resistive and capacitive. what's the difference? price. that's it. look at the n900 with resistive, you would swear it was capacitive, and people who complained about the n97, it now has kinetic scrolling so it performs very well now.
it was a smart move on htc's part to make it more affordable and reach markets unreachable with expensive devices. and i am sure the user won't be able to tell or feel the difference. he/she will just be very happy.
Since when does kinetic scrolling have anything to do with touchscreen technology? It's purely a software trick, the only thing the touchscreen does is report back to the system which pixel point is currently being touched. After that it's all software.
The reason why people tend to prefer capacitive screens is because they're solid. There's no film to flex under your finger when you press the screen. They're also less prone to scratching and don't require calibration.
