Wikipedia is your friend:

As a sidenote: The N8x0's screen can go off too. I've had mine go haywire twice already, fortunately never permanently. Interestingly, my 770's screen has been rock steady.

Why I like resistive touchscreens (the non-iPhone type)? They can be operated with a stylus and appear to be more precise than capacitive screens(this might actually not be the case, but as long as capacitive screens can only be manipulated by big fat digits, who's to tell?).

I do know calibration hell. Right now I have a Siemens SimPad SL4 that's stuck in a calibration loop. It's probably time to kick Wince off the thing and Linux on...
