Is the Samsung instinct touch screen heat-censored like the Blackberry storm?

My boyfriend has the blackberry storm and it's always a little complicated for me to use because I always get my nails done like all the time. I get them curved and long so it's hard to press things with my fingers so I don't like his touch screen because it's heat censored and I actually have to press it with my thumb. I have sprint and I want to get the instinct. Is the touch screen the same way? Or can I just press it with my nails?

It'll help me decide if I should actually get the instinct or not.
Also I know some phones like the dare, the voyager, and the glide like vibrate when you click it. I love it!

Does the instinct do that too or no?
