<i>the &quot;flagship&quot; N97 was released with a resistive screen</i><p>I had a similar experience working with another company. It was <i>after</i> the iPhone was available. But they still wanted to support a resistive screen in a high end product that wouldn&#x27;t debut until years later.<p>I just couldn&#x27;t believe the cognitive dissonance. Once the iPhone screen appeared, resistive screens were deader than Kurt Cobain. People in the trenches understood it clearly. But somehow top management either didn&#x27;t get the memo or managed to rationalize it away.
