Need N800 Stylus
 
I Have Lost My N800 Stylus And They Are Not Available At The Nokia Store Or Online From Nokia. Anyone Have Any Ideas On Getting A Replacement?

Mine came with 2... do you have a second still in the box/packaging?

Nokia should be taken out and shot for letting this problem persist. It has been a frequent topic of messages here for over a year.

In the meantime, I have found that a retracted retractable ballpoint pen works just fine as a stylus, either rightside up or upside down.

But I still have one stylus left, so I haven't tried it that much!

I can't decide which is the most horrible thing Nokia has done -- make styluses hard to get or getting rid of Caps Lock on the virtual keyboards. Probably Caps Lock wins, but only just. I mean, why not get rid of the z key -- people don't use it very often!

???? Shift lock should be available at double-tap on shift, rather than long-tap, but either way is not horribly inconvenient. (I thought.)

Hi - I found the following site for an N800 stylus:

http://www.mobilestunter.com

It is in Dutch I believe, but I was able to set up an account and place an order without too much difficulty - I have ordered two :-)

Another option is always to get a multipen with a stylus tip - it's easyy to find one on ebay.

Re: Need N800 Stylus
 
A multipen that fits exactly into my N800 slot? Sounds unlikely. The convenient thing about the Nokia stylus is that you don't have to think about where you are putting it. I am someone who typically loses a pen quite rapidly. I have only lost one Nokia stylus in a year and three months. It is reasonable that Nokia should make styluses available for a not-too-high cost. It is obvious that people will eventually lose styluses.

That's why they put 2 in the box, lol, You lost both of them already?

i lost one of the two last week. most likely left it at a table somewhere.

ordered a couple of new ones from a webshop:
http://www.mytrendyphone.com/shop/or...800-6681p.html

i see they are not i store right now, and that probably explains the weird mail i got about a difference between database and actual storage :(

still, if they can get hold of more of them im happy. still, nokia is getting me worried as getting hold of a new N800 do not seem easy...

Is there anything like this for the n800? That would awesome.

tso 2008-04-22 13:24

Re: Need N800 Stylus
 
it should probably work fine with the N800. but note that the text says that it fits in organizers, not in the devices themselves.

here is another, similar product:

If you were responding to my message, try subtraction, reading my message. I say that I lost one stylus. How many do you think I have left? Answer: I have one left.

Do you think I am being unreasonable to suppose that I will eventually lose the other stylus? Do you think that it is reasonable for Nokia to stock replacement styluses?

Heh, I did do the subtraction, that's how I figured you still had one left. To further the math/counting, if it took you ~15 months to lose the first stylus, it's safe to assume it would take you close to that (or possibly longer) to lose the second. Hence, I'd say you're probably good to go for at least another 13 months before you'd need to start hunting down a place to find a replacement.

And no, I don't think it unreasonable to expect Nokia to stock replacements, just pointing out that you still have one left. ;)

Re: Need N800 Stylus
 
meh, better to get hold of replacements before the last one gets lost, imo...

Won't you be buying an N900 by then, with different stylii anyway? ;)

tso 2008-04-22 23:55

Re: Need N800 Stylus
 
more like a used n8810 with my "income".

no, i hope to use the n800 until it gives up its ghost...

I view this lack as a reflection of Nokia’s attitude to the platform. Disappointing but very revealing.

Or possibly a MID such as the Gigabyte M528 and say goodbye to Nokia with its half hearted commitment.
