Boxwave Styra Ball Point Pen/OEM Stylus

[eldersoul]

Hey guys,
Boxwave makes this really neat oem style stylus that fits in your pda and has a pen in it. I purchased the GSM version for the TP2 but it is a bit short. Other than that it works amazing. Apparently they will create a CDMA version if I can get enough people to do a product request. Will all those interested please submit a request to the provided link. The first is the pen info, the second is the product request link. Thanks guys!

I had a pen/stylus for my XV6700, and it was awesome!! Then they had the collapsable pen for the XV6800. But I would love to have one for my TP2. I'll check the link.

I have used Boxwave Styra's since my original Sony Clie s300. However Seidio also makes pen/stylus replacements (and their innocase and holster is the best around imho too), the difference is they usually make them extend-able, and they are cheaper ($9 vs $13). On styluses that are stock extend-able like the one for my Titan, they added an extra 3rd extension to make it about 1/2" longer which made a big difference in usability. So I prefer the Seidio ones now as such and that's what I used in my Titan. I have large hands (i'm 6'1", my hand is ~20 cm from wrist to tip of middle finger) - and I find the stock stylus on the TP2 to be the smallest in length and diameter of any I've used to date (and as such, the worst). However, since the device is out of the box is so finger friendly I'm sure they didn't figure the stylus was that important anymore, and really it isn't, I hardly even used mine on my Titan once I applied a lot of finger friendly tweaks.

So I'm going to hold out until Seidio lists one, if they don't make one, or if it's not extend-able or cheaper, i'll order a boxwave one for sure.

Just put in the request for a CDMA version of the Styra Ballpoint Pen.
I had one for my 6700 and loved it. Was great to have when needed a pen on short notice; cell phone always with me but pen wasn't: solution: Pen/Stylus combo.

Thanks for your support guys. I hope they produce this soon

Those are awesome because they are a LOT longer than the stock stylus.

I sill have one laying on my kitchen table that I use on my new TP2 when I'm home....

I'd love to have this stylus, but I'm a little worried about the auto retract feature that comes standard with the unit. For example, will the notes pop up when I'm mid call and pull it out?

I used MS for a while, but after the novelty wore off I got sick of it & ended up back to TF3D rather quickly.......

Even the shorter GSM version works fine with this. Doesnt set it off at the wrong time and notes pop up the second you do.

Make sure the box is unchecked.

I've had a pen stlyus for all of my Treo's. I would love to have one for the TP2 and made my request.

Just my opinion, I could be wrong.

I mean would it still work even with this other stylus?
