810 Glove-usin' touch screen

[Dr. Impossible]

The engadget review of the 810 lists it in the video and article as having the ability to use with gloves on. Is this in fact, true? Bonus: If so, would that make it true for the 820 and 822 as well?


Thanks

It's absolutely true. I was out on Saturday and it was chilly, so I was wearing a pair of thin Isotoner gloves. I used my phone quite a lot with them on. I wouldn't say it's easy to text that way, but I managed to play plenty of Words with Friends and Word Jam with my gloves on.

The 820 and 822 also have super sensitive touch. I played with an 820 at an AT&T store a couple of weeks back and tested out the screen response by wrapping my sweater sleeves over my hands. It worked. Haven't even seen an 822 in person yet, but it would definitely work with that phone as well.

Yes it works. Nokia implemented this tech on all of their WP8 devices.

Niiiiice. Good to know as I am literally teeting on the edge of taking advantage of the cyber-monday free 810 offer and jumping ship from Sprint. Gaaaahhh!!!! What to do!!

Thanks
