@tvfootlint, in Finland, it works. Capacitive screens can crap out in the cold and don't work with thick gloves.
Even in America, I'm going to buy one (if I can afford a data plan), and I will buy it BECAUSE of the resistive screen. I play classical guitar, and therefore have long fingernails, so capacitive screens can be a real hassle for me, while resistive screens are AMAZING because of their accuracy.
I've always loved pen interfaces. Have you seen the now-discontinued show Firefly? or the movie Serenity? The pen interfaces used by the Alliance are GORGEOUS. If someone took them and ran with them, I would buy one in a heartbeat (-<3
@TVfootlint - This is a fantastic phone even with the resistive screen. I've used 3 Android devices plus an iPhone before owning this phone and I have no complaints about the accuracy of this touch screen. It is extremely responsive and the only time I need to use stylus is when I'm viewing a page while being zoomed out and I don't want to zoom in to operate everything.
Since most people are right handed, and will be scrolling/selecting contacts with their thumb, wouldn't it make more sense having the contact pictures on the left side?
I've got 2 units. It is a great device... Just need a big hardware... and now that Maemo is dead... another good open source OS.
Best OS I ever had on a mobile device, by the way.

it's not a phone, it's a network tablet with some phone capabilities.

But say you don't long nails. Who wants to carry around and use an annoying stylus all the time?

the flip over to silence the phone was a 3rd party devlopment i have on my nokia n95*GB already...
the app only activates when phone is either rining or an alarm goes off, it snoozes when you flip over for alarm wihch is very cool!

It's starting to get cold in Finland...
And the screen is resistive, so it works with gloves, unlike the "competition" :)

He had gloves because there's cold and the phone works fine with gloves

He was a little busy getting rid of the body and concealing his identity with the cunning use of g.l.o.v.e.s.

Will turning the phone from face down to face up do the same thing? or answer? Or do i have to reset the "physical position" between hang ups? ^_^
