Sure I have lots of pointy shaped utensils lying about the place, but none of them fit in the slot at the back of the device so why should I have to make do with something sub optimal?

I can buy replacement styli for Palms, HP iPAQs and other assorted Win Mobile devices, even for my Sony Ericsson W950i UIQ smartphone. Anything with a touchscreen usually comes with a stylus and it's pretty obvious the stylus won't last forever which is why the manufacturers allow owners to purchase replacements. Nokia are just being incredibly tardy here - there is no excuse.
