Hi All,

Recently I noticed N900 screens on sale over at ebay (some here & here). These screens are resistive type and exactly similar (that's what I think) to the ones used in the N900. Buying the screen also gets you instructions and necessary tools to carefully replace it all by yourself.

Now as the screen is user replaceable, I was wondering, if we can use a capacitive screen instead of the resistive screen. Not sure about the compatible connectors and all other stuff though.

As I understand the main reason why MeeGo (with Nokia UI on top) won't be officially supported on N900 is because Nokia's UI are quite optimized for multi-touch/capacitive screens. Hoping that a capacitive screen on our N900 would be able to run Nokia's UI happily.

Any thoughts/experiences?
