mobiles that have a touchscreen + call/discard or menu-home-return keys are referred to as full touch mobiles. all the androids & most of nokia's touchscreen phones are full touch.

difference between resistive & capacitive in short is capacitive screen respond better to touch. sensitivity can even be programmed (heard somewhere). so its likely to register a touch better & also the sensitivity will last for many years whereas resistive screen become unresponsive (sensitivity lowers noticeably) in 2yrs or so.

Touchscreen phones with no physical keypad. Touchscreen can be resistive or capacitive it doesn't matter.
