<p>The first S60 touch UI devices have bigger screen resolution than older devices. Therefore, if the queried screen resolution is 360 x 640 (or 640 x 360 in landscape orientation), you can assume that touch UI is supported. On devices that support WRT 1.1, you can use the<code> DisplayResolution</code> attribute of the <a href="GUID-279A3698-D09B-44BF-8340-739E19F94727.html#GUID-279A3698-D09B-44BF-8340-739E19F94727"><code>ISysInfo.GetInfo()</code></a> method to determine screen resolution.</p>
