But surface wave is less durable and also effected by dust etc.. on the surface of the screen  .
Guess that leaves us with Resistive or capacitive all over again lol

Which is capable of higher resolution?
Also, I'm assuming it is not possible to use a screen protector on capacitive???? |

I'm not knowledgable on the subject, but imran mentioned a few posts above that resistive have higher resolutions.
A few links http://www.embedsystems.com/devices/touch-screen
http://www.tvielectronics.com/Touch_Screen.html
Nothing about resolutions, but worth a read

On a capacitive screen the resolution is limited by the change in impedance. The impedance change causes a change in the frequency of the oscillators at the end of embedded electrode. There’s a limit to the Signal to Noise Ratio of the oscillator and the ADC (analogue to digital converter).
On a resistive screen as there is no oscillator the SNR does not play an important role and the limit is down to the ADC (analogue to digital converter) the larger the ADC bit width the better the resolution.
I believe you can get screen protectors for capacitive screens, never looked into it, but I would assume they are made of a conductive material, sorry never needed to look into that!
Apologies for any mistakes in the above, but I think that gives you the basic concept. We’re going way off topic here...

Hi all,
Well when i had my iPhone i fitted it with anti glare film protector and there are lots to choose from so i would say it is safe to assume it is not a problem. Although i don't know if it was made of a special material or not but is priced the same as ordinary quality screen protectors.

Thanks for the answers. It is because there is an Iphone fanboy im my class and he has brainwashed all in my class to think that the that iPhone is the best so to persuade him i must have an perfect phone which i consider X1 is but he thinks that capasitive screens are the best because you almost not shall touch the screen before it reacts and it is scrath free but in a way and another is resistive screens not just as good as capasitive.
is it all resitive screens that u should touch a little harder or it is just the w960's screen.
 is my life I Xperia X1 I Metal is not phone, it is the style of life |

hello all!
i was thinking of getting a new phone this year and was eyeing the X1. i have been a P series owner since 2002. is the X1 a good upgrade? i have looked at the white paper and specs on sonys site and somethings seem odd.
#1. it only supports SD cards? why doesnt it support memory stick since its a sony product?
#2. some sites do not mention the 2nd camera for video calls but other sites do. there is no camera on the front of the phone so can you do 2 way video calling? and is there a 2nd camera?
#3. as a long time P series user would it be better to get the P1 or the X1?
thats all for right now thanks!! |

#1 It's because HTC is the manufacture SE has designed it and made the GUI
#2 It is 3G so it is obvious that is has videocalls
#3 Your choice.
P1 has a older OS than X1 which uses WM 6.1 that has more apps

@ Naar
If you don't mind windows mobile then go ahead. The hardware platform is really good.
1. It doesn't support m2 because it's more oriented towards USA and microsd is more common than m2 in most of the countries including USA. (It isn't a Sony product since HTC is making the phone.)
2. There is a video call camera. It's on the front just really well hidden.
One of the red circled spaces holds the video call cam and the other the light sensor.
3. In my opinion the X1 would be better. Why do you want the P1i?
If you want to stay with UIQ then go for the G900,G700, G702 or the upcoming Paris (P5?). They should be faster than the P1i, also the G702 and Paris will have UIQ 3.3. |

It's not manufactured by SE. But SE did the important part - the R&D. |

Right, they also invented the wheel 
They did the R&D for the HTC Diamond as well did'nt you know? As well as the HTC TyTnII, the TOuch Cruise and the entire line of HTC phones.
WHen you say R&D it means hardware platfrom and core OS functionality. SE did'nt do this, this is why they outsourced so that they can save on lead time and money on starting out with a new platfrom. What SE have done is only Application development as well as localization.

On a slightly minor note, Does the X1 have a toughen Sapphire glass for the screen?
My old Artemis and even my Touch Cruise had minor hairline scratches which appeared gradually from weeks of use,
