I'll make up a quote on wood stylus for you guys, and some pics - but it will be next week.
In the meantime - a quick 'emergency' stylus is a plastic coffee stirrer with a toothpick in it - bend the end in half and it actually fits the slot quite nicely!
Slick, high tech device and we have to resort to this!!

@#&*ing Nokia. 
Sadly, I LOVE the unique triangular shape because it doesn't roll away.. but it tasks us with finding a proper replacement.
Thanks, btw, on that project to make a wood Stylus. You should totally start selling them as a third party generic wooden stylus.
I'm pretty sure it'd make moola.. and nobody else seems to be doing it or maybe thought of doing such a niche stylus replacement.

Just FYI I lost one stylus the other day so I set out in search of a suitable (usable) substitute. I visited an arts and crafts store. I found they had some cheap wooden rods that should be workable into something. The size that fit the hole is a 3/8" round rod. But that wasn't the most elegant solution I came up with. It was (drumroll please)...........
knitting needles.
Yes I know. Who woulda thunk it. But a #8 knitting needle (which may be available in metal, wood, or even really cool looking transparent plastic) is the right diameter. They should be easy to cut to the right length, and something affixed to the end to make it like the original. And they're also quite cheap.

Well, I just ordered a half-dozen from here; I'm not sure it's even the stylus (stylus assembly? Maybe something silo-related?), and they're 2.3 of 5 stars in Google shopping, but it's 20 bucks including shipping, so if I lose it, it's manageable.
I'll post about them if/when they arrive...

As for replacement--I'd like to know how much I have to pay for ANY replacement, for crying out loud. HELLO! Even my friends want to know and keep asking me, as their source for the tablet knowledge in this group.
