Oh, hey, I've linked to Stantum's work before on this forum: What actually needs to happen is for you, fms, and quite a few other people in the world to get over the fact that the thing that works best for them, does not necessarily work best for everyone. You may prefer not having to zoom to hit small links. Other people might prefer being able to use their phone with one hand. And it is possible, and pretty simple, to use pinch gestures with one hand while holding the device with that hand. Sure, it's also possible to use a hold a device and manipulate a stylus with one hand, but no where near as easy.

I have. I rarely wear gloves doing the winter unless I'm working with snow (shoveling, snowballs, etc).

No, I have not used an N900. But I never said that it had a crappy touch screen.

I explicitly said that most, but not all resistive touch screens are crappy because I know that good ones exist. The N810 has an excellent one and I would be surprised if the N900's was worse. And just so you understand, I would by far prefer to have an N900 than an iPhone. So please stop assuming that I am calling the N900 a piece of crap.

That is the statement I was originally responding to. My understanding of that statement, given the context in which it was made, was that phones optimized for finger use are "for people who have no education." If that is the case, then I am extremely curious as to why a stylus optimized phone is necessary to perform open-heart surgery. I'm quite sure that all the doctors at my local veterinary clinic would take offense at being called uneducated, just because they use iPhones and Android phones. And don't go claiming that tech illiteracy is what was meant by uneducated and expect me to take that as a well thought out argument.
