I voted resistive. I hope I can get one, though.

IMO, capacitive is f* great, I have a 23 inch at work and it's cool. But on a 23 inch, a finger is a little smaller that a standard button, and Windows can be coaxed into increasing close, minimize, scrollbars, etc and newer Windows has drag.

BUT. On a phone, my finger covers 128x128 pixels. Precision might be up, but I can't see what I touch, and a nail is useless for insta-pointer. TMO is virtually useless without a pen, e.g.

If I had a phone with 300x200, maybe touch is better. On a hi-res, waste of pixels. There is no point in seeing page numbers if I can't click, or read small text if I have to soom to do anythiing.

So, for me, it's resistive all the way for things that fit in a pocket. Pad? Maybe capacitive. Desktop and info points? Capacitive.

Also, you are doing it wrong. Sweping is easy on my phone. I have NO idea what you are on about. I have never missed a drag operation, and I have all-three-star in Angry birds.
