Guest jonf Posted February 14, 2006 Report Posted February 14, 2006 Hi, Can any please advise where I can buy a replacement stylus for the Orange M500. Orange themselves dont sell them and the ones I bought from Expansys claiming to be for the M500 dont fit. Can anyone help?? Cheers Jon
Guest JamieDow Posted February 14, 2006 Report Posted February 14, 2006 I did a quick search on google but for HTC magician replacement stylus and it came back with a few possiblities including proporta. If you have any joy please let me know, i'm forever losing these things :)
Guest jonf Posted February 14, 2006 Report Posted February 14, 2006 Thanks but they only appear to sell 3/4 in 1 styli and they dont look to be the same size. I have tried trawling google to no avail. Anyone else??

I have tried trawling google to no avail. Anyone else?? Shame you weren't looking last week - I sold my last 10 original ones on ebay for £3 each - I know what you mean about the one-size-fits-all 3 in 1 styluses.. I'll let you know if I get anymore. Richard
Guest abhayseth Posted February 14, 2006 Report Posted February 14, 2006 Jon - have u tried boxwave - http://www.boxwave.com/products/styraballpointpen/index.htm Hi, Can any please advise where I can buy a replacement stylus for the Orange M500. Orange themselves dont sell them and the ones I bought from Expansys claiming to be for the M500 dont fit. Can anyone help?? Cheers Jon <{POST_SNAPBACK}>
Guest jonf Posted February 14, 2006 Report Posted February 14, 2006 Had a look thanks but they dont do one for the M500. Plus I would prefer just a normal stylus.
Guest ryanred5 Posted February 14, 2006 Report Posted February 14, 2006 I know you said you got some on Expansys, was it these ones:- M500 Stylus Catherine
Guest jonf Posted February 14, 2006 Report Posted February 14, 2006 Yes those are the ones. The picture is of an M500 stylus, but the product I received doesnt look like that. If you look at the attachment the one on the left is what I received and the one on the right is an original M500 stylus. Even Expansys expected them to fit!!
Guest ryanred5 Posted February 14, 2006 Report Posted February 14, 2006 Yes I see what you mean, thats no good is it? Have you not got the spare stylus that came with the phone originally?
Guest marksurry Posted February 14, 2006 Report Posted February 14, 2006 Have you tried Ebay? You can sometime spick up dummy phones with original stylus. Or, you could buy my spare for £100 +vat :)
Guest jonf Posted February 14, 2006 Report Posted February 14, 2006 I have. Nothing up before, unless you want to buy one that doubles as a pen and buy it from a guy in hong kong, where it is pot luck if it will fit your M500 or just turn out to be a small back sctratcher!!

Hello, as I mentioned earlier, there are listings for original stylus ocassionally... http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?Vie...item=5861601989 all sold, no more left for the moment :-( Richard
Guest jonf Posted February 14, 2006 Report Posted February 14, 2006 Thanks. I have just PM'ed you my email address for if you get any more.
Guest tripdog Posted February 15, 2006 Report Posted February 15, 2006 Thanks. I have just PM'ed you my email address for if you get any more. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> go into your nearest orange shop or vodafone store pick up a display model and slip the stylus out , i never told you to do this
Guest dr_shabzzz Posted February 17, 2006 Report Posted February 17, 2006 ...and you've lost the spare one in the box aswell??? :shock:
Guest fluffcat1 Posted February 17, 2006 Report Posted February 17, 2006 go into your nearest orange shop or vodafone store pick up a display model and slip the stylus out , i never told you to do this You'll be lucky - my local orange store is tiny - not only do they not stock 'business' handsets such as the m500, they'd be on top of you staring at all times if you tried anything. I've never seen the VPA compact in a voda store either :-( Richard
Guest jonf Posted February 18, 2006 Report Posted February 18, 2006 No I havent lost any. I am responsible for the mobile phones at the company i work for. We have 10 of these devices and i need spares for when my collegues lose them!
Guest debully Posted February 18, 2006 Report Posted February 18, 2006 I know u get one with a replacement phone from Orange Care ;-) Couln't you just phone Orange Care and explain that you've lost most functionality of the phone - dont tell em why!! heheh - sorry only joking - useless posting is my thing today so it seems.
Guest pauleyez Posted February 20, 2006 Report Posted February 20, 2006 The dummy M500s on display in the Orange shops have removable stylus' already in them. If the store staff haven't removed them already then go and help yourself, you won't be putting anyone out because they are useless to the Orange shop staff anyway.
Guest ryanred5 Posted February 20, 2006 Report Posted February 20, 2006 Hiya Just thought Id leave the phone no for HTC Europe (smartphone repairers) - 0871 223 0217, try them and see if they can help. Catherine

Catherine Tried them before for a c500 battery cover - no joy, they referred me to Orange. Richard

Catherine <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Thanks, thats the best idea in this topic for a while. I tried them and got an answerphone ! However I have emailed them from the website. Not very hopeful but you never know. PS. For anyone else posting in this topic. I would like to buy a few styli as backups for the 10 devices I support. Borrowing one from an Orange shop each time is not really practical, but thanks for the advice anyway.

Theyve just fixed mine and my hubbies C500's, sorted the joysticks out. **Just sold mine on Ebay for £64 and my friend is having my hubbies for £60** Catherine
