N900 Stylus, what do you use it for?
 
I use the stylus for busy sites.. Ebay..

But its more then just a stylus to me!!
Pointy end, tooth pick, after a meal, life saver sometimes!!
Triangle end, ear bud stick, give my ears a scrap after the shower.
I also pretend the stylus is an antena on an old 90's mobile!

What do use tbe stylus for?

I use it to poke out eyes of Android cultists.

I've not even got N900, I'm a N9 user, but I can understand why everyone still holds them so dear. And a good chance to bash Android users is always worthy

Is there even such a thing?

Sorry to spoil the party with a serious question. I mean, I know an iPhone fan or two who would defend their cult objects to the death but Android? Everyone I know uses them as "just a phone", no one considers them worth writing home about.

I don't know why but the Nexus 4 is often associated with development. Just every single Nexus 4 user I know bought it for building apps. Other than that I guess you are right.

If anyone were a cultist it would be N900 users IMHO not without cause but what other phone cult is designing their own upgrade hardware when the manufacturer dropped the ball?

I miss the screwdriver in my Handspring Visor Deluxe stylus and the pen I had in my Sharp Zaurus replacement stylus.

I love having a stylus for microb and angry birds, and yes sometimes it is the only way to get at an itch in your ear.

You mean, "To break down into parts for disposal or salvage" or, " To discard as worthless or sell to be reused as parts"?
There are better tools for that!

Best suggestion for usage EVER!

I for myself have a small LED attached to it and use it as a laser sword to defeat all the apple/droid attacks...

I confess that I use it to scrape my ears as well, but I am a professional ear scraper. ;) I would not recommend that to others. It is very dangerous.

I automatically pull out the stylus whenever I am going to use the phone. It is just so much easier to pick things with it. Navigating around the device is much less error prone if using the stylus. But, the stylus is absolutely indispensable when:

- Using any of the Easy Debian apps (gimp, OpenOffice.org, etc.)
- Drawing in the mypaint app.
- Letting my kids play with the Sketch app
- Writing Graffiti in any of the GVM (Palm) apps. (The best way to input text on a hand held device bar none!) (And it will make all your iToy and Android friends jealous ;))

You haven't meet don falcone :P

As for ears - guys, I'll never touch your styluses (sic!) again. But I can give you some with eyes impaled on it, for scraping purposes ;)

I pull it out about 5cm and then hope people think it's an antenna. I have to hold the phone upside down during phone calls, but it's worth it.

Seriously, what do you not use it for?
