Having used both I would say that capacitive screens are easier to use, smoother and better at moving things around. Resistive screens are more accurate and less hassle if you want to do something quickly - like open a link on a web page. They also mean you can have smaller sized devices.]]>Aug 28th 2009 6:10PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/08/28/nokia-n900-now-giving-germany-and-italy-a-way-to-pre-order/http://www.engadget.com/2009/08/28/nokia-n900-now-giving-germany-and-italy-a-way-to-pre-order/
Yeah. That's why capacitive screens are more touch-friendly...

Seriously - they are more accurate, but you HAVE to be very precise when using them, e.g. by using a stylus or your fingernails. Just use a 5800 or any other device with a resistive screen to experience it yourself...]]>Aug 28th 2009 10:35PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/08/28/nokia-n900-now-giving-germany-and-italy-a-way-to-pre-order/http://www.engadget.com/2009/08/28/nokia-n900-now-giving-germany-and-italy-a-way-to-pre-order/

Nokia needs to try harder ]]>Aug 28th 2009 5:17PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/08/28/nokia-n900-now-giving-germany-and-italy-a-way-to-pre-order/http://www.engadget.com/2009/08/28/nokia-n900-now-giving-germany-and-italy-a-way-to-pre-order/Aug 28th 2009 5:19PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/08/28/nokia-n900-now-giving-germany-and-italy-a-way-to-pre-order/http://www.engadget.com/2009/08/28/nokia-n900-now-giving-germany-and-italy-a-way-to-pre-order/

YOU need to try harder]]>Aug 28th 2009 5:22PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/08/28/nokia-n900-now-giving-germany-and-italy-a-way-to-pre-order/http://www.engadget.com/2009/08/28/nokia-n900-now-giving-germany-and-italy-a-way-to-pre-order/

A strange thing that Engadget has never heard about taxes. Maybe they don't exist in the States. But VAT in Germany is 20%, 19% in Italy. The price before taxes was 500€. 500€ x 1.2 = 600€. What's so hard about that?]]>Aug 28th 2009 5:21PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/08/28/nokia-n900-now-giving-germany-and-italy-a-way-to-pre-order/http://www.engadget.com/2009/08/28/nokia-n900-now-giving-germany-and-italy-a-way-to-pre-order/
Good catch, though.]]>Aug 28th 2009 5:33PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/08/28/nokia-n900-now-giving-germany-and-italy-a-way-to-pre-order/http://www.engadget.com/2009/08/28/nokia-n900-now-giving-germany-and-italy-a-way-to-pre-order/
If the german VAT is 19% and the italy one is 20%, the huuuuge discrepancy is +4€ in germany and -1€ in italy, as both countries has it listed as 599€.

For future reference, in europe all prices are VAT included, unless you are bying a industrial scale cement mixer ad only then it might, and only just might be without VAT.]]>Aug 28th 2009 6:06PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/08/28/nokia-n900-now-giving-germany-and-italy-a-way-to-pre-order/http://www.engadget.com/2009/08/28/nokia-n900-now-giving-germany-and-italy-a-way-to-pre-order/
You really think that they don't know about VAT? This stuff is mentioned everytime prices in Europe are mentioned and they 100% of time ignore it, because it gets people to read their stories and post comments. Only other explanation would be that they are toal idots, and on the basis of tehir success, it seem unlikely]]>Aug 28th 2009 6:18PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/08/28/nokia-n900-now-giving-germany-and-italy-a-way-to-pre-order/http://www.engadget.com/2009/08/28/nokia-n900-now-giving-germany-and-italy-a-way-to-pre-order/
500euros + local taxes.

US customers however are used to see the prices quoted without their local sales tax, so for the sake of comparability it would make sense to quote European prices without VAT as well. Some Europeans will be confused by this because they are used to the higher prices including VAT.]]>Aug 29th 2009 1:48AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/08/28/nokia-n900-now-giving-germany-and-italy-a-way-to-pre-order/http://www.engadget.com/2009/08/28/nokia-n900-now-giving-germany-and-italy-a-way-to-pre-order/Aug 29th 2009 2:35PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/08/28/nokia-n900-now-giving-germany-and-italy-a-way-to-pre-order/http://www.engadget.com/2009/08/28/nokia-n900-now-giving-germany-and-italy-a-way-to-pre-order/Aug 28th 2009 5:30PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/08/28/nokia-n900-now-giving-germany-and-italy-a-way-to-pre-order/http://www.engadget.com/2009/08/28/nokia-n900-now-giving-germany-and-italy-a-way-to-pre-order/Aug 28th 2009 5:54PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/08/28/nokia-n900-now-giving-germany-and-italy-a-way-to-pre-order/http://www.engadget.com/2009/08/28/nokia-n900-now-giving-germany-and-italy-a-way-to-pre-order/Aug 29th 2009 2:13AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/08/28/nokia-n900-now-giving-germany-and-italy-a-way-to-pre-order/http://www.engadget.com/2009/08/28/nokia-n900-now-giving-germany-and-italy-a-way-to-pre-order/Aug 28th 2009 5:33PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/08/28/nokia-n900-now-giving-germany-and-italy-a-way-to-pre-order/http://www.engadget.com/2009/08/28/nokia-n900-now-giving-germany-and-italy-a-way-to-pre-order/Aug 28th 2009 5:37PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/08/28/nokia-n900-now-giving-germany-and-italy-a-way-to-pre-order/http://www.engadget.com/2009/08/28/nokia-n900-now-giving-germany-and-italy-a-way-to-pre-order/You should consider yourself lucky.
