Seems to me a soft stylus is more likely to imbed a bit of gritty dust,
which can certainly scratch the screen.
I'm just sayin...

Oh that reminds me. That glue-gun glue is hot, especially on more sensitive body parts.

General question, how important isit that the replacement be identical to the original i.e part metal part plastic as opposed to the replacement made entirely of plastic? Will the removal of nokia name (and replacement with say n8x0) be too upsetting to same nokia fan boys out there?

Well, first, I'm pretty sure the original is all plastic... as for the two-tone look, I suppose it's not necessary, but it sure looks nice with the silver end showing when it's in the slot.

no the top part is actually metal, I know for sure. The two tone is possible but it wouldn't last very long in typical usage - all those ins and outs .
Also anybody out there with a badly broken N800 or N810 they don't need any more? I need to borrow the back part of the case (the one that has the stylus slot in it). Will return (possibly with a few extra styli) in a month or so or will buy it if not too expensive.

I have mailed Nokia online sales - based in Belgium I think - about these packs.
If I get a response I shall update the thread.
"In our service we do not sell accessories for the N800 any longer. We are sorry not being able to assist you."
So that seems to be that.

After I googled the part number (thanks, deeteroderdas!), I noticed it was the same given at cellphone-repair-shop, who have a picture, but want $14. It was discussed earlier this thread, I think, but they've got definitely the correct item under that part number. So, supposing eSCstores comes through alright, and the $2 styluses are of respectable quality, it seems we may have a solution to this recurring problem.
Well, I know the part number now (as I should have before), so I may look around some more... some asian place has to have a bundle of these in their warehouse.

Maybe, but some of us won't be making quite the same bulk purchases of hot glue, epoxy, and refrigerated WD-40....
