I found a 3 pack of stylus's for the T-Mobile version of the TP2. Found them on Amazon. The companies name is SF Planet.

SKU/Item # : S194
Price: $9.99 USD
Shipping (for me): $2.98
$13 for 3 stylus! I like it. They fit perfectly in the case and feel to be pretty good quality.
Cool!
Btw, do you have any idea for AT&T version of Rhodium. I bought a pack of 2 stylus in eBay (for aprox $3), and it painfully loose
I would think that because both are GSM phones that these would fit. I could be wrong.

I have not had that kind of problem yet.
Not worth it
I bought these for my VzW Touch Pro 2. Because I think the size was just different enough from the standard stylus, the system did not always respond when you withdrew or inserted the stylus. They didn't seem to "click" in as well as standard stylus. Finally, the ink did not last long enough to be worth using as a pen. (Not surprising if you consider the tiny space available for the ink "well").
Even at 9.99 or 13.99, I did not find them "worth" it.

One of the first accessories I like to buy for any new device I get is a replacement (fits in OEM silo) Pen stylus. I know the Touch Cruise is new, but has anyone seen any stylii that are pens and fit in the device?
TIA!
Hi - the TC comes with a spare or Expansys(UK) are selling some here:
http://www.expansys.com/a.aspx?i=159608&atype=Stylii
Though showing estimate delivery of 9 days from today...
Thanks for the reply. However, I am looking for a combination pen-stylus that fits into the existing silo slot of the Cruise. The link you provided was for stock replacement stylus which is not a pen.
Oops. Sorry. Will post again if I find what you need.
doubt you will find one, the size of the stylus on the touch cruise would surely be too small to fit a combination pen/stylus

Is such a stylus available for the Artemis? If so then it would NOT fit the Touch Cruise because the bit of black plastic at the end is a different shape but it would demonstrate that such a thing is possible because the overall dimensions of the two styli are identical. (I just slid my Artemis stylus into my Touch cruise and the diameter fits perfectly, the overall lengths are identical, and the only reason the Artemis stylus won't push fully into the TC is because the plastic bit at the end is longer relative to the overall stylus length compared to the TC stylus so it fouls the edge just at the last 5mm or so of travel into the device.)

haven't got mine at the moment but how thick is the stylus? 2mm, cant see how a mechanism for a 3 in 1 would fit in such a size

Definitely bigger than 2mm. I just held it up against a tape measure and the diameter looks to be just a shade over 3mm, probably about 3.2mm.

still think its not thick enough even at 4 mm, have you ever seen anything like this that is less than 1cm+

I have gotten (in the past) a 3-in-1 for every device I have had except for the collapsible KJAM stylus. One will become available for the Polaris. The stylus is not that much different from other devices.
Re my previous message, this will almost certainly NOT fully push home into the receiver on a TC (because of the different profile of the black plastic thing on the end) but it IS an existence proof that such a device is possible within the form factor of a TC stylus.

That's what we need. I am sure some US distributors will pick this up soon. HTC just needs to get the damn device out there in more quantities.
They will deliver to the us but it wont be cheap, probably about $60

Ouch. I love my pen-stylus combo's but not for 60 bucks. I'll wait 'til a US distributor comes along.
If i see anything ill let you know, am i right in thinking that the Polaris stylus is the same as the orbit 2 stylus
that looks sweet...can't wait for it to be avail. in the US!
i'm sure by this summer when the TC starts to become more popular over here we will start seeing alot cooler accessories for it.
It's just a matter of time...the waiting game def. sucks tho

If an Orbit 2 stylus is the same as an Orbit 1 then no, the Polaris stylus will not push home fully into the Orbit housing. Read my previous posts in this thread (including the one on page 1 of the thread) for details. If Orbit 2 stylus is different to Orbit 1 then I don't know.

