what's the difference between the capacitative and resistive touch screen?

iPhone is capacitive.

N97 and older touchscreen phones are resistive. You can use it even when you're wearing gloves. Plus, it's stylus-friendly.

resistive or capacitive is better than? if it's stylus-friendly then it's pressure based screen right? all HTC considered resistive?

Yes, it's pressure based screen.

I can't say which is better. Both have their perks and disadvantages. It's personal preference, really. Personally I prefer resistive, that's why I bought the N97, I hate ultra-sensitive touchscreens where more often than not, I click on the wrong icons.

so then capacitive are more sensitive?

technically, yes, capacitative is more sensitive

as long as your skin contacts the screen, a touch is registered

for resistive, pressure must be exerted

but resistive tech is catching up on the sensitivity

Yes.

With capacitive touchscreen phones, you just need a mere touch on an icon to register it.

Whereas on resistive, you need to click once on the icon to select it, another click to register it.

Which is why I still prefer resistive. Less mistakes.

so basically

capacitive - single click

resistive - double click

amirite?

That's the idea of it.

But some resistive touchscreens only require one click. It really depends on the manufacturer.

What's for sure is that resistive touchscreens require more pressure, and they are usable with gloves, pens, stylus or anything at all.

er O2 also resistive but one click require to register haha.....bout the pressure part you can even use nails heh....Xperia from SE also resistive right?

Most of the touchscreen phones that come with a stylus are resistive.

how much is omnia hd lah?

I bought one from plemix, its pretty expensive, around 850 USD. Its nice though

The price should be around RM 2.6 to 2.8.

The Singaporean release date and pricing is out.

Do u mind making a review here?

Samsung also announced that the Samsung i8910 Omnia HD should start selling from 1 August at a recommended retail price of 540 euro. The first samples (mostly carrier-customized units) of the monster-spec'd Symbian handset made their way to the market back in May but right after its launch mass production was stopped in order for some i-dotting and t-crossing to take place. Apparently there were some issues with the Omnia HD that Samsung wanted to get fixed before the handset received wider availability.

I hope when Omnia HD starts selling in Msia, all the issues have been fixed especially HD Video recording sound codec issue...

Wrong. It depends on the OS deployed. For example, S60 5.0 in some screen especially the main screen, you needs merely a touch to register the command. While in some other place like sub-menu you needs to double touches it to select and run the app.
The no. of touch is nothing to do with resistive or capacitive. It is the way the OS interface employed to control the interaction.

Really, learn how to read the replies following that quote first please. I already said it depends on the manufacturer and the brand.

Wrong

Resistive- apply pressure to register click.

Capacitative- no need pressure.Once your finger touches the screen, a click is registered.

Single or double click depends on the OS or the phone itself.
