"The right tool for the job".  I use the stylus for most games, because
the games I have work best with a stylus, even those that do work with
the 5-Way.  I usually use the 5-Way and keyboard to launch apps, but I
need to use the stylus to use any of ZLauncher's gadgets.

Other apps, it's roughly 50/50.  Using the 5-Way to scroll to and then
select something takes a long time when there are lots of items on the
screen, whereas with the stylus and can just tap where I need to and
move on.

I always use the 5-Way when checking things off in my shopping lists in
ListPro, but I need to use the stylus to open an item to edit its
entry.  Likewise, I use the buttons to move around in DateBk and mark
things done, but it's faster to use the stylus when creating and
editing an appointment.
