I have got the same problem. The whole right part of the screen is very less sensitive then the rest of the screen !!
Any suggestions (new firmware, repair) ?

damn, well i have to be added onto the list of people with dead areas on the N800 
sad to say..
I know why this is though. Think about where the most places you use the stylus, for buttons there is enough area to use your finger in most cases but for navigation in Opera or RSS feeds etc most people tend to use the scroll bar alot via the stylus as the finger is too big to drag when the bar is really small.
I think this is the main cause for the sensitivity problem on the right. Now I'm finding myself pressing the scrollbar several times until I hear it click and so I can drag down or up.

Myself has the same problem. I've had my n800 for couple of weeks only and the area in the middle of right edge can no longer be called a touchscreen. I have to press it very firmly to get any reaction. Sliders in any app in fullscreen are hardly usable :-( Backspace key on the software keypad is also affected and so is the slider's down arrow button while typing on keypad. Anyone got this damn thing fixed? I am going to service point right after I am back in Finland in a week. Hope this is not just a 'feature' of n800...

As I've said before, here's my suspicion:
1. The right side is possibly affected by the emitter array;
2. Heavy web browsing is prematurely wearing out the right side;
3. Firmware may contribute (I realize this contradicts what I said earlier, but what I mean is that firmware won't solve it if the cause is hardware)
I lean more toward #2, but that of course could be easily disproved if enough users experience this on brand new devices with little use. Another wrinkle is that I once briefly experienced a scrolling sensitivity problem (posted here somewhere) on an earlier firmware release.
If anything is added to the next tablet design, I'd like it to be a scroll wheel/button/whatever to take the bulk of the abuse off of the tablet.

Are you trying to tell us that the Nokia's brand new touchscreen is somehow technically inferior to the MessagePad's screen, which is 10 (ten!) years old?

It's blooming Nokia skimping out on quality control, that's what it is! Some doofus at Nokia probably thinks "Open Source" also means "don't check if the nerds' hardware works".

Hi all,
Unfortunately I'm having the same problem with my new N800.
It seemed clear to me that there is a problem with the sensitivity so I made this small test using the maemopad+.
It is clearly visible that the lines in the right corner are much thinner..
One more thing that i have noticed is that the problem is not persistent. Yesterday, I have been using 'extensively' the x-term and the backspace was always working with a simple touch. Today, not only that but also several other letters need multiple 'touches' to work.

Unfortunately there's been no sign of my repaired N800 from Nokia UK which suffered from this problem (same as yours Saturn - right hand side/vertical scroll bar). I won't be able to chase it up until Tuesday as it's a public holiday on Monday.
I'm itching to find out if this problem can be resolved by a repair (LCD has been replaced, apparently).

The issue that we discuss in this thread has nothing to do with heavy used parts of the screen. As I mentioned in my post I have had my n800 for couple of weeks only, meaning 2-3 weeks, and it's 2-3 weeks of rather light use. The touchscreen sensitivity issue has been there from very beginning and I have strong feeling that it is getting worse very rapidly. Last week I checked my friend's device which came together with mine in one delivery and its screen has exactly the same problem. I went to Nokia Flagship Store in Helsinki just to ensure that it's not just my device. I checked three devices from store's exposition and every single one of them had exactly the same problem.
