Hi, there,

I need a replacement stylus (or two).

Can anyone recommend one?

one poster recommended at pdapanache this one: Mid-size aluminum industrial stylus
Part No.: MSTYLI
Price: $9.00

are there standard sizes? I want one that fits inside the case when I close it.

I doubt you would find one that fits inside the case, there are no standard sizes.
There are plenty of third-party stilii out there for PDAs, etc.

Nokia do provide replacement stilii, see http://direct.nokia.com/Product.aspx?model=Stylus

The 770 stylus is unique--similar to that of the Apple Newton, but much smaller. Some reviews have panned the stylus, but IMNSHO, I consider them fools. That said, finding a stylus to fit into the 770 slot will be near impossible!

Infidel! Fatwah!

Nothing is similar to the Newton!

With that out of the way, the best stylus, for me, is a simple Bic throwaway automatic pencil, with the pencil lead not sticking out, obviously. I have several lying around the house on strategically chosen spots.

...the details of an automatic pencil or other "multifunction" device (like pencil+pen+whatever+stylus). I would invariably write with the wrong tip.

BTW, I owned a Newton (well, it belonged to the University). There was a promotion at some point and I was sent a stylus engraved with my name. I need to dig that thing up since I got to keep the stylus, but I had to turn the Newton back in. About all I ever used the Newt for was to show friends how hilariously it mangled handwriting recognition.
