I need a new stylus but live in the UK, and cannot find anywhere that sells a sharp original - what are the alternatives - does the Tungsten work - what about the Belkin models - any of those fit?
Any help is most appreciated !! |

Any help is most appreciated !!  You can always have a look on Brando's website, I've purchased a 3-in-1 stylus there for the C3000, they do ship worldwide in a week or so (I've no interests in that particular shop, I'm just a long time satisfied customer). Didn't really try any other stylus than this 3-in-1 and the stock Sharp one, but the 3-in-1 pentopia for Tungsten T is slightly to big to fit in the 3000 (I'd be afraid to get it stuck in there, though other Tungsten T styluses might fit better, who knows...). You didn't mention which model of Zaurus you have, btw... Not sure if it matters (maybe they're all identical - the 3000 is my first Zaurus, so I wouldn't know) but it probably can't hurt to tell!

I have searched through .. there is no definitive answer for the UK, Amazon UK do not stock the Stylus like the US, and I have seen nothing definate of an alternative to the Sharp Stylus thats works exactly like the original without modification. btw I have a Z 5500. |

I've found that the original Tungsten T stylus from Palm works very well in my 5x00 Zaurii. It doesn't seem to fit so well in the 860, but I've got my Pentopia for that. |

The original stylus seems to be a wee bit cheap.
I find that I prefer a papermate mechanical pencil. http://www.eofficedirect.com/Product/Detai...ion=&i=PAP30301 It's longer... thicker... and doesn't break -- ever... (well, I don't press hard enough to break it) and it doubles as a writing utensil! ya, ya, it doesn't FIT in the little slot on the pda, but that is not something that I would use anyway (I don't like parts that can/will fall off).