Wow I love that!
I guess I'm just dense, but why won't a ATT Tilt 2, AKA Touch Pro 2 fit in the various cases that the TMobile Touch Pro 2 fit in?
For example the Piel Frama Touch Pro 2 case says that the T Mobile Touch Pro 2 will not fit in it.
So then I wonder, will the ATT Tilt 2 fit in the case from Piel Frama?
Does anyone know if the ATT Tilt 2 will fit in the case offered by Noreve?
And, finally, is it that the device really won't fit or is it that perhaps the charger or some other connection does not work with the different devices, while the device is in the case?
part answer
I think I can partly answer my own question and perhaps phrase it a bit differently. I did some comparrison Image searching in google(why didn't I do that first) and note that the T Mobile TP 2 has the buttons embedded a bit higher up on the lower part of the phone.
So I guess I could rephrase the question to be this. I see that the unbranded TP 2 is all in black where as the ATT has sort of a chrome ring bezel.
So are the buttons and placements of the device other than the reset button the same on the ATT as on the HTC unbranded?
Or said yet another way, will a ATT TP 2 work in any case designed for the unbranded TP 2?
From what I can tell they all have little differences. But I can tell you that I just purchased a really rugged case made by BodyGlove for my AT&T Tilt 2 and it was made for TP2, At&t, Sprint and Verizon models. http://store.accstation.com/chtctouccoc9.html The phone fits very nice and secure but the PTT button is covered but that's ok, I don't use it.
If you look HERE it will show you the size diff in the different Rhod versions

Ya, been using this case for a few days now and I love it. Yes it does add a little bulk but it more than makes up for it in protection. Also if it slips out of your hand you where not even trying to hold on to it.
I ordered a 3 pack of these bad boys from amazon; $13 shipped for 3 is much better than boxwave's $16 shipped for one...now we need to see if they fit properly!
http://www.amazon.com/Fosmon®-Premium-Quality-T-Mobile-Ballpoint/dp/B003752IWI
I will report back once they arrive =)
Can't guarantee those will, but I CAN guarantee that these will. The ORA Stylus from Expansys-USA and for less than $12 (sans shipping).
Boxwave tried to poo-poo these when I asked how come a single boxwave pen/stylus cost as much as a three-pack of these.
I have the three-pack for my Sprint Touch Pro2. First batch were defective, and even before I said anything Expansys-USA admitted they had sent me defective ones and replaced them.
Never an issue since.
Please write back and say if these fit your Sprint (CDMA) Touch Pro2 and how well they work. Always need new styli.
Did you recieve the stylus yet???
Is it a PERFECT fit?

I bought a 3 pack. Yes, they fit just like the originals. They are very slightly different when inserted, but it is not noticeable. They work just like the OEM; when I remove the stylus the device unlocks.
yup they fit Tmobile tp2 perfectly and for roughly $4 delivered each boxwave can suck it sideways!
any pics of how they fit externally? you said there is a minimal difference with the OEM stylus..
fosmon fits tp2 just fine
i finally got my 3 pack today. took 2 weeks as the first shipment to me was lost. In short these guys are exactly the same length as the original however the steel barrel is of a smaller diameter. Looks like they simply used a high quality pen cartridge and cut it down to fit, then added the plastic tips at both ends. 3 for $14 I cant *****. I would recom recommend.
Will this stylus fit AT&T Tilt2? Probably it will, just want to be sure
I bought these from Expansys USA and they fit like a charm. Even before I was able to complain that the pens weren't working, I received an email from Expansys USA that they had sent me defective pens and replaced them with no questions asked.
Stylus fits fine. It's a great thing to have a pen when you need one.
Thanks! Needed to know this. Just bought a stylus for my Tmobile TP2, but it was the sprint branded one...lets just say I had to "modify" it to make it work. Now I can get three that look right for less than the $21 shipped that HTC charges for their 3 pack!
Wow, awesome find! Just ordered mine, can't wait...!
Fits my VzW TP2, but...
The Fosman metal stylus fit my VzW TP2, but it initially caused some weird behavior. I have stylus lock engaged so my device will not wake up, etc., with stylus. The device ignored the lock with the Fosman stylus! Finally got it working by unloading and reloading device lock.
Worse still, the ink dried up after only a couple of weeks and literally less than 20 words written. Since that was the only reason to go with the Fosman, I have gone back to the OEM stylus. (Yes, I know I got a 3-pack, but what good is a pen that dries up after a couple of uses?) I should have thought about it -- look how small the barrel is for any ink reservoir ...
Where'd you buy it?

I bought mine at Expansys-USA and they replaced it saying that they had shipped me a defective set. No questions asked and the new set don't dry up.
I got that same pack on Amazon for 9.99 + 3 for shipping the fit and work great.

You can also order them from tmobile's site for 9.99 + 6 shipping and taxes.

