Actually, I *can* feel the keys on my Quartic RPN virtual HP calc...

The keys have a very nice tactile response (configurable) which is slightly audible and which actually vibrates the phone just enough that its *almost* like pressing an HP key ...

That doesn't help your finger easily find the key you want to press. Touchscreens are clearly inferior as an input device for most tasks in my opinion, especially if the task involves some complicated interaction. It's of course a huge advantage that they can be instantly 'reconfigured' to any layout, and it makes them a good trade-off in many cases.

I, too, have RPN calculator programs on my cell phone, including RealCalc, and they're very useful whenever I don't have another device (a WP 34S or a computer) at hand. But I would never use a phone calculator instead of something with buttons if I have a choice.
