Has anyone used.......

[Ms Charli]

Has anyone tried using a stylus with there Droid X. I was just wondering because I was thinking about ordering this: Touch Stylus Pen For Apple iPhone, iPod touch, Touch Screens, Cliq, Droid, Nexus, HD2 - Apple iPod Touch (4th generation)

I know a lot of folks like to use there fingers, but I loved my treo 650(remember them )) and it stylus!!!

I haven't. I've never really cared for using a stylus though either.

Yeah I just as soon use my finger but whatever way you prefer I say go for it, I mean it should work ..... just not my preference way

I tried a stylus with same description when I had my original droid...I had a screen protector on it....and that may have been why ..but it didn't work well at all...maybe I was just unlucky...but just thought I would let you know.

Then you'd have to carry a stylus around in your pocket and pull it out every time you wanted to use the phone. The Palms and some of the older WinMo devices had a slot that the stylus rode in on the device, but I still was always loosing mine. Fingers are best. You can get used to anything if you use it long enough.

I think its pointless to use a stylus on the X. The phone is really finger friendly.

Haha! I was wondering the same thing...where is the OP going to keep the stylus?

I made a custom stylus using a fat knitting needle. I filed and polished the tip so it is more ball like. I use velcro to keep it with the N1. It comes in very handy when surfing web sites. so I don't have to blow up the page just to fit my finger to some tiny button or other.
Another mod I made was to dremel out the speaker hole for more volume.

I read somewhere about a glove mod for this purpose. Sewing conductive foam into the tip of the finger of a glove and pulling a bit of it through a slit to the outside supposedly will let you use your phone with gloves on. Has anyone tried this?

Isotoner has gloves with conductive tips already sewn in for women...don't know if they have em for guys.

Then that broke, so they sent me another:
*Droid*
Then that broke, so they sent me a:
*Droid 2*
But that broke too, so they sent me a:
*Droid X*
Shocker, it broke, so they sent me another:
*Droid X*
I've ran the gambit

Sounds like you're on your way to a free HAL 9000

Never tried it, though I used to love using a stylus as well. In fact I still use one on the DS. My old iPod Touch got me used to finger navigation, though, and I don't know if I could ever go back on my Droid X
