I love tactile interfaces. Give me buttons & knobs over capacitive touch panels any day. I refuse to buy a smartphone that doesn't have a keyboard.

I was that way until about a year ago when I was kind of forced into buying an iPhone. Now I love it, although I do yearn for a physical keyboard once in a while.

Yay--I'm not the only one who still loves/needs a keyboard on their phone. I can't stand an only-touch screen phone for texting.

And--as plain as the stack pioneer head unit is, I actually am glad not to have a touch screen to distract me. I really need to be alive in this car because the steering is so responsive, so not having to fiddle with a touch screen actually ended up being a blessing. I'll be more careful without it.

I'm giving my contacts at Scion corporate a shout about the BeSpoke issue.
I think they should, yes... I don't mind the added fee for the trunk mat, though. Was shopping for Hello Kitty floor mats online and discovered the insides of the FR-S are so tiny, I don't think I'll be able to fit any.

I don't have a keyboard on my Droid X, and I love Swipe. Works really well.

On something that you don't want to have to focus on though (like a radio) you just can't beat knobs and buttons.

+1 for the knobs. I hate scrolling thru menus just to change the bass.

Oh--I have Swype and love it, too. Trying to get it for my Kindle Fire, but haven't been successful yet.

They do. That's the last item you haggle when you buy a new car. You tell them floormats are free or you walk. Never failed yet. Who the hell pays for floormats?(not counting trunk)

OEM logo floormats (4pcs) and trunk area mat was STANDARD on my FRS. No extra charge and no line item on my sticker. It was listed in the STANDARD Equipment list on my Window Sticker.

Looks like you got the trunk area mat as a "bonus". If you look a the standard feature list on SCION.COM, the floor mats are standard but the logo trunk mat is an accessory.
