Do you use the stylus?

I pretty much found it impossible to not use the stylus on the TP1, Touch, Mogul, and 6700. However, with the combination of TF3D & the WVGA screen, I haven't pulled the stylus out once. In fact, I'm actually able to use the on-screen keyboard for quick messages, which I also found impossible before. I've also noticed that my screen is still in perfect condition, even without a screen protector. I think the use of a stylus is a guaranteed scratch waiting to happen.

So I'm curious, has anyone else abandoned the stylus?

Re: Do you use the stylus?

Brand new out of the box, the stylus felt like it was scratching the screen (but it wasn't), so now I use my finger.

Re: Do you use the stylus?

I will not buy a phone without one since my Treo 600. This is why I was actually happy about the type of touchscreen with the TP2. If you think about it, much more detail can be added to a screen when there's a stylus involved so you can get more exact clicks.

There's really only so much you can do with just your thumb.

That's pretty much my take and I have small hands.

Re: Do you use the stylus?

i hate the idea of a stylus... even on older devices i didn't use it, but it's definitely easier with the tp2. i only use it for programs that pretty much require it like drawing apps and handwriting recognition.

unfortunately my styles did place a small scratch on the screen (using Google maps)... I quickly picked up the Zagg Universal and did a rudimentary job putting it on... Now to get a real screen protector.

And yes, I still use the stylus occasionally.
