Naturally the iPhone UI is exciting... But I think that the UI possibilities is an important reason to choose the one over the other. Like; resistive displays allow you to use a stylus, which might be good when you have a small display but high resolution. On the other hand, a capacitive display can be made harder and are therefore not so easily broken, the capacitive display also enables you to use your fingers in a more natural way, not just one finger, but many... This means better and more precise interaction with your device.
Maybe we need a wiki-page where people can add the pro's and con's of the different options?
