Sensitivity of touch screen
 

I know that the n900 sports a resistive touch screen but I was wondering how sensitive the touch screen is for anyone who tried it compared to the n800/n810. For example, is it possible to scroll with a finger (not fingernail) easily now? Even with Mauku and Tear on the n800 it's still slightly difficult to use the kinetic scroll with them. I was wondering if the n900's touch screen sported a more sensitive resistive touch screen.

The screen is very Sensitive, much better than the older tablets.

Agreed. It's also nowhere near as squishy. In fact, having used the N900 and the (capactive) X6 at Nokia World; I much prefer the resistive screen of the N900.

This resistive screen will make you wonder why you like capacitive so much. It's really that good.

Hmm sounds perfect then. I'm really looking forward to trying out this device.

Too much Engadget ? :D

He appears to be using his fingertip rather a lot on that video...

Yeah, that's how I wasn't sure about the sensitivity of the touchscreen, all the videos I've seen rarely show people (or it's hard to see them) use their thumb or finger on the screen. So I couldn't tell if they were using their fingernail or the finger itself. (finger is a funny word..)

But going by what people have said, the resistive screen isn't as "squishy" as n800 which I find that (along with some of Maemo 4's UI decision) makes it hard to use your finger. But seeing as how the UI for Maemo 5 has been largely improved it's just how sensitive the screen is now. :)

Can anyone give any insight as to how it compares with an iPhone? IMO, the iPhone is how touch screen should be, I want to hear that the n900 can rival it

Probably should buy an Iphone then eh :)
