Well, I`ve changed a touch screen on the Touch Cruise and it wasn`t very difficut - the hardest part was to find how to get the old one off B) If you`re going to do it just remember - ALWAYS open the plasting thingy before taking out the lens cable :(


oh..is this capacitive touch screen?

Lol, nope, you people who keep dreaming about multitouch should stop asking around here and go out buying an Iphone.

It simply can't be a capacitive screen because of :
1. It's a spare part, so it's meant to be a substitute for the original touch panel in case of damage or malfunction, even if it's an improved version.
2. Even if it was a capacitive surface, omnia doesn't have the drivers to handle it, and not even the hardware, I strongly believe that resistive and capacitive wouldn't share the same connector, not even the same coordinate translation technology.
3. Even if it was a capacitive surface (ignoring the first two motivations mentioned above) no multitouch anyway because actually WM doesn't support it, not even in the late 6.5 release, M$ said they will support Multitouch in WM7, wich si not around and will not for a time, so a capacitive screen would be a little early for the actual software (OS) capabilities.

Omnia will never be a true multitouch device, let you soul (and the omnia's one) rest.

The new screens are much more sensitive and can be compared to the Iphone ones but these are still not "multitouch". All the most recent Omnia (like Omnia Reloaded) come out equipped with this new touch. I found many shops on Ebay B)

i've contacted a few touch panel suppliers this recently and seems all giving me the same answer, that the current available ctp technology only supports the so called multitouch function which only able to do picture zooming. In manufacturers' pov, currently there is no true multitouch tp on the market, neither iphone nor others ctp on the market.

Anyway, isn't the incoming Omnia HD equipped with ctp?

That's a very superficial answer because actually multitouch on Iphone isn't used only for zooming pictures, in fact it's a matter of software usage of that infos (touch coordinates), there are for example painting apps on iphone which allows you to paint with more than one finger on screen at the same time, that's not "only zooming". It has even been used to tap multiple buttons on screen.

Look at this for example, isn't this "multitouch"? If it's not may be i'm missing the correct definition of multitouch.

you're right, multitouch can be very handy in many situations and i'm sure more and more pda will come equipped with it in the near future. But since we will never see a multitouch screen for our Omnia, please guys don't go offtopic B)
