@sachin: The htc G1 (android) has portrait mode without on-screen keyboard in their initial OS release.

really though, all this talk about res vs cap is funny
they both have their places, cap probably in a more media centered device, resistive in a more professional device.
and seriously doubting the sensitivity of a resistive? my older car(urquattro) has a garmin gps unit(cheapy 300$) in it and it works fine with light pressure, it doesnt come with a stylus either.
edit:i think the infiniti has a built in resistive screen as well(never gave any trouble, so i never looked to see what it was), guess what i finger swipe it just fine as well, oh yea, no stylus as well
and as long as the ts works(as example in the infiniti) it doesnt matter what it is

...does anyone know of a smartphone with capcitative screen and atleast the same resolution of the n900 which has already been released?

Amongst unreleased phones, the HTC Leo has a 4.3 inch 800x480 capacitive screen:

Haha. This is hilarious. It's like arguing the value of a vehicle on the choice of securing the spare tire using square nuts over hexagonal nuts.
As long as the screen works well as a touch screen (as it seems to), it's not going to matter past the spec page. There are more important factors to base decisions on.
This thread is striken with fanboitis. Apparently one of the symptoms is pointing the finger....

I can see capacitive being kind of difficult on 800x480 in 3.5 inches. I mean how exact could a capacitive be in that situation maybe on some web forms with check boxes or radio buttons? I guess you can zoom in or something.

Now that we've established that resistive is better because capacitive is too sensitive except for those times when capacitive is better because resistive is not sensitive enough. And forgetting for the moment the advantages of being able to use a stylus with gloves versus the benefits of being able to use your nose when your gloves are too thick to hold a stylus. I'd like to discuss another comment by Paul Miller, to wit:
"I don't think Nokia thinks we can comprehend their smartphone operating system and I think they might be right."
Is the Maemo 5 UI still too complicated for the average consumer who confuses Linux with Charlie Brown's friend?

If you watch that section again, I'm pretty sure that he's actually talking about the Symbian OS.
They are talking about how Nokia hasn't been pushing their smartphone platform here in the US.
That's actually a pretty common criticism of Symbian, that it's too complicated.
Aside from their complaints about the touchscreen (which to be honest, folks on this board should prepare to hear lots more once it launches, whether right or wrong), they didn't really have anything bad to say about Maemo.
