why is that a problem? I have to say, one of the best features of the N900 is the stylus! No precision like it with anything else inckuding iphone and galaxy where you can oonly use fingers. and I do wonder what kind of shitty phones that do not work with gloves on.
N900 works with gloves, no need to buy special idiot gloves just to be able to be in cold temperature and use the damn thing.

capacitive screen is quite ovverrated and a misstep. for some things it is good, but who the heck cares about twitching(or whatever its called) with two fingers to zoom.

the only thing I miss on the N900 that I think is a capacity of capacitive screens is swype, like on samsumg. I could be wrong, it could be possible to have that on N900.
