Touch screen phones are the new trend in the world of mobile phones. Almost every manufacturer has at least a single model that is touch screen in nature. However, there are many users who are unable to digest a complete touch screen phone.
They find it difficult to use touch screen functionality for activities such as typing and documenting on their phones. To solve this problem, touch and type phones came into the market and today we have a whole bunch of such models vying for top spot in the market.
Here is a look at the top touch and type phones that are also very affordable as well.
1. LG Optimus Pro C660
Equipped with a 2.8 inch touch display and a QWERTY keypad, the Pro C660 is a no nonsense contender in this segment. It does not lack in any features that are wished by any buyer for a smartphone.
