I am just wondering, what would be the use case where resistive screen and stylus are must? Drawing pictures on a phone perhaps? What else? Because I haven't found any situation where I'd prefer resistive screen. In old devices with very small screens and non-zoomable views, it would of course be useful to use a sharp stylus and resistive screen, but where else?

I'm using N900 as my daily driver, and regarding the hardware, I'd say the resistive screen is the second biggest minus for me, just after the battery performance. In daily use, I don't find resistive screen very 'precise'. For example, when scrolling a long list of alarm times in alarm clock, it's almost impossible to adjust your finger force correctly to make the list scroll from the top to the middle. It scrolls always either a few lines down or straight to the bottom, but almost never to the middle It's annoying. Perhaps it would be easier with the stylus, but taking it out for a simple scroll breaks the UX.

In modern smartphones with capacitive screens, there is not any very small elements in the OS to tap, so in daily use you don't even need 'precision'. If you think about Android, there is a lot of finger tapping but the buttons are big enough to tap. In Sailfish, the buttons are ofter replaced with swipes, so even less precision needed. Also the bigger screen + easy 2-finger zoom makes network browsing more comfortable as you don't need to press tiny buttons. (Also the sites have became more mobile device friendly but I don't know if that's only positive thing). And when you don't have to use force while swiping, it's actually much easier to make 'precise' moves with your fingers. Also the OS has became smarter to read your finger moves. For example, if there's four small buttons which all of them fit under your thumb at the same time, the OS still knows which of them you meant to tap. I'm not implying that resistive screen lovers haven't tried modern capacitive screens, but if you haven't, you definitely should do. When I bought my first smartphone (it was Motorola Defy, capacitive screen, perhaps 2009) the touchscreen first felt scary. I remember what it felt like when I typed my email credentials to the email app with the virtual keyboard. It felt like "how I ever can press these tiny buttons, as I can press four buttons with one finger at same time". But I could, and got used to it very quickly. The OS was smarter than I first thought it to be. And both the screens and the os have been getting better since 2009. I still prefer hwkb for typing, and because of that I bought the Pro1 But I'd like to hear what are the use cases where resistive screen is definitely needed, although it might be slightly off-topic.
