Title: 3 in 1 stylus for Cxx0
Post by: Anonymous on December 19, 2003, 12:54:13 am: Hi everyone, finally I\'m awaiting my 860 to come! Did anyone try the 3 in 1 stylus from Brando, or elsewhere? I find myself in need of a pen sometimes even if I have a PDA with me. Thanks!

A quick point, the pen is ok for occasional/emergency use, but don\'t expect it to become your writing instrument of choice. But then you will have an 860 soon, so you will only need the pen very occasionally right ?

edit: nevermind... I just saw a note at the top of the site saying that you ship to UK and EU.

By the way, Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to all!

Best,

Damn, if only I had read this earlier then I wouldn\'t have accidentially dropped mine on the brick floor last friday...

You get really used to the extra weight - I can\'t believe how light the plastic original stylus feels...

I\'m about to order one...

It\'s a replacement 3-in-1 for the Tungsten T stylus (spring-loaded retractable stylus), which fits perfectly in all Z PDAs. A review can be read at http://www.foxpop.co.uk/Palm/tt_05.htm (http://www.foxpop.co.uk/Palm/tt_05.htm)

I wonder why Pilot (Pentopia) doesnt sell the stylus that Conics has in North America...?! Their website makes no mention of it... must be Asia only.

I\'ve been using a regular Tungsten T stylus in my 5500 & C760 for more than a year and I love it.

I felt it stuck out a enough to keep getting triggered accidently. Depends on how you carry I guess.

Tried cutting the end off with a hot nige, bits better, but now it is really hard to get the stylus out
