Just a question out of curiosity, because I almost never use it.

:-)

JCHNanty

Yeah I do.... In Draw something and I find the snote app very useful for shopping list as i am old and my memory is S***te

TheGr81

I use it for Draw Something and that's it

Everyday, it doesn't smudge your screen like a finger...

Omar Days

Tried it first day when I got the note, never used since.

aharmsworth

Continuously use the pen.

I write all my meeting notes and documents - Just went on a trip to Ottawa for 2 days of meetings and fire tests. Took my Note and laptop. Never touched the laptop - did everything on my Note - meeting notes, wrote reports, answered emails, photographs.

I use it often for all sorts. Sometimes just in place of my fat digits.

phredog

I bought mine because of the pen. My fingers are too big. I am 6'3". My hands are huge.

I just got my Note Saturday and really like the pen. I use it pretty much all the time and can't see me stopping...

ifb-online

Sometimes I use it a lot and sometimes not. To be honestly I haven't yet really tacklde the pen-centric Samsung apps, which I intend to do soon. But I do find the pen useful for other things.

If I'm doing a lot of browsing, I'll use the pen so I can click on links without having to zoom in...

Omar Days

Actually, tell a lie, i have used it once and it came in very handy.

I scanned a bank statement with note that i needed to email, and i didnt want them seeing all the figures going in and out of my account, so drawing black lines through the bits of info that i didnt want them to see was very easy. With my previous phone i had to zoom right and blank it with my finger. with the s pen, it was so quick and accurate.

but yeah, that's legitimately the only time i've had a use for the pen.

I have taken a note or five with the stylus, but that was not the main reason I wanted one. Around here it can get down to -18c (-2 Fahrenheit) and I need to wear big gloves. The stylus will allow me to continue using the phone in those temperatures with comfort

I use it every day. I alternate between my finger and pen, most probably using the pen more.

yegon

Never.

kavinci code

rarely, only when i remember of it.

Nightowl67

I think I would use it all the time if it was in the top right corner instead of the bottom like my Treo was. It's not comfortable for me to pull it out of the bottom.

lcsolano

It is indeed. As I told, I almost never use it and when I needed it, most of the time I touched the back button

Rarely also I have a case and I can't get the pen out.

JoshShepherd

Only ever use it to take screen shots and to play with on S Memo.

ifb-online

Used the pen only last night to take everyone's orders before phoning the Chinese takeaway

An annoying thing with s-Note though is that if the phone goes to sleep an unsaved note gets lost!

Got so frustrated I tossed mine out. Some days it works, but most of the time it detects taps 3 cm above the display.

GiggityGiggity

I use mine every single day. I'd be lost without it.

banko

and me

t sport 1978

As of now I have something like 200 notes, all drawn and done with the S Pen... So yes I do!

Mavis Cruet

I use mine a lot .. especially for messaging on a sliding keyboard, it's much easier and more precise than my finger. I also use it for Draw Something and Wordfeud, and occasionally for notes, but I often just jot those down on a bit of paper.
I would miss it if I swopped to a phone without it.

mlk2

I used to but my pen makes these ugly "tracks" in the protective screen so I cant use it anymore.

Howard Hopkinson

I use my s-pen quite a lot and find it extremely useful for taking notes and as another poster said, it's also very handy for navigating websites that have mouse over menus etc.

fairycorpse

All my classes are online except one, I use it ti take notes in that one class. Then again when I'm using Smemo to edit pictures. And to write long emails, for me its faster.

Pcrat

i use it to jot down notes, its easier to explain notes to myself when i write it rather than trying to type and make mistakes and forget what i was trying to type lol. but i dont use it for every day use taping on icons or nothing, nooo

ebusinesstutor

I don't use it as much as I thought I would because it doesn't work with more than the few apps that came with it.

I use Out of Milk as my grocery list and SpringPad for notes and would love to use the spen on these, but it won't work.

edlps

always every day in s note, i must have 200 notes on my note

bluenova

No, because every time I reboot the phone the s-pen reverts to right-handed mode (I'm left-handed) and I can't be bothered to change it back to left-handed in settings every time I want to use it. Hopefully JB will fix it.

aidjek

Use in extra cause when need to write anything

irieone

Im useing my s pen right now to Post this. I love the write to text feature!

irieone

l am a Lefty also and mine never switches back to right handed

dorrien12

What app did you use to scan on a note?

bluenova

Really? The option will still say left-handed after a reboot but if you turn on 'Hovering pen icon' you see it's setup for a right-handed when you try and hover. So in order to correct I have to change it to right-handed then back to left. Can you try and see?

ScandaLeX

This S-Pen has become an extension of my hand. I don't do anything on my phone without it except for the occasional button presses that require a finger.

It's completely natural for me because I'm one who never wished the stylus into oblivion. There was a time when stylus was king until S Jobs decided capacitive touch screens would be the wave of the future.

I'm delighted Samsung made it a come back in the form of the S-Pen. Sure some may never use it but there's a lot like me who embrace it's brilliance.

I use mine all the time. I HATE the touch screen keyboard - I find just handwriting much faster and the recognition is fabulous. It's the reason I keep the Note and the reason I am considering getting a larger one as well!

greggstroud

Thinking about getting this tablet as I'm getting an android phone, and I'm replacing my ipad 2. I'm thnking ill never use the s pen tho. Is it still worth getting if I don't?

bluenova

From someone who rarely uses the S-Pen I'd say yes it's worth it. I'm so used to the screen real-estate now that using my wife's Galaxy SII is painful.

Vipfreak

Only for Screen shots. If there was a less cumbersome note widget where I could quickly write down stuff I'd probably use it much more.

apparently I'm the odd Person who actually uses the stylus frequently. My only issue is the random capital letter that pops up while writting.

bluenova

Why for screen-shots? Just swipe your hand across the screen.

Are there any answers here for you ?

irieone

I tryed this and mine is still set for left handed even after reboot. It never changes

Vipfreak

Are you pulling my leg... ? That doesn't do anything for me.

Howard Hopkinson

The way I use my hand to take screen shots is I place the edge of my right hand on the right hand edge of the screen and simply swipe it to the left. It works every time without fail.

ScandaLeX

How are you positioning your hand? The position should be like a karate chop from edge to edge.
