1293944 2012-08-12 22:36:00 Some of the budget Nokia Asha's are advertised with a "responsive" touch screen and full qwerty key board. From Digi Parallel Imports... (www.digiparallelimports.co.nz)
I could be wrong, but afaik, all the Asha range have resistive. It's a hallmark of older Nokia's.

1293945 2012-08-13 04:09:00 Why do you want a touchscreen so much?

Because I am sick of hearing the buttons on my Nokia clicking when pressed.

Ok, I can understand that. You don't want to go with a resistive touchscreen, you *will* get frustrated quickly with its unresponsiveness. If you're willing to go slightly over $200, this (www.fairbuy.co.nz)is a steal. Yes, its android, but the screen is good, camera is very good for the price, and it runs pretty well. Yes, it is android, but I really don't see android as that insecure, no less so that any other OS.
If android is absolutely out, try this (pricespy.co.nz) and this (pricespy.co.nz).
Both have capacitive not resistive touchscreens, but I'd take *any* android over them.

240x320 pixels....
For $300, I don't think this (www.noelleeming.co.nz) can be beaten. 1ghz processor, 5mp camera, 4inch 800x480 screen. Pretty good specs for the price.

1293951 2012-08-13 05:52:00 I just bought one of these... brand new, $405, with a leather case, screen protector, car charger and a 32GB SD card. Should be turning up tomorrow. :D

Yes, that's a nice phone all right. Don't know if I'd take that or the Sony xperia sola (www.fairbuy.co.nz). The xperia's a little cheaper, has nfc, a dual core processor. Only gingerbread though.

Even I could be tempted at that price and its on the right network i.e not telecom
