In case it helps, Nokia Ireland sells a pack of 3 for €12.09 incl delivery. On eBay the price is £15 each!
The snag is that both the delivery and card billing addresses have to be in Ireland despite the fact that the items are shipped from Belgium. Like so many things nokia it makes no sense.
Quite why Nokia's procedures have to be so convoluted is anyone's guess but the direct link is
http://direct.nokia.com/Product.aspx?model=StylusN800
Trying to find this page by any other route is very difficult.

There are legal implications to getting your language right in many cases as well--particularly if something lands you in court of failure to provide customers with satisfaction. As The King and I put it so well, "Mean what you say, say what you mean." Language is important--especially if you intend to have offices and do business in several countries.
You have to consider the context. Enhancement as in additional stylii beyond what's normally included in the sales pack. Another descriptor could have been used, but this is typical Finnglish, and should be fairly obvious as to intent.
I'm just stressing why the 'typical Finnish translation' faux paux excuse isn't very convincing. :P

Oddly, I think Nokia is unique in its cluelessness with regard to styluses. For example, I have a Centro from Sprint. The site has a pack with three styluses available on its site.
This is really a pretty extraordinary lapse on Nokia's part. I haven't yet seen a reasonable explanation for its behavior, or non-behavior.
I guess Nokia is lucky I'm not an employee of theirs, since I would make this a constant question whenever I spoke to anyone in management.
Maybe, in all the commentary, I've missed a good explanation somewhere. If there is one, it should be added to the Wiki.

Well....inevitably I too have lost the stylus and my spare is thousands of miles away. Anyone know where to find one in Europe (be)?

A guy on craigslist gave me one. Just sent it to me for free. That was very cool.
Oak replacement styluses for the tablets would be very cool! How much would (ahem, wood) I have to pay for one?
