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 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.

So any updates on this? I'm looking for a ballpoint stylus for my Sprint Touch Pro 2 that fits without sticking out on the end (like the ebay ones reportedly do). I went the post office yesterday and forgot to bring a pen (my post office is really crappy, no pens in sight) and I was swearing to myself.

No updates, have been doing searches on amazon and google. emailed Boxwave about wanting them to make one.

Sorry it's been a while, how did these pens work out for those of you who ordered? Did they stick out the end or not?

I bought a 3x set from ebay back in December for like $7. They fit perfectly.

Ever since the 6700 it has been an accessory that I can't do without. Definitely not for writing essays but totally invaluable when you need to jot something down or your signature.
