Why Nokia resorted to use resistive touch screen instead of capacitive is for this reason: if you forgot to lock the screen, the resistive touch screen will not respond to "sensitive" touches in your pocket or bag, which is the opposite of capacitive touch screen of the iPhone and other touch screen smartphone. Also, the Symbian S60 is a good OS for touchscreen smartphones that it has also been adapted by Samsung for its Omnia HD i890 and Sony Ericsson for its soon-to-be-released Satio. The problem of the N97, which major tech blogs didn't blame, but is the real cause of their disapproval of the N97, is the processor. It uses the ARM 11, which runs at 434 MHz, while the Omnia HD and SE Satio (its S60 competitors), and the iPhone 3G S as well, already sports the ARM Cortex A8 running at 600 MHz. So there you have it. The real problem of the N97 is not with the OS, but with the processor.
