I did not think that Sony could make a stylus worse than before

[Beavis]

The TH-55 stylus is really pitiful. This thing barely qualifies as a stylus. I got used to the T/TG series stylus, but this one is even smaller!

Back to the old Cross Pen refill stylus for me.

isn't it the same as the nz?

[mdlsimpson]

This is the stylus introduced in the NZ series and was/is used in the NX80/NX73/TJ25/TJ35/UX50. While it has a small collapsible upper section, the barrel part you hold on to is the same size as the stylus in the T615/T665 series. I used a micrometer to check size and they are virtually identically in size where you hold on to the stylus. The stylus is just shorter, and has a collapsible top to fit in the silo ..... and! the stylus on the new Clie's has never fallen out of my unit! I lost a couple when I owned the T615 because the stylus would not stay in!:)

[Beavis]

Really. I wasn't aware that this stylus was used on all of those units. It still sucks though. IMHO

[Mugs]

The stylus definitely needs to be a little "thicker" - I miss my handspring stylii

[joejoe]

The best stylus Sony ever made was its first, for the 300. It had great heft, good diameter, & was designed to never, ever fall out of the silo even if it was half out when the unit was turned over! My friend still uses the 300 & he swears by it. The most amazing thing is its battery life is still spectacular.

But, back to the subject, I agree that the telescoping stylus will take a bit of getting used to.

Good news: it'll never fall out of its silo & get lost. Bad news: you wish it would! ;)

Does the stylus PEGA-ST50 listed in the accessories section at SonyStyle fit? $15 seems like a lot for 2 stylii, but maybe they'll be more hefty than the included stylus.

I purchased that stylus pack at Office Depot and they are the same as the stock stylus

[Palmguru]

Any good 3rd-party stylus that fits this series' silo?

[Tarugo]

Brando sells 3-in-1 pdair brand and this has received good reviews from pda27. Around 18 bucks with shipping.

That looks much better, just what I'm looking for! How is the vendor - have you purchased from them? I'm a little leery about ordering from Hong Kong.

[Tarugo]

He is very good with the orders. No complaint against Brando in any of the sites/forums i have been visiting. You just have to wait a few extra days for his products to come to your door. But they definitely will reach you. If not, he is very good with making things right.

Good Evening-

Copy the kudos to Brando. They are an excellent dealer. Never had any issues. Plus, the packages come from Hong Kong with cool looking postage attached. Sorry, it is a simple pleasure. As they say, simple pleasures for complex minds :).

We UX & NX80/73 users have been suffering with 'The Toothpick' for months & months now.

Welcome to 'The Toothpick Club'! :p

[DfuzionTeK]

This is my first clie, and I would also have to agree that the stylus is abit of a nuissance. It does feel like I'm holding a toothpick at times. Maybe if they could add more weight to it would work out a little bit better. I will be looking for a replacement, so please post anything you believe would be a better alternative as I will do the same.

[SibesRule]

Mine broke this morning. :(

The Fisher Matte Black Bullet Space Pen with clip and stylus is my favorite:

But I also like the Swiss Army pocket knife with a builtin stylus.

[crazy_smeggie]

I just bought two of these:

SonyStyle 3 in 1 Stylus, Mechanical Pencil and Black Ballpoint (http://www.sonystyle.com/is-bin/INTERSHOP.enfinity/eCS/Store/en/-/USD/SY_DisplayProductInformation-Start;sid=HEsEVfEbHpwES7EheBwOXr4UoDKktdcsqeY=?CategoryName=hp_NRSeries_StylusScreen&Dept=hp&TemplateName=item%2fsy_item_f&ProductSKU=PEGAST11)

SMEGGIE :D

[Icthus]

StylusPlus (http://www.stylusplus.com/) has a great selection. I have prdered from them more than once, and have always been happy with them.

[Icthus]

I quite often use my pen (http://www.sanfordcorp.com/sanford/consumer/jhtml/new-product/productdetail.jhtml?attributeId=&nrProductId=SN61231) that is in my pocket. THe top of the cap works just fine. It isn't as fine a point as a real stylus, but works for almost everything I need it for.

[contempt]

Is the PDAir one a floating stylus? I can't tell from the photo.

I really want a floating stylus for this since the one I have for my NX has never scratched the display. And I'm not really a screen protector kind of guy.

[crazy_smeggie]

I have always been a fan of the texture that Sony uses for its Styli. It has almost a mushy feel to it as opposed to other styli I have used that are hard and seem to scratch the screen more.

Styli? Stai Alai? Jai Alai?

It's supposed to do that or you would find yourself buying quite a few replacements. :)
