No current OS supports handwriting recognition... and on the other hand, multitouch gestures are improving and they offer great usability on modern smartphone OSes.

Capacitive for me, until the best of both world is available.
again multituch fan!!!!!!!! why don't all of see this video first and then vote?

EDIT i think the link does not work here is another

this link shows that it can be implemented properly:

Was my post not clear enough?
Which part of it should I clarify/elaborate more on?

when you say..........

"and on the other hand, multitouch gestures are improving and they offer great usability on modern smartphone OSes"

so i just want to say mlutituch is possible on resistive screen also!!

all i want to say multitouch should not be criteria to judge a screen
in last is your decision no one can force you

We've known about stantum from years ago.
Here's a thread from 2009 that speculated (wished) that the n900 came with a hidden stantum screen:

Like it or hate it, screen technology is closely tied to the UI/UX of a given smartphone, until a hybrid screen is available for mass consumption.

I voted resistive. I hope I can get one, though.

IMO, capacitive is f* great, I have a 23 inch at work and it's cool. But on a 23 inch, a finger is a little smaller that a standard button, and Windows can be coaxed into increasing close, minimize, scrollbars, etc and newer Windows has drag.

BUT. On a phone, my finger covers 128x128 pixels. Precision might be up, but I can't see what I touch, and a nail is useless for insta-pointer. TMO is virtually useless without a pen, e.g.

If I had a phone with 300x200, maybe touch is better. On a hi-res, waste of pixels. There is no point in seeing page numbers if I can't click, or read small text if I have to soom to do anythiing.

So, for me, it's resistive all the way for things that fit in a pocket. Pad? Maybe capacitive. Desktop and info points? Capacitive.

Also, you are doing it wrong. Sweping is easy on my phone. I have NO idea what you are on about. I have never missed a drag operation, and I have all-three-star in Angry birds.

Where the heck is stantum?

It was announced and received decent marketing buzz in 2009 and then it goes off the radar completely. Stantum was resistive screen's big chance to gain multitouch capability.

On the other hand, capacitive display is also 'growing' to address its major deficiency (accuracy).

One of the most interesting hybrid to gain the 'best of both world' that i've seen is capacitive + active digitizer (htc flyer). Unfortunately the OS it comes with (android) doesn't have HWR yet.

Didn't Nokia patented a resistive multitouch screen?

I'm sure I've seen it somewhere.


PS: I'm sure this poll will end up with resistive being the winner, because people tend to "protect" their phone screen. So, N900 owners tend to protect the resistive screen.
If this was done on a iPhone or Android forum, I'm sure resistive screen would have less votes.
the poll is showing that you were right! but i don't think this is because "N900 owners tend to protect the resistive screen."

resistive because am so used to it. Any time I handle any type of phone with capacitive it just goes wrong
