Nokia 5800 May Soon Get New Capacitive Touchscreen
Well its just a rumor for now but the word out is that Nokia 5800 XpressMusic’s resistive touchscreen may soon be replaced by a capacitive touchscreen.
A report from DigiTimes indicates that Nokia has ordered 2 million capacitive touschsreens for their super successful 5800 model. These new capacitive touschscreen units are expected to be shipped in May-June. DigiTimes cites a Taiwan handset component supplier as it’s source.
The rival models from Apple, Samsung and LG also use capacitive touscsreens for their touch phones. Nokia 5800’s screen faced both acclaims and criticism from reviewers worldwide.
Resistive screens needs a solid and precise touch to navigate and they can be used with a stylus as well. Interestingly, capacitive screens are more sensitive and have better response times but are usually more suitable for multi touch devices like Iphone.
If all goes well, look for Nokia to incorporate capacitive panels in an increasing percentage of their line up. Keep your fingers crossed, we will keep you updated on this news/ rumor and what Nokia has in mind actually.
Is the current resistive touch screen ok for you or would you prefer to have capacitive touch feel on your 5800? Which screen technology would be a better choice for the 5800? Share your views in the comments.
