I love this phone but I wonder why they used a capacitive screen?

Instead of a resistive screen so a stylus could be used as well as a finger?

Cause no one uses a stylus!!!

Touch based interfaces should be designed to NOT use a stylus. It should be finger only. HTC still uses resistive for some of their windows mobile phones, but my guess is that that will be changing very soon as windows mobile becomes more finger friendly.

Well, a lot of companies use their WINMO phones to capture signatures of people, so there are some advantages.

But yeah, giving the phone a stylus would just encourage developers to make small menus >.
