One of the reasons for having the pulley menus the way they are is the idea that they can be used without looking at the screen. The idea is that after a while, you remember what number the option you want to use is at, so you can pull the menu to your desired choice by feel only, even with the phone in your pocket. Is this something you ever do?

Note: This poll, as well as its answers is marked wiki. That prevents polls and poll answers from affecting karma.

not possible, too much freezing and unresponsiveness. always need to check.

No, I've noticed that only time it would work is when answering to a call. But then the phone is constantly vibrating and It's impossible to know if I've hit the correct spot.

Yes for deleting e-mail or for alarm. For the other menus I still need to look at the screen.

i still have to look at the phone. part of the problem with "getting used" to the position of the pulley menus and how much to drag the screen is it depends largely on the position you start pulling. because this can be variable to a certain degree, the accuracy of selecting the correct pulley menu item without looking at the screen is not that high in my case.
