It is a resistive screen.
Also with regards to capacitive screens I hate it when people say it can only be used with a bare hand that is strictly not true. All you need is a special stylus that is conductive. In other words a stylus made fully of metal, as long as the tip is rounded and the screen has a tempered glass laminate it’s not an issue.
This would be the perfect solution, as it would allow the accuracy of using a stylus for handwriting recognition and all the benefits of using a capacitive screen such as a lighter touch, faster response and no accidental registrations when in your pocket for example.

Thats on the dot
. There are quite a few mis-informed statements flying around of late
.
I guess theres no stylus for capacitive screens as there a possibility of scratching the screen? IR screens are an efficent way to go as well, you can have a very rugged screen with excellent response.

It would be quite hard to scratch a capacitive screen with a properly formed conductive stylus. Especially as the screen can be glass and tempered.
IR is probably the worst of the lot, as it has a relatively low resolution, so not good for handwriting recognition. The only other option is surface wave technology. But my view would be to stick with capacitive and a metal stylus.

But can resistive screen be easy to scratch?

Yes in a way, capacitive screens are basically glass (or similar hard type material) screens with a coating of a conductive layer.
While Resistive consist of a few layers with spaces between them. When pressure is applied onto the screen the layers meet at a point and this causes a change in current which is further tranformed into positioning. Therforce there must be a certain degree of motion in the screen, making it softer and sometimes less durable.
@imran
The Neonode N2 uses IR, not sure how to perform on handwriting recognition, never used one, but from what I've heard its supposed to be good. But I maybe wrong.

To aksd
Thanks
Thats to bad i hope in that case that SE/HTC puts a scratch-free screen
But another question on Gsmarena a person tells that tha metal batterycover could disconnect or something like that, is that true?

lol, disconnect what? a call? No such thing, although material and colour does effect your reception. Usually black colour is supposed to give the best reception. But not to an extent that your calls will get disconnected. My ROKR E6 has a metal battery cover and its got the best reception in any phone I've found to date(not that its connected or anything
).

Thanks again
And sorry for ma bad english
And is there maybe a chace that tha whitepaper will change again
I mean support more media files?
And Flash player?
And just one question
Is it true about tha 10 hours talktime? ( coz i find that good enough for.)
Peace

I think what is being reffered to here, is something Bengalboy said in his review.
Basically, he was saying the metal battery cover doesnt seem to fit too well (proto phone?), and he has concerns that it may cause the battery to dislodge when the phone is in use.
Hopefully this is a proto issue, and SE will have it sorted before production.

From what I remember the Neonode N2 and the original both run a version of CE with their own GUI on top. Very small cute phones!
I knew the screen was IR, but it doesn’t support handwriting recognition, from what I remember IR technology has a resolution that is about three to four times as poor as capacitive. Capacitive also has a limited resolution when compared to resistive, but it’s still good enough for handwriting recognition. Surface wave also allows you to use the Z plane so you can have pressure for example when painting.
