What he says is pretty relevant for me. I don't care about drawing straight lines in a telephone, but I do care if they die on the first drop.

Phones drop sooner or later, and they have to have some tolerance to gravity.

Its not all about the touch though is it? OK, put on gloves (given its winter) and repeat test.

I can quite happily use my touch-screen with my gloves ON (HTC Touch HD), and, despite "apparently" not being as good as the iPhone, accurately enough to get the right letters (OK, I'm not doing full-on CAD drawing but who is?).

How are our blue-fingered friends in iPhone land?

So, NOT doing CAD, typing a text in -10 Celcius, which is the best touch-screen?

My point is, this test is pointless!

tim, you've added nothing whatsoever to the discussion.

I will trust this type of review, when it will be done on a flatbed plotter, with controlled pressure applied onto the (conductive) pen. Until then, I will trust myself...

Firstly i'd like to say, i love my iPhone it's the best phone i've had. However i haven't had it for over a month now.
I pulled my keys out of my pocket and my iPhone came with them, fell to the ground, and shattered the screen. I've been waiting since the 3rd of December to get my replacement through optus insurance who a screwing me around, that is beside the point though.
Th iPhone screen works well, but is far to easy to break!!

on xda its been proven that this is fake check this thread

Touchyness is one thing with a touchscreen, but there are two other critical factors. The first is durability, in the sense of how much abuse the screen can put up with and whether too hard of a press or knock will cause it to no longer work (or as effectively). The second critical consideration is longevity. Longevity differs from durability in the sense that its how long the screen will last with standard use. The two are related, but do not necessarily equate to each other.

A lower sensitivity screen may actually be better in the long term considering the time that someone may have the phone (realistically much longer than people may think). Would someone upgrading a touch screen do so to get the latest technology or because the old phone wasn't working or working as well anymore? in most cases you'll find its the latter, even though they generally last a shorter time anyway!
