I've never fancied using the stylus that came with the phone, it looks like it would end up scratching the screen.
I've been using my fingers but find it difficult on some websites with small print(and yeah i know i can enlarge print, but i like to see full screen) - so sometimes i've used the rubber end of a pencil and even a q-tip (clean of course)
I've been looking at the "rubber tip" stylus pens made for the iphone but i was wondering what you guys use or would recommend 😊
I went for the LG Viewty style stlyus as they are telescopic & look quite neat. You can get them on eBay for a couple of quid. Still usually end up using my finger though!!
I use the "plectrum" stylus that came with my N97 NAM.
I experimented with the stylus that came with my Nokia N800 Internet Tablets and found that there's something about the N97 screen being so small & the depth perception/contrast (that stylus is black) & the stylus length & where you hold it, that I tended to misjudge the screen location and tap in the wrong place.
I know it sounds funny, but I think Nokia had the right idea with the stubby little plectrum. Knowing Nokia they probably spent more hours and money on the stylus choice than they did on some of the other features (right, Dave?).
I've never felt the need for a stylus, I just use my giant fat fingers..if there's a link that's too small to hit i just double tap to zoom and then click it, you're not zoomed in when you load the next page.
Seem to use the side of my mail on index finger and thumb. Would have like a stylus. Sometimes its just easier with one, my whole finger sometimes click on things on web pages so i then have to wait till its loaded to go back as it takes just as long pressing to get menu and then back, selecting page arrgghhh!! Too long!!
I use the stylus that came with the phone. Very un-impressed with the fact that Nokia never designed it so it would slot into the phone somewhere.
I was wondering if anybody found a case for their N97 that held the stylus so it dont hang about loose in my pocket? (Got it hanging from the phone like a shitty little charm thing!)

Nice tip. Never thought of that.
I carry my N97 stylus on my car keychain, so if I have that around, I use that. I'm sure that should be fine... shouldn't do the screen any harm otherwise Nokia wouldn't have included it.
If I don't have my car keys to hand I use pretty much anything with a sharp but rubbery tip.
99% of the time I use my fingers, but if I fancy using a stylus I use the one that I bought for my NintendoDS. It extends another 1 1/2 inches so it fits in my hand like a pen. It's great for doing doodles in Paint Pad.
thanks for all your replies, i've ordered a stylus that's more pen sized with a rubber tip 😊
