That's exactly what I mean by the Treo's screen being better. I used with a stylus and without a protector for 8 years and there was not a scratch on it.

I had a few touchscreen devices before and since, of course. All my Palm devices had excellent touchscreens. The only bad resistive touchscreen I had was on a Samsung phone. That screen in combination with the Bada OS made me get rid of it in just a week. Before that, it would never even have occurred to me that a touchscreen could even be bad. The things one takes for granted...
