wm6.5 standard?
 

I have had the Intrepid on sprint for awhile now, I was going to get the q or the snap but I like this style better. The only thing I don't like is the wm6.5 pro interface. I wanted to get away from a touch screen and thought I would be able to customize it to not require touch on a lot of things.

I have read that wm6.5 standard is designed to be non-touch oriented. Anyone know of a way to get that on my intrepid instead of the pro that comes stock? The resistive touchscreen seems really fragile and unless I take the time to use the stylus every time I'm worried that touching it will eventually lead to permanent fingerprints or scratches on the thin film over the screen.

if you are worried about fingerprints or scratches on a phone in this day and age, you're just being silly. they're unavoidable, regardless of if its a touch screen. this phone is FAR from a work of art so don't sweat that stuff.

i don't have an answer to your specific question, but i can vouch that you can get plenty done on this phone without using the touch screen. i don't like touch screen phones either and use the keyboard/d-pad as much as possible. if the only thing keeping you from buying it is the touch-oriented interface, i wouldn't sweat it so much. if you want an up to date phone that is not 100% touch or slider/keyboard like everything else new out there, this phone is great.
