I use my thumbnail for clicking on tiny links (ie the page numbers at the bottom of threads on forums like these). I can do it generally with a fingertip splodge but i get it everytime with the nail. It's not massively long, within the limits of what you'd consider a normal length for a guy. Thinking about it, I've hardly used the stylus at all since gettingthis replacement n900 about 2 months ago..
