<pre wrap="">The difference between iphone and freerunner is that the software on
iphone is specially designed and written for the iphone, but on
freerunner you can run almost any linux software. How would you for
example play Numpty Physics on a capacitive screen?

<pre wrap="">Point taken but my fat fingers work great on the iPhone and not so on
the FR. Also it often registers my drag on the FR as a click whereas the
Capacitive touchscreen of the iPhone and T-Mobile G1 easily distinguish
between clicks or drags.
I found that the only semi-accurate method of input on my FR is the
stylus that is included, without it the phone is virtually useless to me
and with it a pain to use. I continue to use my samsung 409 flip-phone
because I can easily navigate and even using that annoying T9 input
method is still 100x faster than my FR with or without the stylus. I'm
glad to see the GTA03 going to capacitive, I might be able to make use
of the screen for once.

I could live with that, I prefer capacitive screens after having used
both kinds. I'd by the 03C assuming it has had the major issues of the
02 fixed before it launches. <br>
<br>
Having payed the high price and not been able to use it as a daily
phone for more than a few days at a time since purchase I'm about ready
to put it back up for sale if improvements don't really keep rolling
forward soon.<br>
