I always have to use the stylus or my finger nails on my N800, while the N810 reacts to the lightest touch already. Is that just my N800, or are touch screens that different between models?
Double check if you have a protector on your N800

It is the other way on my devices. BTW what OS version are you running on your N800? I'm running OS2007 also because of touchscreen. At the time I tried OS2008 on N800 the touchscreen sensitivity was big step back when moving to OS2008. Later/last OS2007 version improved touchscreen sensitivity a lot and that code didn't make it into OS2008 version. Os2007 registers even lightest touch so when switching devices I have problem with both 770 and N810 until my hands 'recalibrate' and I start pushing harder.

Did not try later OS2008 versions since that is what I have N810 for. Also I like the diversity in my Nokia ZOO :-) It is good for testing.

Interesting. I didn't know that the sensitivity problems with the original OS2007 release came back with OS2008 (I decided to stay at OS2007). The OS2007 upgrade that fixed the original sensitivity issues was a great improvement.

Diablo fixed the sensitivity issues that were introduced with Chinook.

Nope. I got my N800 new from amazon, and the screen is as unprotected as it was. It did get some abuse from my 4 year old son, though

I'm running the latest Diablo on both.

From what I remember, the N800 was as insensitive as it is from the beginning, regardless of operating system or settings. I'm starting to believe this is a defect in my particular device, or batch of devices. I got another N800 at the time from amazon which I sent back after a few days because of a stain on the screen, and I don't remember it being any different. I think I would have noticed the difference in the second device which I kept, if there had been one. And a co-worker who also owned an N800 was amazed by how unresponsive my N800 was when I let him try kinetic webkit scrolling some weeks ago, saying his had been much better.

Of course I could be wrong and it actually degraded over time without me noticing. I certainly used the N800 a lot, so it's definitely well worn.

I have used my N800 every day since early January 2007, and the screen works just the way it always did -- nothing indicating any wear. (Well, the sensitivity was not good in the beginning but that was fixed with that os upgrade I mentioned earlier.)

Yeah, i was rooting for the N810 because it the most current but, I guess the hardware keyboard isn't that appealing to most or enough for an upgrade.

You gain a keyboard and gps, but loose the second sd slot. And the slot thats left becomes micro sd. Its a tradeoff imo.

It is a trade off that I have been wrestling with for a bit now. I have an n800 and I love it but the internal GPS is very tempting . . . I am not really that impressed by the keyboard though. I guess that's why I am still on the fence. But it is a fence where I have an n800 so it really isn't that bad of a spot to be in.
