Thanks again to both of you. I have seen the links for the EVO (original) screen "test" this guy Roman G did, and it seemed to come out pretty well. I am used to resistive screens, of course, which have a thin flexible plastic layer over them and scratch very easily. Capacitive screens are solid glass on the front, which makes them much more resistant to scratching.
Again I really appreciate your answering questions here...krazyfiend we have pretty much the same phone history...mine has a few quertybar phones tossed in there as well.
