Stylus or Finger,what's your prefered input method ?

Post by greekisland »

Greetings to all on the forum from the Greek islands !

At long last I received my new 5,fully charged and problem free !

I also have the 604,which I really like,but no comparison to the new gen.The 604 goes to my son now !

My question to all :Do you prefer Stylus or Finger for input ?

Any screen scratches due to Stylus use ?


Thanks in advance for feedback and comments :)

Surgical gloves for sure. But stopped using them because they were too expensive, and after time I started sweating and it was leaving worst finger prints

Wow, the score is tied. I use my fat finger for most navigation and then use the tip of my fingernail to "click" on small links.

I am actually amazed! nobody here uses Surgical gloves? (except me?)

How embarassing, I wish I could change my vote, I dont want to be the one only one.

I use my finger but since getting the noreve case I may switch to a stylus because it is now hard to hit the sides of the screen.

Finger most of the time, but stylus for certain web sites. There is a small tear in the case that came with the 605 that I can keep a stylus in, but its a lot easier just to use a finger for navigating.

Since I'm a double amputee, I use my toes......







to hold my stylus.....












Just Kidding. I'm with nitro and andre. Only use the stylus when I have to.

I almost always use my fingers - and yes, I use the tip of my finger nail to click on tiny links! But I find it does react better, and seemingly faster, the odd times I happen to use a stylus.

I use the stylus for the first calibration so when I do use my fingers it will be more accurate.
