So you had a defective device --- that doesn't mean touch screens are bad. Anyway, buttons are on the way out and they are not coming back. They cost more, they make the devices bigger, and they are a potential source of problems (they can break, get stuck, etc).
No doubt it is sometimes a good thing to have buttons -- but the market has spoken. You will have to adjust or keep using your old device. That is what I did since I wanted something bigger than 6" but smaller and lighter than my DX. I will be waiting for others to take the plunge, but the Aura is definitely on my list.
