"BengalBoy's PimP'In Stick!" Precious Metal Stylus in 14K White Gold with Diamonds!!
User posted image

That's right!!! Feast your eye's on BengalBoy's Custom Made NEW PIMP'IN STICK!!! (with diamonds) The girls love it and the guys hate you for it......worth every cent...

Hand made of 11 grams of 14 carat white gold with three (3) real diamonds carrying a total weight of 1/10 carat, my Pimpin Stick is the real deal. Fit and finish are SUPERB and the stylus is an exact replica of your standard plastic stylus.....

It is perfect and I am proud of it because I now understand why PDA people criticized the weight and feel of the P800's stylus, like a fine pen, using this stylus just "feels better". Anyway,,,here are some more photos of the stylus and it's fit with the P800. Attaching and removing the stylus is just as easy as the plastic.....And if I ever find myself somewhere in need of cash....well....I can always pawn my stylus to get me through

I suspect Mr BengalBoy got this idea from Mr Vowles here. Which is much more impressive if you ask me, a guy making something like this from his own hands hammering on an old gold ring, than just having tons of money paying for other peoples labour.

Anywho, good initiative. I suppose alot of people would be interested in getting one of these, but how about the extra weight/mass, wouldn't it make it easier to cause damage to the screen?

Exeactly BB just stole the idea nothin more nothin less

Mr. Vowles is certainly a craftsman, and although you would like to believe I took his idea, that is not true as many of the P800 people have complained about the stylus since the phone was introduced. I did see Mr. Vowles work and it "jump started me" but what I am doing is making this available for the masses and you can't do that with a hammer and a piece of stock. If you would like one I will sell you one, or you can ask Mr. Vowles to hand make you one....

Raven 13 Jun 2003, 14:49

Yes well, like I said, good initiative. I didn't say you "stole" the idea, but I do believe that you wouldn't have considered making something like this without having seen all the positive response Mr. Vowles got for his work. You are a business-man after all, aren't you?

I'm considering one, and some sort of engraving would be nice. How do I go about requesting something like that?

And how about getting your "posse" together to make a better(sturdier) flipp? I think there'll be just as big a market for something like that...

BengalBoy 13 Jun 2003, 17:06

You are correct Raven, the response is what prompted me to invest my money in tooling for marketing this. We can create whatever you like within the paramaters of the stylus itself, (size). I will be listing these on eBay tonight under the Seller name "Rottenspots", you can contact me that way. Custom orders will require additional time to create, but we are determined that it will be no more than 10 days to fill an order. Again these stylus are made to order and as you can see involve hand made finishing techniques in order to get the look and fit with your P800.

We are looking into plating a P800 covers and the keypad has already been assessed, it can be done, but would be very expensive....