Do they fit in the tilt 2?
Just got mine in from Amazon.com for 9.99 + 3 for shipping as well. They fit great and still work w/ stylus sensor and writes well. We'll see how long the ink lasts...
anyone know where i could buy a stylus with ball point for the normal touch pro2 on ebay? because hard to purchase when in in Australia. Thanks
I made my own out of a htc stylus some melted plastic a file and a black paint marker. I just ordered the fosmon one thanx everyone for letting me know this one works.
Hi, I have had touch pro and touch pro 2 devices - both with stylus attached-with both styluses worked fine.
You can find advertised cogitive stylus for Hero on ebay (they write that it works on iphone too), but I did not try any...
However today got one cheep stylus. It is like plastic pen with black rubber ending -similar to eraser on pen...
Works just if you push rather hardly with significant power and rather is not comparable to that from touch pro...
Did anybody met decent stylus working on Hero?

Hi, I bought it for about 6 pounds with additional 1.5 for shipment. They shipped it already and wrote that shipment should take about 7-12 days. I will let you know about experience when receive.
stylus
So I got it and cannot tell that it is a miracle. You still have to press more than with windows based HTC phones and rather fat fingers are better...
...Or install Smartkeyboard ap.
Isn't that because those phones used resistive touch screens? whereas the Hero uses a capacitive touch screen?

Is it me or is everything for the tilt 2 expensive and HARD TO FIND or un available. I love silicon cases right, so I wanted to buy one for my new tilt 2, CANNOT FIND ONE ANYWHERE! I found one for a T-Mobile touch pro 2 but it was black, not fitted for my device, ugly and EXPENSIVE! I tried to look for a spare stylus just in case, on Ebay I found ONE for $15!!!!!!! Tried to get a spare battery cover just in case something happened to mine, CANNOT FIND ONE ANYWHERE! Not on ebay, amazon or anywhere. I ended up ordering the european touch pro's battery cover for $20!! Batteries for the tilt 2 are hard to come across and are as much as $50 for one. I have never had so much trouble finding accessories for a phone as popular as this that is used on 4 MAJOR carriers. The pure, which is only supported on At&t has silicon cases in any color for maximum $5. Battery backs for $5-7 and the other accessories are even cheaper. Does anyone have an explanation for this, sorry for my rage I just need to express my anger towards this predicament.

The issue stems from the fact that each carrier's version of the TP2 is just slightly different enough that many accessories will only work on one or two of them...so that presents the obvious challenge to manufacturers of trying to guess which models it's worth producing compatible accessories (like cases) for.
Boxwave does carry a line of silicone-like cases for the Tilt2, but I don't know if the styling will suit you.
I feel your pain. I want a rubber case for mine and I had thought I found one on ebay (it was the only one listed). I decided to send the seller a message just to make sure that it would fit a Tilt2. He said no, it was just for the TP2, EVEN THOUGH TILT2 WAS IN THE TITLE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
It does seem like everything is for the TP2 and not the Tilt2. But that's okay, I still love the phone.
Do you think the european touch pro 2 battery back will look okay on the tilt 2? I ordered it but haven't gotten it yet, but on the plus side the annoying PTT button wont be their (YAY FOR ME!). I hope it works..... I also hope my dream of silicon cases will come true
Eh, the PTT button is decidedly ungay. use Rhodium Keyboard Config to map it to do awesome **** like rotate screen on single click, disconnect data on double click, toggle wifi on triple, and bluetooth toggle on hold...
Really? Well, if I could find a Tilt 2 battery cover i'd use it. Otherwise not an option for me....
I'm quite sick of the whole situation myself
I totally feel your pain... and Hell, I live in L.A. where you'd think you should be able to find damn near anything on a shelf somewhere, but not a chance. Not even the AT&T stores here carry anything. If you have a Blackberry or an iPhone, then you have more choices than brains, but for anything HTC, good luck. And sorry, I'm not keen on shopping for some things online and accessories for this phone with so many variables is one of them. Someone is missing out on $$$
Okay, I have succeded a huge feat that only people's wild imaginations could think up. I have completed a challange so difficult, gorrillas and llamas will be terrified to death to think of the trouble and harshness I went through to complete this amazing acomplishment. This is no longer a figment of your imagination but a reality! I have found..... A SILICONE CASE FOR THE TOUCH PRO 2! I was searching in the Amazon for the mysterious silicone case when suddenly it popped out of no where! I found green, black, purple, pink, red, blue, and any other color of the rainbow. I was tempted to attack the deal and was just about to finish and proudly show my trophy when.... Amazon doesn't support paypal.... Oh well. Just a little over exaggeration. I did find them on amazon.com but no paypal support so ima have to wait
This site has silicone and rubberized for the tilt 2. http://www.talkietech.com/athtcti2ac.html
Where? The one I found was made for the t-mobile version and is $6.
If you're willing to do a little trimming (PTT button), then most of the Touch Pro 2 plastic, rubberized and silicone cases can be used.
