It's easy to put it in backwards, and then you break this little spring that breaks some of the functionality. But it's you know not doesn't break the phone. It just it just depends. Just doesn't work quite as well afterwards. So if you buy one, be careful about how you put in the the stylus. Slightly gushing if you.

Plenty good enough, and if you're somebody who struggles with math and struggles with reading and writing, it can help you with your homework a lot because you can just basically say, "Hey Cortana," and it will, you know, and it will help you do the basic calculations because.

And that's a new feature that you can now developers write apps for the Windows Phone, which hasn't been successful at all for Microsoft. It's been a complete disaster. You know, they bought Nokia for you know for billions, and it's just hasn't hasn't made any inroads. They have about three percent market share. You know, very few people are buying Windows Phone.
