Found N810 Styli
 
Has anyone found a source for a replacement stylus.

I only had the one in my box and lost it. I am a little bemused (IE Really $%^$ed off) by the fact that Nokia will not sell them separately.

EDIT: Great news Gary has found a store in the US willing to provide the Styli in packs of 3.

The company is Jacks Place, phone# 212-486-7090. A quick Google search of the phone number on the net shows their address to be 235 E 51st St, New York, NY 10022.

So, if you need replacement parts for your Nokia N810, especially the stylus, this appears to be the place.

They're putting my order in and will contact me to arrange for shipping and paying when it arrives.

EDIT AGAIN:

Just to update everyone my styli arrived yesterday. 8 days from order. via Fed Ex.

Pretty much exactly as i would expect. 6 styli in a single press seal plastic bag. Excessively well packed in a large box full of shredded news print.

The invoice quoted at $5 per stylus plus 10 bucks shipping and tax.

I am very happy.

Re: Lost N810 Stylus
 
so you lost two of them? the extra in the box and the one inside the tablet?

HumanPenguin 2008-03-05 21:04

Re: Lost N810 Stylus
 
I never had the extra in the box.

The only indication that there should be one is a few post on here but defiantly only the one in my box.

- i have four - two came with each of my two n800s... but that doesn't help, does it? (n810 stylus is different from n800 stylus, right?)

- perhaps other n810 owners can chime in whether or not two are included in the box?

Two are included.. Or at least I got 2 in my box.

brecklundin 2008-03-06 05:47

Re: Lost N810 Stylus
 
well, darn, that really stinks if ya dint get both of them. How long ago did you buy it? If it wasn't that long ago and you didn't register it, call and tell them there was only one in the box. I mean it's not impossible to imagine they missed a box.

Very recent from lets talk. Ill give them a call and complain.

HumanPenguin 2008-03-06 18:17

Re: Lost N810 Stylus
 
Lets talk would require me to send the device back and get it swapped as they do not have spares around. Although they are happy to do that. I am going to have issues finding all the packaging etc now.

What You Can Accessorise It With!

Bluetooth headsets (mono)

Mobile charger DC-4

FM transmitter
Stereo headphones
Extra Stylus pack
Sadly I can't see any evidence on their site that they actually have any stylus packs, but I guess someone must think they exist.

Re: Lost N810 Stylus
 
If anyone has any ideas on how to aquire a replacement stylas Id be greatful.

Currently I am using a multifuntion pen. but not having it clip into the device is annoying.

If anyone has contacts in Nokia who can ship me a few spares for a price Id be more then happy to send them the price of a beer or two for there trouble. Hech if you live in GA ill buy you lunch.

There is a german online shop carrying all kinds of replacement parts for the N800
At least if you are living in Europe or another place to which the shipping is not too expensive this might be an option.

e.g.

hes looking for one that is or works with n810.

i found this http://search.ebay.com/search/search...&fsop=1&fsoo=1

im not sure what the measurements are for the n810 stylus but some of them look simililar.

krisse 2008-03-20 19:16

Re: Lost N810 Stylus
 
They are definitely meant to have two in the packet, I've used three tablets (two N800s and an N810) and they all had two styluses in the package.

pelago 2008-03-20 23:27

Re: Lost N810 Stylus
 
It would be great if there were some (possibly third-party) metal styluses for the ITs. The third-party solid metal stylus for my Tapwave Zodiac is a big improvement over the flimsy thing that came with it.

mobiledivide 2008-03-21 00:08

Re: Lost N810 Stylus
 
Truly annoying, perhaps you could try calling the flagship stores in NYC or Chicago and seeing if someone in the brick and mortar could do you a favor.

paps 2008-03-23 03:40

Re: Lost N810 Stylus
 
I was just going to suggest the same thing as mobiledivide, call the flagship stores if you live close to one of them or ask them to ship you one. Since Lets Talk is their official online seller, they should be willing to help you out. I know if I walked into their store and said I was missing something from the box, they'd just hand it to me...

If you still have the box, maybe you want to double-check on the missing stylus. When I opened my box, I couldn't find my extra stylus either and started getting annoyed. Then I noticed the little ditch above the spot where the tablet was sitting. It's where they pack the headphones, but since I wasn't using them, I didn't bother to take them out. Underneath the headphones was where my extra stylus was sitting, so I'm assuming if you didn't check close enough it might be there.

dfinch 2008-03-26 01:25

Re: Lost N810 Stylus
 
Two came in my box - bought early Jan.
I would actually love a metal body version with plastic tip of course. It wouldn't be too hard to machine one out of stainless steel but low volume cost would be high. I like the feel of the Palm TX srylus.

brecklundin 2008-03-28 04:31

Re: Lost N810 Stylus
 
I actually prefer the Avery Triple Click to any stylus around. I have RA which affects my hands, among other insignificant body parts, and the fat pen style implement is the perfect solution for me. They cost around $9-$10 at Longs Drug Store.

That said, often I don't have a pen within reach and the standard stylus saves the day. But I find I carry the pen around everywhere as it's a mechanical pencil, gel pen and a nice stylus.

dfcamara 2008-03-30 17:19

Re: Lost N810 Stylus
 
My N810 didn't come with the extra stylus too. I didn't lose the one I get yet, but I'm really concerned that it's not available separately. A substitute stylus that won't fit in the N810 slot is not an option, IMHO.

