's difficult to determine if a screen's quality is the result of it's hardware as software also affects it's responsiveness. Apple got it right in their gen 1 iPhone so I'd imagine the 4th gen is even better.

From what I've seen the newer android phones have improved over the nexus1 and droid1. How the screen quality compares to an iPhone would be difficult to determine.

There are so many different android based phones.

Since the feel of a touch interface is so subjective, your best bet is to visit your local Sprint/Verizon/AT&T/Whatever store and just try out several models to find out what fits you best.
