I originally purchased the $80 pen from best buy. After finding out that $80 only gets you 4 apps that this is useful with I returned it and got my money back.
I Then went to the Fujitsu website and purchased this Pen for $25 +tax and shipping $32 total
Got it today from fedex. It is almost identical to the HTC PEN except it has 1 button (highlight) and a lanyard. Also comes with an additional tip. It works perfectly with the Flyer. For erasing, I just click the Pen button on the tab and use the eraser there instead of on the pen its self. So You are paying an Extra $48 + Tax for an erase button on the pen. NO Thank you.
Return those Overpriced Pens to Best Buy, Let HTC Know what you think of that waste of money with your Wallets. Buy the Fujitsu pen and don't look back till HTC comes to their Senses and lowers the price.
Oh, you can also attach the lanyard to your case so your pen can't run away if you are inclined. I've got mine on my TPU case at the power hole.
An extra pen would make a perfect Father's Day gift.
Thank you for the info.
It looks like the Fujitsu part number is FPCPN36AP.
I also found it on Amazon (USA) for $33.99 and PC Connection for $23.43 (both plus shipping)
Thanks for the info yo. I was just looking for an alternative pen yesterday and seen this one but didn't know if it worked. Thanks for the confirmation

Nice find, good price
Thanks for the find ordered !
I picked up a few of the Fujitsu stylus pens as backup. The lanyard attachment is nice but "other end" doesn't work very well as a capacitive stylus.
I was under the impression it was Best Buy's decision not to bundle the pen... Hence their logo on the flyer box. Complain to Best Buy...

Never used back of pen as stylus, couldn't stand the metal on tablet issue.
Best Buy, HTC, Don't matter, if the pen were bundled the flyer would be $579. Don't buy the pen for $80, the erase button and metal stylus isn't worth it over the Fujitsu for the price difference. Make HTC/Best Buy Lower the price on the pen with you wallet.

I agree. Gouging the consumer for the one distinctive feature of this tablet sucks. The lower price will come in time. Personally if it weren't for the pen integration, I wouldn't have purchased the Flyer. It was never an option for me to not buy the magic pen.
Having the Fujitsu n-trig option is great backup for me.
BTW - clarification of who's gouging the consumer does matter for press and company profiles. I have to handed it to someone, they understood that price was key to make this device more attractive to first-gen tablet consumers. And that the pen was a "Power-user" premium.
I received the Fujitsu pen today. It is the same exact size as the HTC pen and it works fine on the flyer. And it comes with an extra tip.
Woohoo
HTC Flyer / Tapatalk
Does the fujitsu pen also have the same pressure sensitivity as the htc flyer pen or any pressure sensitivity at all?
Yes it is pressure sensitive. It may be a little better with gauging pressure than the HTC pen...
Great find, I've ordered one myself.
Awesome find but just to also let you know I grabbed the HTC pen from eBay brand new for 30 dollars even shipping was free, was a little skeptical but hey figured I would try. It came in and it is the HTC official pen packaging and all. Just figured i would share.

got one from this seller. no retail packaging but the scribe looks new with no scratches.
I only ask because this scribe is black, and most I've seen that are OEM were definitley silver.
I'm just a bit concerned that this guy might be selling counterfit ones.

The black one is meant to be an accessory for the View. They're the same though, I have both... I also have a UK 3G Flyer that came with the silver Scribe
Allright great! Thanks a lot. I might buy this. It's in my price range. Any problems with using it thus far?
FYI, Best Buy just drop the price on the pen for the flyer, it's now $39.99.

I am not sure, however, after exploring the tablet software a little bit there is an awesome desktop dock application that shows the weather, the htc clock, and facebook updates. So I take it we will see a home dock in the near feature. I wish a car dock would come out, but because of its size and legality of videos playing while driving, we probably won't see one of those.
The only two accessories that I know of are:
HTC Scribe Pen - $80
Anti-Glare Screen Protector @ AT&T - $20

Actually, if you go to Amazon and search for HTC Puccini, a tpc case also shows up. No case, though....soon, I hope!

