[General Questions and Answers] HTC Touch Freak:
I've Read through half the first page and got tired of reading. I have never used my stylus on my Original HTC Touch or my Touch Diomand2. NEVER. I have big thumbs and am a nail bitter. So no nail to use on the screen. I manage on the resistive screen 30xs better than on my Ipod touch or on my Zune HD.

So below are some responses to comments. Enjoy

Exactly. I can type way faster and more accurate on resistive than on Capacitive and can also hit smaller target areas with resistive. (ie. Internet Links)

Firs of all.... With the newest (Diamond and Newer)resistive screens you do not have to press QUIT HARD.

Capacitive being more responsive to light touches incurrs more errors when typing at speed. You have to have your hand off the screen then back on. With resistive you can rest your thumbs on the screen with the touch being registered only when YOU want it to. I multi press a letter faster on resistive screens than capacitive. I'll challange anyone to a texting contest if they'd like.

Multi-Touch is a gimmeck and over rated..... Ok I take that back it's cool for some things like games where you HAVE TO use 2 hands to press 2 buttons at once.... Other than that it is pointless. Multi-touch DOES NOT make you type faster. Do me a favor. Hit M with one thumb and hold it down. Now while Holding M press E on your capacitive screen and let go of E while still holding M. Which letter registers..... Exactly wouldn't that screw you up all the time with how sensitive the screen is?

The glare is because of the LCD used and also that it is right up against the glass. No light can get trapped between the 2 layers make everything faded.

I agree with the pinch to zoom. Such a gimeck. I like using my phone one handed. Zoombar Wins by far. Only time I use 2 hands is to write messages or URLs. Who cares if you have to move to the part u want to zoom in on. Doesnt bother me. It's Easy enough.

I agree with you accept for they stylus. Never use it. It's just there to SR the phone after flashing new ROMs. :D It's all about thumb control for me and I can hit anything with my thumb that you can with a stylus.

No stylus for me. My fat, nail-less thumbs can hit any link your stylus can without zooming.

Completely agree Pinching to zoom. It looks so pointless and rediculus. I was using my ZuneHD to browse the forum earlier and well I thought it was my TD2 (They look alike :)) and well I was looking for a zoombar. I hate using Pinch to ZOOM. I really do.

I have no nail and prefer resistive for texting and accuracy but love the sensitivity of the capcitive sometimes.

1. Wrong. I do that on my Zune and it's ok because it's thinner than my touch diamond 2 and the same size. On anything larger like my ipod touch it is well. Ackward and retarded. You must have Shaq hands.

2.WRONG. What you are describing there is resistive screens not capacitive. I own both types of screens on 4 devices. You HAVE TO ZOOM on a capacitive or it wont register on small things. Why do you thing the Ipod touch/iphone have such HUGE buttons on EVERY App. The software is based on HUGE Buttons.

3. Never use it. Don't care for it.

4. OMG I can precisely place my cursor anywhere I want to without a magnifying glass. That just proves that capacitive is less accurate that it NEEDS assisstance. What am I 90 and I cant see? I need a nurse to help me pick a spot?

The Capacitive screen is what is drawing me away from the HD2. It's also whats keeping me away from Android and the HERO I o so long for. I'm affraid I will lose my quickness with typing and accuracy I get with resistive. Yet I do sometimes want capacitive when scrolling through TF3D. The new generation of resistive screens are just grand and people are just incompetent if they cant use them at all. They are incompetent to see the actual advantages and are drawn in by gimmecks

I again challenge anyone to a texting competition that has a capacitive screen.
