The Samsung Galaxy 2 has only a capacitive Touchscreen. Even with a Sylus not very accurate.

Handrite is an option.

ORLY? as a gadget I am sure it is fantatstic. As a phone? I dont think so. Androids implementation of the 'phone' feature just ****ing blows. Everyone knows if you want a good 'phone' you get a symbian.

Cool story bro, now tell me how I swype a double tab into xterm?

Are you ****ing high? Do you even know what multi-tasking is? Unless of course 'true multi-tasking' as a marketing name for something that isnt actually multitasking.

Good thinking, if only there was somewhere to attach the stylus to the 'phone'

Free as in without financial cost, not a cost that can be easured in privacy.

yeah, good luck with that.

BWAHAHAHAHAHAAAA.


Clearly an android is the best device for you. Its gee-wiz APPZ and gadgetry is ideal for your user level.

Just remember you have given up the most flexible piece of pocket hardware ever made just so you can lol-tweet on your faceblog.

Good luck.

I use SyncSpace with an oStylus and get results good enough to capture my writing legibly and easily.

The whole "it's not accurate with a stylus" is great for those that benefit from one. But an easy to scratch plastic resistive screen as opposed to the glass capacitive screen doesn't equate to an argument for most that benefit from it, nor would miss using it if it were to disappear. Especially with the loss of multi-touch being a problem... lack of apps being the other.

There's a ton of other threads that go back and forth on that one subject; I find it a non-issue since I have Adobe Ideas (iOS), SyncSpace (Android & iOS), Adobe Easel (iOS), Handrite (Android), Sketchbook Pro (iOS & Android) and quite a few other apps as opposed to having to install EasyDebian, then get access to some truly great apps or deal with apps that will not get an update ever again all because a stylus works well with them. Minor point that months after my N900 sell, I don't miss.

It's better than the N900's implementation of a phone stack by miles.

Everyone knows if you want a good 'phone' you get a symbian.
Hmm. Okay... if you say so.

Cool story bro, now tell me how I swype a double tab into xterm?
Cool specific quirk bro.

Already covered before your curse-laden attempt of a post.

The love of stylus' (styluses, stylii?) around here makes me wonder if they're being used for sexual pleasure too. I mean... if you're into that kind of thing, go for it.

Free as in without financial cost, not a cost that can be easured in privacy.
Privacy. Such an antiquated idea.

yeah, good luck with that.
Two words for you... four leaf clover.

Oh wait... that's three words.

BWAHAHAHAHAHAAAA.
MUWHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

I can be evil too!

Just remember you have given up the most flexible piece of pocket hardware ever made just so you can lol-tweet on your faceblog.
Correction. Nokia gave up on the most piece of flexible piece of pocket hardware ever made. Left you and I high and dry. At least there's finally a good Twitter app on the N900. Check out Tweed Suit by mece... it's actually damn nice.

Good luck.
Love the vitriol that ends with a good luck statement. I'm quite sure after we chew out everybody, drill sergeant style, stomp a mudhole in their backsides, call them everything but the son of Jeebus that by stating "Good Luck" it makes it all better.

I'm serious. I know my rainy day just went sunny side with that sentiment. Bless you buddy.

Sorta like a Saab but less sleak? I mean, I know I'm not all that aerodynamic, but why did you have to remind me of that today!? That's my biggest flaw... my lack of aerodynamics man!!

That hurt my feelings. Take it back you big meanie.

It doesn't. N900 does. I'm an Android user and even I won't allow myself to think that it does true multi-tasking.
