touchscreen

I'm starting my first project that runs on a 7 inch touch screen running Windows CE 6.0 (and NETCF 3.5).

The touch screen doesn't respond to touch too well when I use my finger. The only way for me to navigate around is by using a stylus (or similar).

Since I've never worked with Windows CE or a resistive touch screen, I'm not sure if I should expect to be able to use my finger or if the stylus method is, essentially, the only way to effectively navigate around. - or, maybe, I have a touch screen that simply isn't that good.

If you have experience with WinCE running on a touch screen, do you find that a stylus is the only way to go?
