I'd have let this endlessly argued point go, but not after an absolute remark like that.

Tell me just how it sucks for mobile usage? Yeah, it would suck if you're driving a car, but you can't, or shouldn't, do much in that situation anyway. Or I can see how maybe it's universally inconvenient to bother with the stylus for very brief uses, like tapping in a phone number or pausing a music player.

But, for example, I walked around Cairo last month using Maemo Mapper (thank you, gnuite!) and the stylus was not an issue at all. OTOH, I don't think I could have accurately managed the tap-and-holds on the Points-of-Interest icons without a whole lot of zooming in and then back out if I had been restricted to using my fingers.

If Nokia took away the convenience of the stylus holder, then dealing with the stylus would suck for mobile usage.
