What is the battery capacity going to be? And why does the PDF on the web site open up sideways? For heaven’s sake, that’s about as aggravating a thing as I’ve ever seen.

It’s not possible to change the screen, we are sorry =/

But our tests reveal that the user experience with our screen is actually comparable to that of the capacitative ones. Our panel is a sightly updated version of the one from the Omnia i900 by Samsung. All the users of that phone are more than happy with it.

I should correct one thing said by #8. Resistive screens are much more precise than capacitative, and onscreen keyboards just work better. So no worries on that ;)

PS2: Our little “secret” is that in GeeksPhone headquarters there are no comfy chairs with executives. As you can see, even me (as COO) i’m always on the move through the blogosphere ;)

I agree with you, with a capacitive touchscreen it’s perfect ! I don’t like resistive touchscreens.

The main advantage of capacitive is that is way more reactive then resistive.
The only reason the magic on screen keyboard works so well is because it is capacitive. If you feel you are touching the screen with your thumb, you are also sure you get a response of the phone. A resistive screen requires some pressure, making it less responsive.

@Jay @RM
Completely agree.. toss in a capacitive display and we’ve got a winner.

@Jay

Exactly. Maybe now we can get all the anticipators to band together and request a capacitive display…

Ooooh. Goody. For this phone I MIGHT even forego my hardware keyboard requirement. This is just too tempting. Rrrrr.

Resistive == can use a stylus, tho !

if this didn’t have a resistive touch screen I MIGHT consider this possibly better than the hero.
