Resistive screens have to be calibrated and they don't work well with a finger touch. You usually have to use a fingernail or stylus to do anything. They also don't support multitouch, or at least I haven't encountered one that does.

I've owned Android devices with resistive screens. It's not a good experience. Multitouch being the biggest thing missing.

If you want pencil-thin accuracy, I guess a resistive screen is better in some ways. But, something like the Galaxy Note 2 with Wacom stylus is probably better and still has a capacitive touchscreen for fingers and multitouch.
