Touch Screen Form

Hi,I have an old HTC VIVA mobile which is almost 4 years old. I want to buy new one. I am looking around.I have a question about touch screen form i read for newer mobiles now. My mobile says, it has resistive touchscreen where as new mobiles usually say, they have capacitive touchscreen. My question is, what is a difference between resistive and capacitive touch screen? What difference does it make to the phone?Thanks.

Capacitive >>>> Resistive. It's difficult to explain the difference as I'm online via phone and one can list a lot of advantages of capacitive over resistive. Just Google it, you'll find many useful links. And remember that all phones now have a capacitive touchscreen, I don't think any company still makes phones with a resistive touchscreen.

resistive requires force on the display to make it work. capacitive requires a light touch. the difference are substantial.

Thanks but why Xperia J is better than Xperia NEO? i think NEO is more expensive than J so it must have something more than what J offers! please suggest.