For anyone looking for decent case that fits the HTC Jetstream until cases that are made for this product reach the market. I have been using a Targus (Truss Leather Case / Stand) Model Number THZ07002US from Best Buy.
It’s a case that was made to fit an Acer ICONIA TAB A500 10.1 pad. It works as a cover and a stand that has three viewing angles in stand mode. It also has a slot for the styles pen but it’s a little bulky, doesn’t fit as tightly as I would like and it covers the back camera. All that said you can easily reach the on off switch, head phone jack, volume controls and even plug the unit in without taking the pad out of the case.
I still want to buy a case made for my unit that lets me use the back camera and that fits a little better but until they become available I needed some thing to protect my new overpriced but amazing Jetstream.
Looks like PDAir will be making some and rooCASE will have some nice ones ready October 19 on Amazon...they look nice.
scribe pen
is the scribe pen still coming free with the device if its bought in store? thanks
Yes, until October 15...
Pen Issues
I bought the unit in person last week, just before closing on my way home from work. The ATT store did not include the pen with my purchase and I forgot to ask for it. I went back in the am to get it and boy did it get interesting.
They started out with the story that the Pen only was included if you bought the data plan on a 2 year commitment?
I said really? Show me where it says that? I have seen the pen offered in EVERY AD as free with purchase for a limited time.
We went round and round and the finally relented but what a PIA....
ATT is truly clueless when it comes to it's own products, promotions etc.
Love the Jetstream, dont love the hoops you have to jump through.
How about NO ONE knowing when the LTE network is turning on?
Why am I paying for a data plan for something that is not ever available yet and has no timeline?
I passed on the data.
Have unlimited wifi tether on my rooted inspire so that's my dataplan.
Yeah I didnt think they were all coming with pens, hope mine has one with it ><
Didn't have that issue. I am WiFi only and they asked to register me and I said I didn't really need to because I was using it only on WiFi networks. Got the pen nonetheless.
I think you are supposed to have a data plan, but the advertising was hazy....and the ATT rep said without me asking that I got the pen. I really think it depends on the person.
ATT doesn't have good reception in my neck of the woods, so Sprint is my provider. like you, Tracy, I just tether.

Case/cover for Jetstream
Picked this case up on Amazon last week.
http://www.amazon.com/HTC-PUCCINI-S...H4TA/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1316444249&sr=8-3
For 9.99 was not expecting much....Case is great....Soft and flexibile. Covers the back and all the corners and makes holding easy.
I recommend highly.
Tracy
Has anybody heard about a folio case that allows it to stand up, much like the Xoom case? It's really the only thing I find the device is missing.
Melkco says they are working on one. So does PDAir. RooCASE will have one ready mid-October....you can see the rooCASE on Amazon. PDAir on their own website, and I conducted Melkco on my own....
Looks like we will have to be patient. The gel case on Amazon works well for the time being....

http://www.ebay.com/itm/Sikai-Mibro...985919?pt=PDA_Accessories&hash=item2eb825e17f
Found this case on the HTC website. It is the official case. I assume it looks just lile the Flyer case..
http://shopamerica.htc.com/product/productpop.htm?prId=39802
Due to being in a rush, i got this case for $70 at WalMart
www.kensington.com/kensington/us/us/p/1615/K39336US/keyfolio™-bluetooth®-keyboard-case.aspx
Had to make some mods such as cutting a big hole for the camera and cutting some of the elastic for clear the volume and power buttons. Also cut some of the front 'frame' so the screen is fully visable.
IMPORTANT: Just be aware the two/three small holes on the top of the Jetstream are light sesons for the flash/camera, so the hole you cut for the camera must be big enough allow light access to those small holes. The BT keyboard works great with it too.

