Here is an accesory that you wouldnt normaly expect to be used with a phone, but I've found it very useful since I own a 6601.
Accesory Type: Stylus
Brand: Rotring
Price: $20-30
Where Purchased: University Arts in San Fancisco, CA. But I have found them in pen stores and Office supply stores as well.
Time Used: 3 years. I had this pen longer than I've had a PDA/phone!
Used with Which Phones: the 2032SP and the 6601
Overall Rating: 4.7/5
MY REVIEW:
I began using this pen when I needed a stylus for my old PDA (*cough*P-VIIx*cough*). For people who see it come out of my pocket, they 'ooh' and 'ahh' like mad.
Instead of an individual button for each of the tips, the choice is made of the tip desired by turning the barrel of the pen so the symbol of the tip (pen/stylus/.05 pencil/highlighter-pen) is facing straight up, then clicking the pen. When you are finished, you simply squeeze the pocket clip to retract the tip.
There are a few drawbacks to this pen. The tips have a capacity, about half of a normal pen/pencil. This is minor, but a bit of an annoyance. It's also a bit difficult to get refills; I had to send to Rotring to get them. But, as you can see from my rating, these are small annoyances.
All in all, a solid purchase, whatever you use for a PDA.
