Capacitive or resistive touch has nothing to do with the LCD screen or display. They are both a layer over the top of the LCD glass.

For all the guys who have doubts about the sensitivity of the touch screen i think this video clearly shows how responsive it is.

@sevla: i don't know if it's the same layer that changes N97's screen color, but I've seen a video of guys scratching keys and metal objects to N97's screen (with no screen protectors) and it survived with no scratches whatsoever!

Yes, I've listed some of the devices with resistive touch screens that I've used in the past just a few posts ago and you should find N800 in that list.
It's actually in front of me now, because I took it out of hibernation a few days ago to verify some things mentioned in another thread here

Disclaimer: I don't have much experience with capacitive screens.
I don't know what the big deal about capacitive screens is. I've used the 5800 as my main phone for the past few months and I've only used the stylus when I first got it just to try it out. I haven't had any technical issues using the interface with my fingers. There are some design issues to S60 5th Edition and some design issues with the phone hardware design itself that make it a pain to use sometimes but that's a whole other topic.
Bottom line: I use the 5800 resistive screen with my finger, no stylus.
Another thought about capacitive... correct me if I'm mistaken but you can't use screen covers with capacitive screens. I use a screen cover with my 5800.

@sachin: You'd notice that a good majority of the devices I mentioned have hardware keyboards. And those are just a partial list of ones with resistive touch screens 
That should be a (not so subtle) hint of my preference..
So, yes, I think I can appreciate the usefulness of a hardware keypad from first hand experience.

But i think a portrait osk will be almost immediately available at least for the browser. I am basing this assumption from one of the renders made by one of the canola members a while ago which looked similar to the OSK on the iphone. Since it is open source one needs to figure out how to include that in the browser which i am sure can be done easily?
