For those of your who keep trying to convince everyone else that the stylus is the magnet...
How many of you have ever rubbed a magnet against another piece of metel?
With any metel that has iron in it, it will become magnetized...
So, yes your stylus is magnetic however, there is still a little magnet inside that does get knocked out of wack...

And yes mine did... In fact the little bugger fell out. I happened to catch it.
Low and behold it was a little magnet.

Sprint replaced it quickly and I was told that this has been happening. Something about cheap glue?

The stylus sticks to any metal surface I put it on. I actually LOL'd at kyrumo's post because it was the first time I ever tried. Hahaha.

Perhaps there's a piece of metal inside the stylus slot that allows the magnet to stick, and that got loose. It would make no sense for there to be a magnet inside the stylus slot because metal fragments getting stuck inside would block the stylus forever!

Didn't think of that...
I guess the little piece of metal would get maganetized as well...
I did see if it would stick on my refridgerator... it did...

The two stylus pens DO stick together, I'm glad someone else found out about this too! The stylus will also stay put if you place it near the ear piece. Anyway, I too have the same exact problem where one day the stylus just feels extremely LOOSE. I can just tap out the stylus or sometimes it would poke out.

What is this tiny magnet that everyone is talking about? Can you post pictures of this? I'm very annoyed, I JUST got the phone for less than a month... I also have a post on sprintusers.com, and will update you guys if I get an answer!

thanks
