    I was wondering if the vibration motor on the touchscreen side was meant to give the impression of a real button press when using the touchscreen?

    So it gives a little bump when you press the screen for feedback....im guessing that is what it is for right?

    @efenili: So you're saying when I press the button correctly, I'll get a response?

    @Git Em SteveDave loves this guy-->: Press a virtual button on the touchscreen, and a the vibrator gives a very brief pulse that feels surprisingly close to the feel of pushing a real button. That's haptic feedback. I did not know the G1 did that? The LG Voyager has it for use with the onscreen keyboard.

    Can you alternate the vibe motors, so you could set up a vibration wave?