I saw that yesterday. It also comes in pink but I would prefer a case that has a place for the scribe pen....:-\
Just a heads up to anyone looking for a few accessories for the HTC flyer. Best Buy has the scribe pen for $39, the invisibleSHIELD for $10, and the Rocketfish Leather case for only $15. These prices are taken from their website. If I had not already bought a leather case, I would pick up the rocketfish from them.
Yeah. I got the pen when I bought the Flyer. It was $39 at that time also. Happy they littered the price of the Shield. What they were charging for just the screen protection was more than Zagg was charging online and only $5 less than what Zagg charges for the full body protection, which I got with free shipping. I'm not crazy about the case since there's no space for the pen, but that's definitely not a bad price.
Thanks for the info.

Hi, i cant find/see the rocketfish leather case bestbuy website... can forward me the link?
thanks.
It was on their site originally but I'm guessing they took it down because it was sold out. What' s even more puzzling is I was talking to a Best Buy associate yesterday and he told me that the flyer is discontinued. Of course I didn't really believe him but I checked on their site and saw that not only is the flyer backordered, It is unavailable at every best buy around me in a 100 mile radius. Hopefully he was just full of it.
I went to BB last night and got the Zagg screen protector. That was the last one that they had.. They had the stylus and cases, though.
I have no direct insight into HTCs management decisions, but from having owned several of their products, my opinion is;
Bestbuy is closing the Flyer out, they put it on sale and are not restocking.
This probably means that HTC has declared end of life for the flyer meaning they will not make any more.
I would not be surprised if HTC declares that the Flyer is not getting any software updates because its hardware doesn't support Honeycomb or ICS. That's completely false of course because we all know the hardware will support either, but this is an excuse they have use several times in the past.
I expect HTC to either exit the tablet market or come out with a new line of lesser quality builds at a lower price point.
I have a Lenovo Thinkpad tablet that didn't come with a stylus. Anybody know where the cheapest place to get one is?

Cheapest I've found is Amazon.com, here.
It seems to be at least $40 everywhere else.
If you want to go cheap, any n-trig pen should work for the tpt. I had a stylus from an HP slate which worked just as well on my thinkpad. Problem would be fitting in it's holder though. Check eBay I got an official pen there new for around $40 (USA)
Sent from my Nexus One using xda premium
This isnt actually a cheaper option, but hear me out. The stylus from the HTC flyer works great with the Thinkpad Tablet, AND fits in the hole in the back of the device. The buttons on the pen apparently are useless, great for me, since I moved from a flyer to this - the pen was free because I already had the Flyer stylus.
Other than the HTC stlyus being grey as opposed to red/black - I cannot see any difference between the two. Only problem is - the HTC stylus is about 20 dollars more expensive than the lenovo one. /Facepalm
Amazon as a large selection
I'm looking for case for my new HTC eVo VieW 4G, I dont really need a pen, but I guess maybe if I find a good deal for case + pen I'd take that
can someone suggest one or two? good quality inexpensive...
I'm waiting to see if the Case-Mate HTC Flyer Versant Case http://www.case-mate.com/HTC-Flyer-Cases/HTC-Flyer-Cases.asp, they are selling it for $20 (down from $40) but I am hoping it has a slot for a pen.
As for the pen itself so far the best price I can find is at the Sprint store $49.99 for their black version. Otherwise eBay if you want to bid on silver ones and occasionally the Sprint black one's show up as well.
i bought this one, does what it should do, plus works in both landscape and portrait mode. looks good too. AND ONLY $12...
got every needed holes cut out, for speakers, mics and all... plus a smart penholder.

