I have this phone, quite impressed by it, the screen is awesome. I keep thinking I have it on full brightness when it's always pretty much on its lowest. I find the battery life pretty dysmal though but maybe that's cos I just got it and been testing out all the features. I've gotten used to the keyboard but I read somewhere you can replace it with a HTC one.

Stick sense on this with a capacitive screen and it'd be ace.

Pretty sure that the screen on this one is capacitive too. The use of plastic instead of glass doesn't distinguish between the two screen types, you know.

@sockatume: No, really?...

It's resistive.

The screen isn't resistive, it's capacitive. (Will admit its tricky to find definitive specs, but everyone else seems to think it's capacitive.)

Anyway, the fact that it can be activated with the gentle press of a finger but not with the (firmer, even) press of a pen or other blunt instrument is sufficient of a test, right?

@mwardm: Many places have also said the screen is glass and it most certainly isn't. I'll admit, I didn't do the pen test because it just seemed self evident to me that this screen was in fact resistive; it didn't respond to the lightest of touches and a little bit of pressure was required to elicit a response. Comparing it to the T-Mobile G1, the difference was like night and day. Whatever technology it uses, it's rubbish.

Capacitive screens are like laptop touchpads, you can calibrate them to different levels of responsiveness, essentially what surface area of the sensor has to be activated before it'll register a touch. I can crank up the sensitivity threshold on my laptop touchpad until it needs a firm press with a thumb before it'll respond, that doesn't suddenly make it resistive.

As has been pointed out, the trivial way to see if a screen is capacitive is to prod it with a blunt piece of plastic. If it responds, it's resistive.

Just a heads-up: I spoke today to O2's retentions department and they said that the HTC HD2 will be available on contract from sometime around 3 pm today - they haven't been given the go-ahead yet @ 12pm.

I nearly plumbed for The Galaxy a while back, glad I held off now.

Are you going to go back and correct the review of the Pulse too, then? :p
