That means (typically) stylus use. The iPhone has given this generation of PPC'ers the idea that everything should be finger-friendly instead of stylus based. (Not saying this is bad but, some of the software companies haven't gotten it yet.) There are other programs out there that are WAY more finger friendly for different things. I don't know which would work best for you or your phone. One that I think is pretty good is Pocket CM (contact manager.) It is super finger friendly and integrates threaded messaging. There are lots of skins available online (here too) if you search for them.
It is odd because the sales staff in Verizon said this phone was the best ever....but most could not operate it. And when I visited the store after buying it, they agreed it was impossible to use many of the most basic functions because the buttons were so small. What the hell!?!

I'm not against using the stylus but it is only practical in certain conditions and since the Omnia does not have a stylus holder it is ridiculous to require its use. Especially when there is plenty of real estate for bigger buttons!



Thanks for the tip: I will have a look at Pocket CM.