Just want to say that all the replacement Wacom pens i've purchased for my Asus EP121 tablet (12.1" Windows 7 Tablet with Capacative/Wacom input like the Note) work just fine on the note And much more comfortable to use than the S-Pen (haven't tried with the holder)
The three i've tested are the stock pen that comes with EP121, the Axiotron Studio, and the Axiotron Digitizer. Picked them up from here: http://www.nationwidesurplus.com/casearch.aspx?SearchTerm=wacom+pen with a 10% discount or so from a coupon code a few months back.
This is going to make it even harder not to carry my tablet with the note since I can tether the tablet to it..
I think any "Wacom Penenabled" pen will work with the device. I've noticed that so far that the eraser works, but the 2nd button does not.
do you know if the pressure sensitivity is more accurate with the wacom pens? The s-pen (at least mine) has almost no travel, seems like off and on.

I didn't even think about this possibility. I have a similar HP laptop with the touch and pen. Forget which model exactly, I have a new laptop now. However, if the pen works with the note when I get it, I'm going to constantly carry it with me unless I'm wearing basketball shorts or sweatpants, as the pen that came with my laptop is a great size and has some weight to it.

Yeah that pen wont work you have to use a pen that works with a Wacom pennable display. These are specific pens that are designed for integrated tablet options. Try looking at IBM pens fore the x61 and above machines. they are all over Ebay and cheap about 15 - 20 dollars a pen. I'm sitting here in a room full of Intuos 3 and 4 pens and none of them actually work on my note, they are not compatible.
I Just tried a friends Cintiq pen, and it did not work on my note. Also tried the pen that came with my first generation 5" wacom tablet it also did not work; did try a pen off a random HP pen tablet in the office and that does work. Not sure what the differences in pen technology are, but obviously there are some.
-Josh
There is a difference in many generations of Wacom pen tech. In my tests all of the Penabled styluses have worked very well. so it seems a good rule of thumb here when considering a higher quality stylus is if its a stylus designed for a Wacom branded product. Or a stylus for a 3rd party product that happens to use Wacom Technology. no first party products have worked in my tests and all 3rd party ones have. Currently I am using the stylus from the Samsung 7 series tablet. Eraser works, button works , a noticeable increase in pressure accuracy and above all else its better shielded to prevent the auto-pressing bug many are facing with the S-pen. I'd be shocked if Samsung doesn't try to market a "S-pen pro" device in the near future.
I purchased my 7 series tablet pen from amazon for about 30 bucks.

REALLY the slate's pen works?? I carry my slate pen everywere in my pocket ready to use on my slate, but i went to a best buy and decided to try my stylus on the note that i saw on display it didn't work =\ , I really hope it really does work because this will be great. But i do have the developers version of the slate, doubt that should make a difference. My note comes in a few days..cross my fingers!
Also for others interested the great thing about the Samsung Slate Stylus is that it has a penclip so i easily clip it to the inside of my pocket and not worry about it falling out.
Wacom "Penabled" pens work, which you'll usually find with tablet PCs. Confirmed with the pen from my Thinkpad X60.
Wacom's regular line of pens, such as from the Bamboo, or the Intuos, do not work.
Note that even the eraser on my Thinkpad pen worked in the Memo app! Very cool.
As a cheaper alternative to the Samsung digitizer pen (for the slate). There is a company called Nationwide Surplus that sells white Axiotron digitizer pens for about $18 with free shipping. It's basically the same thing as the Samsung.
White stylus
They also sell a 3 pack of these for $50.
They sell an Axiotron Studio pen as well which includes a grip. I used to have one of these and they are very nice and comfortable, but might be overkill for the note.
I just ordered a 3-pack of the white stylus to have some stock. They come with extra nib units too. Great deal.
I purchased this one a few days ago on their site, the price was $14.

I would've loved to have gone for one of those Axiotron pens, but I'm particular about my gadgets being black.
I went and opted for this Toshiba pen. At $35 shipped, it was the cheapest black pen I could find. Those Samsung pens started at $40ish shipped, and I like how it looked thinner and more pencil-like than the Samsung.

Cool. Also, if you are in need of another at some point you can search around for a Fujitsu branded one. These pens are all basically the same. And there are deals to be had. No real reason to pay more than $20 for one of these.
