Hey, you guys? I was thinking. Do we really want the next flagship Maemo device to have a capacitive touchscreen? After playing with the N900 for a few days now, I'm thinking not - this screen is super-responsive, so precise (once I found the calibration utility) and now it's possible to implement multi-touch on a resistive screen, I'm hard-pressed to think of an advantage to a capacitive screen I actually care about.

Of course, capacitive touchscreens are generally harder-wearing and responsive to a much lighter touch - but those advantages surely suit a different market sector? (I think the X6 is a perfect example)

I've just been thinking, and I've pretty much come to the conclusion that a capacitive screen would be a downgrade on this phone. Thoughts?
