That's reassuring. I am apprehensive about having other people handle it and I know I will be repeatedly be asked by others to use it. In such cases, I am worried and I am not an asshole who wouldn't let anyone else touch it. I am a very cautious individual, so I have no worries about damaging it by my own hands.

Although I have resolved my issues, what I basically wanted to know is if it's a bad idea to connect the device to the computer (for whatever reason), when there is no need to recharge the battery. With other electronic devices, it is usually a good idea only to charge it when it is drained; so, since the battery automatically recharges when it is connected to the computer, I was asking whether I should avoid repeatedly plugging in/unplugging the device when the device is not low on battery life.

Without the stylus, functions like highlighting, notes, and drawing will be a lot less effective if they work at all. I use the stylus from my old Palm Tungsten with my 650 and it works fine. Try using another stylus - check your local office-supply store - and see if that helps.

I suppose I was expecting something with pen-like efficiency, when composing my own notes. But if the other models without a stylus would have compromised annotative abilities, I guess I should stick with this one.
Thanks for the reply.
