Nokia to put capacitive screens on future 5800's?

This article contains unofficial information.
According to unnamed sources, Nokia has taken notice and has ordered enough capacitive touch screen panels for two million 5800 XpressMusic handsets. The new version of the phone will probably begin shipping in the May-June period.
It is also possible that the capacitive screens are here to stay, as Nokia is expected to pull out of its sleeve more models using the technology, starting Q3.

I am a woman. I have long (not crazy long) nails... capacitive screens are very hard for me to use with my nails. Damn it. i shouldn't have to cut my nails off to use the stupid phone

simply don't buy this phone then! they make phones that aren't touch screen i think its a better idea to get the capacitive :)

they should not do that the glyde version 1 was an epic failure because of the capacitive screen then they changed it to a resistive screen and it works better than the dare

Throw a physical qwerty and I don't even mind no touchscreen at all. I've heard the music coming through this Xpress Music phone is great. I may buy this, the thing that holds me back is that 3G is only available through AT&T ( too expensive ) and there is no Yahoo! Messenger for S60 yet.
