well, I ain't going to change your mind, I've learne that after 10 years, 
but the touch screen is allot easier and more user friendly than you might 
think on the IPhone.
Especially if you use a tactile screen protecter for the first while to help 
you get used to the screen spacing.
It really depends on what you use your phone for and how much mobile 
connectivity you need.  It took me a long time to give up my nokia's with 
talks, but once I made the decision to accept the IPhone, it didn't take 
long to get used to the touch screen interface and become very quick and 
efficient with it...using things like Siri, dictate and so on the device 
becomes exceedingly powerful.  It has it's faults and cons, but every smart 
phone does regardless of touch screen or buttons.  I think the upside far 
out weighs any downside or faults the phone may have including the learning 
curve on the touch screen interface.
Believe me, I was firmly placed in the anti-IPhone camp as well a couple 
years ago...then I made a mental decision to just do it because that is 
where the accessibility is, and once I did it was allot more pleasant than I 
thought it would be.

Touch screens are still something I hate. Not saying they're unusable by us
but I can't get the hang of the one on my android phone and I've had it over
a year. I hope to avoid them on anything else as long as I possibly can. I'd
never spend the money for an Iphone, I don't like mac anyway but the touch
screen is a major nonselling point to me.
