Zaurus 5500 Accessories?
« on: March 21, 2004, 08:59:12 pm »
Anyone know of anyplace to buy accessories for the 5500 on-line for good prices?

I just bought a 5500 on ebay and the stylus broke.  I superglued it, but would like to get a couple spares.  Along with some screen protectors and maybe a case.

Thanks,[size=18][/size]

I use a belkin.com screen protector on my Z that is meant for a compaq ipaq it is a little long but can be cut on a paper cutter right along the belkin.com logo and it fits to a t... I got a new set of styli from compusa.com that were meant for a Toshiba handheld that has a nice telescopic feature and fit the tube of the Z like they were intended for it...

Try the stylus for the Palm Tungsten-T series.  It is metal, retractable, nice fit (protrudes about 1mm, but make it easy to poke, extend, and grab).  Should cost about $15 for a 3 pack at Staples, BestBuy, OfficeDepot, ad nauseum.

I also noticed there is only one connector for a mic/headset?

Is there such a product that is both a mic and a headset that plugs in
the same single connector?

All the ones I see on Amazon have 2 connectors, and if you wanted
to use the headset, you plug that in...and then if you want to use the mic,
you\'d have to switch it.

I doubt I really need the mic, but it might be cool.

Thanks again,

Tungsten T stylus are great for all the Z...the 5x00 works great as is...
C serices also works good, but shaving a 1/4 inch (from  plastic handle....99% is metal). would make them perfect.  Real nice teloscoping design...
