Alternative stylus for N900?
 
I accidentally lost the stylus for my N900 :(
Can anyone suggest where I can get something to replace it with (doesn't need to be genuine Nokia OEM, just something suitable to use as a stylus and preferably easy to get without needing to money ordering something online and then even more on shipping)

Any stick will do.

There was time when I used a pen with a gum-end (just like wacom pen but cheaper, simple pen).

Or I can send you my secondary n900's stylus; I never use it anyway...

said it worked very well...had the perfect point.
can't remember who it was though..

Be neat if you could 3D print one! Sure others might be interested.

I was thinking exactly same thing; Any stick will do, but you need the right shape to store it snugly inna da hole-of-storage of the device.

If it doesn't matter if the stylus fits you can buy a NDS stylus.

Incredibly cheap and can be used on any resistive screen. 10 for 1 euro, including shipment. Work very well, I've bought them for my Pandora and sometimes use them on my N900 as well.

I've carved a few nxx0 styli in various forms out of deer and elk antler and I find they work wonderfully, and are more comfortable than the original plastic .
