The thing is, you shouldn't have to "angle" anything. You should be able to easily swipe from the center to the edge, and it should go all the way, no fuss. From your comments, it sounds like you "babied" it in order to get it to work properly. You should be able to use your thumb, regardless of how big, and you should be able to draw to the edge, like any other flush touchscreen, (besides the Pro/Diamond series.) I am holding my Touch in my hand and, doing nothing special at all, using very light pressure, my big thumb makes a line to the edge, with only a 1mm gap. With a tiny bit more pressure, it makes a solid line to the border.

Anyways, all I was saying is this is no where near comparable to a Ferrari, in any sort of rationalization/comparison/model/analogy. This is more like a Honda Civic with a bigger motor, with some LCD screens in the back seats, and some shiny chrome slapped on the side and muffler tip. (If you want to use a car analogy, that is.)
