I am looking forward to trying it out to sketch and draw (I do design work), however, for those that do not design, what do you use it for? Why would you pull it out to take notes rather than just typing? Is it realistic to pull it out to hover over links when surfing the web. Just curious how Note2 users are using the stylus.

Thanks.

I use the stylus to mark up photos of documents and point out things. Could never do that well with an iPhone.

I haven't used the stylus that much but I'm still learning the phone and messing with the features and settings.

The little time I have used it, I ended up just using it instead of my finger altogether. Felt natural and easy to navigate with. Except for when I try to hit the back button and nothing happens.. :rolleyes: There are ways around that though.
