Anyone got one - any good?
Ma Nokia Brick has finally succumbed to years of abuse, ordered a 5800 on contract last night.
Not a fan of this touch screen malarkey - and what the fuck are they gay styluses like? The kind of thing the people with manbags would appreciate no doubt.
see you had problems working out a plural for stylus 
close, but no cigar
touchscreen is the future mate.
Edited for ya Dave. I would like to take this opportunity to call you a peni
Spookily enough, not 5 minutes after doing this thread, two lads from the warehouse came in the office with the same type of phone.
They look alright, will not use the gay pen though, that's just wrong

Thought control is the future, just a bit further away!
"Plural controversy
There exists minor controversy about the correct pluralization of "stylus". The form "styli" or even "stylii" has become acceptable, even among major American manufacturers of styluses and online dictionaries, based on the assertion that it is a direct loanword from Latin. However, "stylus" is in fact an English word based on the Latin word "stilus", and is more appropriately pluralized in English as "styluses". Use of "stylii" is considered incorrect, as it is based on the nonexistent Latin word "stylius"." http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stylus
I know wikipedia is often wrong, but this does seem quite likely.

You've just ruined a fine metonymic adage. I hope you are proud Fradders.
SHUG ...is this a GOOD time to remind you that you was sending me a little present for all my troubles recently.
PS the box holding your TAPES that you had scribbled CELTIC and UNITED got demolished when it fell off my WARDROBE.The landfill site can be viewed on GOOGLE EARTH.
I love gadgets. My laptop, camera and mobile phone are all touch screen. I'm getting a new iPod soon and that will be touch screen too. As I no longer have stupidly long nails, a stylus is essential.
It's the future Shug, don't be afraid of looking a jessie.

Proud? I'm here, I'm queer, I like beer, I hunt deer, GET FUCKING USED TO IT!!
my contract is about to end with my Nokia N95 8GB. I'm going back to the most basic phone I can find after realising i've been wasting £25 a month on something where I don't use 90% of its functions!
So if anyone wants an N95 8GB towards the end of the year it'll be on ebay ...

Yes, I got mine about 2 weeks ago - still getting the hang of it, but it's good. Have big hands, so I'm always looking for a phone with decent sized keys - the touchscreen ones are good that way. Have used the handwriting bit a few times & it works well, but I find i'm using the stylus & full screen qwerty most often for texting - i can find my way around that easily. Easy interface for uploading your tracks from the laptop too - now I have EGG as my message alert & Temptation for the phone (all crystal-clear - thanks to £50).
Constantly worried i'll drop the fecker tho', I think it'll break easy, but for €30 i'm not complaining
(headphones are a bit naff too - but for once nokia have used a standard jack, so i've just added my normal headphones)
