Glass touch screen?

[Complex Pants]

I didn't see this mentioned anywhere else, but is the screen glass?

I hope so. That is a big thing. The HTC HD2 is glass so i imagine this one would be too.

There's no way they would make it anything but glass at this point, all high end smartphones have glass screens now and they'd be stupid not to make one that is.

very good question! I would like to know too...

I believe it is because the HD2 is glass and like Genetic Bloom said, not to many high end smart phones dont have glass...but any clarification would help!

Yes, it does have glass... I've ready multiple articles detailing the specs and that was my first question as well, once i find one i'll post it.

it supports pinch and zoom so yeah. I dont think resistives can do that

you are talking about the difference between resistive and capacitive touch screens. We knew that the EVO has a capacitive screen. But just because it is capacitive does not mean it is glass. For example, all of the Palm smart phones have capacitive screens, but they are acrylic.
