I want 2-3x optical zoom on a phone 5-8mp before I want 12mp, but that's the marketing goons speaking. I would probably set 5-8mp and check how the pics came out.

one thing is really worrying me from the pics, theres no stylus!!!!!!!!!!
Im gonna kill Nokia if its capacitive!!!!!! there will be no more easy debian!!!! wont be able to click on tiny things!!!!!!!!

Add in that most (not all) resistive touch screens have poor sensitivity, low accuracy, and are single touch, whereas most capacitive touch screens have excellent sensitivity, high accuracy (not necessarily precision, which isn't needed in most modern smartphone OSs anyway), and are multitouch, and resistive doesn't look too appealing to that 95% of the population. Possibly lesser selling points are that capacitive screens allow more light through (less backlight needed, more battery life), and can be made much more durable than resistive screens. Sure, you could argue that capacitive screens don't work without special gloves, but there isn't a huge number of people living locales with year-round glove-wearing temperatures, let alone people living in such areas that actually wear gloves every time they're outside.

Saying that modern phones are only for bloggers with ADHD and the uneducated is somewhere along the lines of saying that Dvorak is only for one handed people. (no offense to bloggers w/ADHD, the uneducated, or one handed people)

Also, note that the reason for the reduced precision of capacitive screens is due to the requirement for comparatively larger pointing implements. The actual resolution of both types of sensors goes far beyond the pixel density of any screens in use today.

However, I do understand that some people might find that too inconvenient.
I am afraid I will have disappoint you here. You see, not being able to use the phone for one season of a year is still a problem. And a lot of locales have glove-wearing temperatures for that long. Hell, not being able to use the phone for just a few days is already a problem.

those people will never actually use a phone, but play with it for 30minutes and then write a review
