touch phones for fat fingered people

[smwentum]

I got to play with a Samsung galaxy touch phone for the first time. I realized that I have really fat fingers, so I keep hitting the wrong buttons. Is there a touch phone for me?

Something with a bigger screen might work better. How big is the screen on your Galaxy? I am guessing 4". Another option would be to get the international version of the Galaxy Tab 7" which has phone capabilities. It is quite a bit bigger than a phone though.

What carrier do you use?

The fingers you have used to dial are too fat. To obtain a special dialing wand please mash the keypad with your palm... now.

You might have a problem since with Boost, you can only use Boost phones. The biggest touchscreen they have is the Samsung Prevail at 3.2" which is smaller than average for smartphones. If you can consider a prepaid change, you could go with Virgin Mobile (both Boost and VM are owned by Sprint btw). They have the Motorola Triumph which has a 4.1" screen.

If you have an Android phone currently, you might try an alternative keyboard like shapewriter or swype. These would decrease the finger size problem.
