It's a vague question, but would any lefties care to share their experiences / solutions?

When I use the small Nokia stylus, it's not a big problem to "palm" it and use my thumb to press the hard buttons.

I have a combo pen/stylus I got at Frye's. I've actually used the stylus to manipulate the buttons. You can also fairly easily slide your thumb up and press buttons.

I wouldn't worry too much about it. I'm sure that as a lefty you've learned, as we all have, how to accomodate a righty world.

For instance, it's almost impossible for me to use a mouse with my right hand....
