I'm getting a new phone -- the nokia N900 and the main draw back is its resistive touch screen, I've seen the ones in the N97 and they were bad, they weren't as responsive as I would like them to be..
So, what do you think about the n900s' resistive touch screen? can they act decently enough to warrent a purchase or are they all as shitty?
And actually, I see it being resistive as advantage, not a draw back (have you tried using stylus with a capacitive screen?...).

yeah i have to agree the touchscreen amazes me on the n900 it is so responsive .... and you didn't even need to apply as much pressure as other touchscreen phone.

Personally, my only issue is with 'swiping' (scrolling, moving the finger across the screen). If you use your nail, its fine, its pretty good... but if you don't use your nail its not that great..

I wouldn't have bought a device with a capacitive screen. I find them very hard to use with nails, stylus, end of a teaspoon... I find the screen responsiveness just fine. In fact, if you look around you'll find people complaining it's too responsive - for example when the phone rings in your pocket or the alarm goes off on the bed side, and you've touched something you didn't mean to.

Oh and also: When is the Arabic keyboard coming out? (though I never type in arabic) I know you can install an app for an on screen keyboard but I would only buy one with arabic alphabit for the resale value.
thanks.
