capacitive means what? huge capacity?? and resistive means wat ar..?? i dumb in phones but this x6 really caught my attention

A resistive touchscreen panel is composed of several layers, the most important of which are two thin, metallic, electrically conductive layers separated by a narrow gap. When an object, such as a finger, presses down on a point on the panel's outer surface the two metallic layers become connected at that point: the panel then behaves as a pair of voltage dividers with connected outputs. This causes a change in the electrical current which is registered as a touch event and sent to the controller for processing.

A capacitive touchscreen panel consists of an insulator such as glass, coated with a transparent conductor such as indium tin oxide (ITO).[2][3] As the human body is also a conductor, touching the surface of the screen results in a distortion of the body's electrostatic field, measurable as a change in capacitance. Different technologies may be used to determine the location of the touch. The location can be passed to a computer running a software application which will calculate how the user's touch relates to the computer software.

Im kinda impressed by the screen actually. With my 5800, Im kinda restricted to using my thumb as I dont keep long nails except for thumb ( and thats on purpose to avoid using stylus). But with X6, the fun is that you can use any finger to control it as it response very well with skin touch than pressure touch like fingernail. It does feel sluggish at times. I thought it should have better hardware to deal with it as it is very expensive.

yeah X6 is for fingers... but not stylus... so those who liked to used stylus would have to aim for 5800

nowdays most ppl prefer to use fingers.
moreover the 5800 is already an old model.
time to move on.

it depends.some ppl prefer capacitive some prefer resistive.for me,i prefer resistive because when resistive is very useful for small little icon.capacitive seems troublesome for me.

btw i like ur point, yeah move on move on

i use finger on my 5800, never use my stylus.

haha, thanks

but the sensitivity is not as good @ using stylus, cos that fone is resistive touchscreen

now resistive and capacitive not much difference already

this phone able to use flash like youtube/ facebook games or not?

Proven on N900

meaning?
about the same sensitivity?

hands on is more important..try it out yourself!

haha
ya, couldn't agree more

in its own right, it's a nice phone.

the problem is M'sia is a PRICE sensitive market. iPhone is where everyone looks at now, tonnes of apps. Business people almost always go BlackBerry.

then left what? teens who like music? shelling out RM 600 for CMW to be able to play on only the X6 and 1 PC isn't something attractive, it's a restriction.

If X6 minus RM 600 - i think people will like it better, most people are downloaders anyway. they like to be able to play music in multiple devices. download already on X6 and notebook, how to play on car or home entertainment without having to go through the hassle to setup just for the device?

yeah, hopefully the 16GB one will be released with a reasonable price

really i am using o2 mini as my secondary phne and i am ok without using my stylus
and 5800 has a big screen... who needs a stylus on it

wow, amazing!!
haha
how can you use that fone without stylus?
lol
so hard
anyway this X6 has really good features.
just overpriced because of CWM

but u gotta understand u will get free music la
nokia already sit pun giving it with cvm
but u cannot distribute the file la

good features? think again. If isn't because of 32GB memory + 3.5mm jack, I already switched back to my old Nokia Supernova.

Disaster lag is much more become disastrous day by day.
