HTC Ditched the CLearpad!! True Unlimited Multitouch from now on!

[bobdude5]

So i guess htc heard our complaints about the multitouch on the nexus one because they completely ditched that Clearpad 2000 for MaxTouch sensors that have TRUE multitouch.

Here are the Specifications of the maxtouch touch sensors

Unlimited touches
Low power consumption
Fast response — completely redraws screen every 4/1000 of a second (4ms) to eliminate recalibration issues
Excellent signal-to-noise ratio for superior precision — 3x better than competitive products
Superior performance for first-touch response — 3x better than competitive products
Unambiguous, unlimited touch support
Responsive user interface: > 250 Hz report rate for a single touch
Extremely low current consumption: < 1.8 mW in “touch-ready” state
Two touch adjacency of less than 10 mm on a 4.3″ touchscreen
Small footprint with few external components
Supports stylus, fingernails, and gloves
Grip and face suppression functionality: avoids false touches
Size and angle of touch supported
Screen sizes up to 10.2″ are supported by a single chip

The maxtouch touch sensors are going to be in the htc devices from now on including the incredible and the EVO 4g! i am soo happy

We get it, we Nexus owners already feel bad enough.. Gosh...

 

[bobdude5]

well we can always sell our nexuses its not like its going to lose that much value.

eh I dont think people are going to care about an unlocked phone that can't use 3G with both networks. I can't see resale value of this phone being strong now with all these new phones coming out by HTC.

HTC Incredible here I come! Preordering today!

 

[NexusDro]

Will later batches of the Nexus One adopt this new touchscreen?

 

[venelar]

guess I'll be holding off on that sexy nexy purchase to see what else comes out!

Those bastards! I guess that's why Google didn't want multitouch on the nexus when it first came out. They knew it was going to have problems! Oh, well...decisions, decisions!

Hopefully come september HTC releases a serious powerhouse Android phone for T-mobile so I can use my upgrade on it...otherwise I'll have to dish out full price for another phone or just keep my Nexus...

I refuse to buy a phone less powerful than my N1...ever.

my next phone is either the next iPhone (.0001% chance of happening, I like the microPC feel of Android as opposed to the Handheld Device feel of iPhone OS) WinPho7 (high possibility, but it'll be a companion device to my N1 and probably sold, can't see myself using that as it also seems like a Handheld Device as opposed to a microPC) or the 99% chance that I get a super powerful Android phone....

Even if the incredible included a functional man servant droid with purchase, I would nevah, evah get a CDMA phone or have Verizon as a carrier. I'm still hurting when they was once Bell Atlanic.

Yeah it's nice to see an improved screen, but honestly, if I didn't read about this problem here - I'd never in my life notice it. For everyday uses like pinchToZoom, screen works just fine.
Cross-axis problem will most likely be fixed by software updates soon anyway.

Besides... I'm not digging the Incredible's brick design.

 

[Old MuckenMire]

the only time the screen issue even manifests itself is when playing games that require multiple screen touching. I don't play games on my phone tho, so I'm sweet.

I wouldn't trade my Nexus One for an Incredible even if the Incredible was on ATT. I've played with the Incredible and while it has nice things about it, it feels very very cheap and made of plastic. I'll take the Nexus with the screen issue that I never notice over an Incredible that feels cheap. I would notice that every time I picked it up.
