hello everybody.

i'm planing on purchasing a herald device anytime soon. before doing so i was wondering about the resistance of the screen. how do you guys carry your device around? i'm the type of guy who simply slides it into my jeans pocket. i was wondering if this might be a problem with such a big screen. (i currently own a nokia N70... which btw is so slow i didn't know that it was possible to build such a slow device in the 21st century... anyway...) obviously i haven't had any screen resistance problem with my N70 due to the solid screen.
i currently alos allways place a self-adhesive clear screen over my screen so it doens't get scratched, and replace it from time to time... how do you handle scratch issues?

hopefully you guys can shed some light on the issues above. thanks a lot in advance.

ohh and while i'm at it... i was hoping to use the herald with the least possible stylus interaction (allready checked the phone pad thread for one handed sms .. :-) is it possible to use most core functions for daily business (calendar entries, phone calls, sms writing, etc) without having to use the stylus (how painful is it?) and or doing so one handedly?

Not sure exactly what you mean by :screen resistance", but if you're asking does the screen scratch easily, the answer is no. I never use a case and always carry in my pockets or in my hand I've yet to scratch it.

And as far as using the stylus, I never have to use it. The touch screen is good enough where unless you are editing a large spreadsheet or something really small and tedious, you'll probably never need to use it

I always carry it in my jeans pocket without a problem yet. Also, I use a Brando Screenprotector (http://shop.brando.com.hk/screenprotector.php) to protect my display from scratches.
