People, please stop saying this. Any store that sells iPod Touch or iPhone will sell you a capacitive stylus (for about £9 in the UK). For sure it has a rounded tip rather than a small point like the N900 stylus, but you absolutely can use a stylus with a capacitive screen.

Regards,
Roger

It's a bit misleading though. Yes you can use a capacitative stylus but you still won't have the complete benefits of accuracy that a stylus on a resistive screen provides due to the design of the screen.

Agreed. Especially in the context most have been using for the stylus and it's application.

Try using a capacitive device in the pouring rain. With a resistive device slap it in a sandwich bag with the zip and its good to go. Great for hiking trips etc!

the only advantages of capacitive screens are that they are capable of multitouch and they often have a glass-surface. although the latter is not necessarily an advantage.

i never owned a device with capacitive screen to be honest, but i now how one feels like due to the htc magic of a friend of mine.
and really, i didnt realized its a capacitive screen until my friend told me.
obviously the screen "felt" different, you could feel its much more stiff propably because of glass or hard plastic, but other than that i didnt found that it was much different than my s8000's resistive screen. minus the multitouch, that is.
all my touchscreen-devices (samsung jet, nintendo ds, nintendo ds lite and n900 in future) had resistive screens so basically thats "all i know" anyway.
i'd like to have multitouch, but on the other hand, i dont want to loose the stylus.

Have an iPod Touch and a HTC HD phone and I much prefere the HDs screen... I find the iPod Touch (from now on the iTouch) screen too whimsy... too responsive and I sometimes open stuff just because i held of swiped it wrong... with the HD it much more feels like you "press" a button and screen feels nice and responsive... (you very quickly "learn" how to use it...)

oh yeah and this never happens:


Resistive ftw

P.S.
how do I hide the attatchment window (kinda annoying to see same pic twice...)

I find the ipod touch screen far far more responsive than that of the N900. Never made a selection by mistake on the ipod touch but have done so quite a few times on the N900. Very often it seems my presses are not registered although I think that is more to do with the device being sluggish at times.

And it is not a case of me being used to using the ipod touch screen. I had it for only about two months before I had to sell it off as I couldn't bear to be a commoner any more. So I did not have that much time with the device to be totally used to the different technology. More importantly I had no trouble with the device from day 1 so was not a case of getting use to it. Was just easy and great to use from day 1. In fact I used a resistive screen before capacitive - the N97. Was a nightmare to use and returned it after 3 days. I know the N900's screen is far better than that of the N97 though even though they are both resistive.

The general public are probably also the same which is why the mainstream Maemo Nokia phone will be capacitive. But appreciate that the resistive has some major advantages over capacitive such as being able to select smaller items.

Wow, did you throw this phone onto a brick wall?

HD2's screen is glass, what do you expect? It's scratch resistant though...So it all has it's ups and downs.

U sure that is resistive? Look like Capacitive to me lol. Resistive is soft like LCD cant just break
