Most of the smart phones have touch sensitive screen. There are resistive and capacitive touch screens. So which one of them is better? I searched around the Internet and found some info…
Advantages of resistive touch screen
- Lower cost.
- Can operate with any pointing devices like stylus and nail.
- Good for handwriting recognition system with a stylus.
- More accurate than capacitive touch screen.
Disadvantages of resistive touch screen
- Multi touch support not available yet. (Maybe there is…)
Advantages of capacitive touch screen
- High touch resolution.
- Visibility good even in sunlight.
- Not affected by dirt, grease, moisture.
- Multi touch support available.
Disadvantages of capacitive touch screen
- Must be touched by finger (at least 5% humidity).
- More expensive.
Check out Apple iPhone multi touch in action…
So resistive touch screen Suck? See for yourself, HTC Touch Diamond2 which use resistive touch screen in action…
So which one to choose? Up to you…

... Have you noticed
resistive touch screen are better bcz they will not broke easily when they fall and they are also as responsing as capacitive touch screen are so i will go for resistive touch screen !!!
I WILL PREFER U TO BUF CAPACITIVE TOUCH SCREEN PHONE RATHER THAN RESISTIVE AS NO ONE WANTS TO ALWAYS TAKE PEN IN HANDS TO OPERATE THEIR PHONE.CAPACITIVE TOUCH SCREEN IS MY FIRST PREFRENCE.
i think u should go for resistive touch as it is strong and more accurate.
Its just my advise as i have both screens phone available.
But ur decision is upto u i have just a advise that i had share to u all.
capacitive, b’cos its new & advanced

I THINK CAPACITIVE IS BETTER AS IT IS EASIER TO USE THAN THE RESISTIVE IT IS ONLY MY OPINION
i own a nokia c6 that has a resistive touch screen.
just because it is resistive does not mean you can only use a stylus or your nails…you can use just your finger too!!!
resistive —- requires pressure from any object (so your nail, your finger, a stylus, etc)
capacitive —- requires conductivity from your finger ie. the moisture in your hands (so you cannot use a capacitive touchscreen while wearing gloves, or using a stylus, etc. YOUR BARE SKIN HAS TO BE TOUCHING THE SCREEN).
so therefore resistive is better rite?
i like resistive touchscreens better because i have long nails and use them to tap away lol i find trying to get my actual finger to touch the screen example (on an iphone for example)
on the other hand….i’ve heard resistive touchscreens don’t last as long as capacitive ones…meaning over time they would lose their “touch” ability — excess pressure would be required to activate the functions or overtime the screen would stop responding completely rendering the screen useless. i have yet to see this happen to my phone….
in my opinion i prefer resistive
….sorry ===> that first paragraph should read “…my actual finger to touch the screen DIFFICULT” and not ‘example’