I'm wondering how could I make one myself...

hax 2008-04-01 09:29

Re: Lost N810 Stylus
 
I'm in the same boat as others here. I lost my n810 stylus a week ago and haven't found any sort of replacement after searching Amazon, EBay, the Nokia n810 accessories page, etc.

Any ideas? If anyone wants to sell me their spare stylus, PM me. Otherwise I may have to buy a new n810, remove the spare stylus, and try to resell everything else on Ebay. Boo! Nokia should really get on the ball and offer replacement styli.

Maximos 2008-04-02 00:52

Re: Lost N810 Stylus
 
hax, that seems like an AWFUL hassle for just a stylus. Surely, you can just use something else?

hax 2008-04-02 07:30

Re: Lost N810 Stylus
 
I've been searching for hours and finally found 3-packs of n810 stylii for sale here for 10 Euros. Sadly, their web order form only offers shipping to Europe. But I called just now and the guy spoke English and said that he can probably ship to the US with a phone order, but I need to call back in an hour when his colleague Andreas is around. Wish me luck!

HumanPenguin 2008-04-04 00:34

Re: Lost N810 Stylus
 
Thanks hax thats great. I could not find anything when i searched and I am not allone from the looks of it. But if one place is selling it is anly a matter of time.

As for the guy who commented on the stanless steel stylus. I had a TX as well and got the steel stylas with a built in pen. Id be happy to pay a premiunm if someone machined a few hundred and sold them here.

NP thanks for trying. Until I can get a spare to fit into the tablet I am using one of the multi function pens with a stylus.

Re: Lost N810 Stylus
 
Nokia has managed to do a lot of things, but in more than a year they haven't been able to meet the challenge of replacing customer styluses. Hey, Mac fans! When you need one can you buy a stylus from Apple? Hey Microsoft! Got styluses for your customers?

Nokia is a unique company.

Re: Lost N810 Stylus
 
I am happy to report that I just received a new replacement stylus for my n810, but it was more of a pain (and more expensive) than I would have liked. Here are the details:
  • I posted previously on this thread that I found them available at handyersatzteilshop.de. Their web site didn't let me ship to the US, so I ordered by phone. I stayed up until midnight in California, which is 9AM there, and ordered from Andreas. I ordered on April 3.
  • The cost was 8.32 Euros plus 5.99 for shipping. This is about $23 total. I don't know why the cost wasn't 9.90 as listed on the page. Maybe because I didn't have to pay GST.
  • They weren't very communicative. I never got an order confirmation email, and my email 9 days after the order asking if it had been processed/shipped was ignored. But I called them again later and they confirmed that it had shipped.
  • I received the order today (4/19), so it took 16 days total.
  • I can't read German, but the picture on the item description page shows 3 stylii. In fact, I only received one. A Google translation says "Content: 1 piece", so I guess that is the right number. Still, I wish they would change the misleading photo.
  • The stylus is original (Nokia branded) and works perfectly in my device.

So while things weren't perfect, I'm at least happy to have a working stylus now. And I'm going to be very careful not to lose this one! I contacted many US stylus retailers asking them to stock N810 stylii, but none agreed to do so. A couple mentioned that dealing with Nokia is a pain, especially if you are not a phone retailer. I do love the n810, so I hope the stylus availability picture improves. Nokia needs to make these more available in the US, and they should try to at least standardize on one stylus form factor for their future internet tablets. I wish they would use the same form factor as the Palm Pilot, as I can pick those up cheaply at numerous stores in my area.

Its worth noting that this place also seems to stock other spare parts for the N810. Here is a page of them including display, keyboard, top button bar and side buttons. http://www.handyersatzteilshop.de/r_...kia_N810_.html

When I visited this page, I was confused by the references to two separate products in the same description. The generic OmniPen Pro has plastic tylus tip or ballpoint, laser pointer and LED pen light. With all those functions, it's available in only one form factor.

Apparently Boxwave offers different versions of a ballpoint-pen-or-stylus called the Styra, which is engineered to replace the stylus of specific devices.

If you follow a different navigation tree at the site, you'll see that you can pick a Styra that fits your device. Except that there doesn't seem to be one for either the N810 or the N800.

Boxwave also seems to offer plain old replacement styluses, but again, not for the N810 or N800. The specificity of the ad copy that says it is "precision designed to the exact measurements of the original stylus" must be boilerplate used for all their styluses.

Maybe that's why you can't add the Styra or replacement styluse to your shopping cart from the N810 accessories page.

Re: Lost N810 Stylus
 
Perhaps availability of replacement styluses should be added as one of the requested features of the N900.

done. :)





here's some more text I had to add to this message so that this message would be added to the thread. you may safely ignore this text, unless you're the automaton that's demanding I type in longer answers (in which case, you should carefully count all of these characters and allow my message to be posted). thanks. some assembly required. california mileage will be lower. batteries not included. do not take if you have a history of heart disease. see a physician before starting any exercise regimen.

I've been looking for a replacement stylus for awhile....just found this ebay auction. I purchased it but have not received it yet. Leather case + stylus for $20 including shipping. If it is junk or I don't receive it, I'll repost.

ebay item: 270236240772
Seller: ishop-express

I'm not affiliated in anyway...

Not to hijack, but since it came up, this is a really cool device, but that price point is usurous. I like BoxWave, mostly for their spiffy retractable N800 charge/data USB cables, but I wouldn't buy that stylus/pointer/pen/light there. If you go to Deal Extreme you can find what I believe to be the exact item for $3.79.

Gads, I should go into the import-export business.
