    Default Touch screen Question

    Hello,
    I was wondering if the touch screen will respond to a stylus or even a woman's nails?
    My wife would like to switch from the BB to a Android phone but the problem is she has nails..
    Does anyone know if the screen will respond to nails or even a stylus??

    Thanks,

    The touch screen works off heat and will not work with nails nor a stylus.

    Well although the answer above is correct, a stylus will not work, the reasoning behind it is incorrect. Capacitive screens do not sense heat, quick explanation they "sense" a distortion in the electromagnetic field on the screen.
    Google "Capacitive Touch Screens" for a more detailed explanation.
