Hi folks, this is my first post here. I'm considering buying the N96. I'll be using it primarily for reading and annotating .pdfs, some of them scanned .pdfs. I hope to sync my Mendeley file directory to the N96 via Dropbox, and annotate while I read--not sure which app I will use.

Currently I'm using a Kindle DX, which is far too cumbersome to make notes with. So the biggest upside to the Onyx will be the ability to use the stylus. But I also like the feature of capacitive touch, for things like navigating through menus. My question is this: does the capacitive touch cause problems when you're making notes or drawing with the stylus? I'm worried they might give conflicting inputs, and that the dual-touch model might be frustrating to use in this context. Or perhaps there's a way to turn each input on/off independently through the OS?

Thanks in advance for any advice or knowledge.
