A bad resistive screen can be a major pain in the ***, but a good one can be superior to capacitive.

The N900 has a great one.

True, a capacitive screen backed by good processing power and software IS more sensitive than a resistive one and can seem more pleasant to use. But when you do a simple pro-con comparison, resistive comes out on top. After that it's down to personal preference.

I couldn't imagine clicking small links on the 800x480 screen with my finger. You'd have to zoom in every time you want to click a link, and zoom out every time you want to read what it says on the page, With resistive, you just use your fingernail or the stylus!
