Need 2 wait 4 how long oh ?

bila rege dah turun dlm berbulan bulan la
maybe price around n78 la. RM890 like dat.

it doesnt mean that touch screen is better than normal physical buttons. unless you're talking about iphone, now that is worth mentioning as a touch screen phone.

yeah, it would be a real treat for nokia fans to have a touchscreen phone like that. a touchscreen phone with a screen that is damn hard to scratch like the iphone.

but that would increase production costs and it could be more expensive than an iphone.

i like the niceee keyboard. sweet!

The keyboard looks a bit fragile from the picture. have to feel it myself to determine whether it is durable or not.

Also you can't use gloves or anything that covers the skin of your fingers to operate the phone.

u mean to operate the iphone right?

if for 5800's touchscreen? can use gloves or not?

Yes with the 5800 you can use anything.

The Iphone's touchscreen uses a technology called capacitive touchscreen. The screen will have a metallic layer that acts as a capacitor(hence the name). When your finger touches it, it draws a bit of current off it. The computer then calculates the coordinates where the change in capacitance is.

So you see, only the skin or in theory anything conductive(since I haven't tried it with anything other than my finger) can register an input.

The 5800 uses resistive touchscreen, where two layers(which has different voltages between them with an insulating space in between the two) when pressed together, they touch and registers as an input and the computer calculates where the presure is applied.

5800 XM is a bit responsive touch screen..haha good

As a result of the technology, Iphone's touchscreen is more resilient, has a faster response and accuracy and clearer screen. However it is more expensive and has a limited touch input.

Nokia, trying to be user friendly for everyone, probably stayed away from this tech and went for resistive to satisfy pretty much the majority of consumers. Low cost and many input methods to suit everyone.

It's only a matter of time before the resistive will be as accurate and resposive as the capacitive, even sporting multitouch with better materials and software, who knows.....

Added on March 30, 2009, 4:03 pmVery good and very understandable explaination.

What makes the iphone's screen tough? is it a glass in front of the touch screen or what? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iLgVfcj41uM

if somebody does that to a 5800, bye2 screen.. if only newer nokia models could implement this feature
