Having used resistive screens on phones in the past, they feel much more clunky. Having to physically press down on the screen rather than just brush your fingers over what you want makes you feel less like you're interacting with technology and more like you're interacting with apps.

Per your other posts, you said you were having difficulty with touches registering on the iPhone; if that's the case, I can't imagine any circumstance in which the iPhone would seem better to you, but that's not the typical circumstance (though I do have a friend who has MS and the screen doesn't recognize her either).

Still, for those people who have the typical experience with capacitive touchscreens, the difference is like night and day.
