a little OT, but... why have you folks been waitong for so long to
discuss/complain about that it's been in the wiki for weeks(months?)?
i mean regarding finger input and the like... capacitive is lightyears
ahead, but the openmoko phones are portable computers with integrated
modem (talking about debian**) and i a have to choose between carrying a
mouse an kdb aound or carrying a tiny stylus around, i'd go for the stylus.
as a daily phone, capacitive is way more comfortable, but i've been
using my moko as a daily phone with no problems and no sytlus either
since november.
a phone for the general public is better off having a capacitive
touchscreen PERIOD.
