Fair do's. Here is a stylus, 99p delivered from a UK seller:

The only thing with a phone that ain't designed for a stylus, is you will have it hanging around all the time as an extra (they slot neatly and discreetly away within the phone when they're built for them).

Personally, I'd recommend you have a stab at just getting to grips with using your fingers, or alternatively, throw Android onto it and use a shell such SPB Home or HTC Sense if you can get a ROM with it.

Just go with the stylus then, but deffo try and get used to using your fingers, you should grasp it over time.

iPhones are crap, a simple thing called a stylus does not work on them frown

You can't use a regular stylus, because iPhones use capacitive screens, not resistive. The ability to effectively use anything as a stylus (and therefore, accuracy), is considered one of the main pro's of resistive touchscreens (there are pro's and cons on both sides though).

However, there are specially designed styluses available for most capacitive screens, that stylus above should probably work with it. It does seem to a be a technical limitation that they cannot attain the pinpoint accuracy of resistive styluses, but they achieve the same result, accuracy aside.

The headphones are the aerial for the radio, even some of the cheaper Samsungs have them inbuilt but for some reason not the Wave.
Sorry doc my aplogies, you are right stylus does work, but has to be special one.
