I can't say that my overall experience with resistive screens were superior than the comfort and practicality that I get from using the capacitive screen on my iPhone (currently 3GS).

One handed usage is natural with the thumb on a capacitive screen, you don't need to bother with stowing\unlatching the stylus, and the performance is great. I don't get why capacitive screens are getting so much !@#! here.

PS: note that I don't handwrite or draw on my devices, so I've never missed the single superior feature that resistive screens have over capactiive.

I think i read somewhere in this forum about capcitative not able to support higher resolutions. I dont know how much this is true but if it is true it is very easy to understand nokia's decision. Having a high resolution is a huge advantage especially for me when i regularly vnc into my desktop.

Even if that is false does anyone know of a smartphone with capcitative screen and atleast the same resolution of the n900 which has already been released?
