I actually purchased these as a Christmas gift for my wife. Being curious to see if the texting fabric worked well I tried them out myself (I hope I didn't stretch them too much as it was tight fit). I was hesitant to purchase because the reviews I previoulsy read stated the fingers were to pointed. In my opinion the pointed tip which only seems to be on the thumb is there by design. This allows for just the tip of the glove to hit which letter you need while texting or emailing on a touch screen device. without this pointed thumb I am sure many wrong letters would be typed. There is a little bit of learning curve to using them accurately. Once you get the hang of it (2 or 3 full text messages) it is just like texting without gloves on, you know typical typing errors and the infamous autocorrect to word you never heard of... All in all a great glove. If I don't get a mens pair for Christmas I will certainly be purchasing another set right after the holidays.
