Default Using your finger as oppose to the stylus

How many of you actually use your stylus with your X1?

As much as I have to constantly clean the screen, I've probably used my stylus less then 5 times since I purchased the X1....

Interesting, even with web browsing, I auto-zoom in and still finger tap all buttons or form fields.

I use my fingers more even with my P1i. Only pull out the stylus when clicking on small icons. So, will probably do the same with my X1.

My usage is about as much as yours, gunzy, which is few and far between. I'v been using a WM PDA before the X1 (heavy stylus usage!) and am absolutely delighted that I can finally let the stylus stick where it is.

Granted, it was a bit of training to use the optical joystick and the 'enter' and 'ok' buttons but with them plus the keyboard there is almost no need to use the stylus.

Gotta say I'm not surprised... I've had the P800, P900, P910 and the P990 and the stylus was always the last resort. SE seem to have acknowledged day one that using one hand is an advantage....

Yeah you can really get around using only your fingers! It's great. The only time I have to use the stylus is when I use remote desktop (the inbuilt XP-version or VNC).

You can expand it a tiny bit here: Settings -> Keyboard and then 'big keys'
