Well...many people, including myself, had complaints about the stock stylus being too loose. I found a stylus made for iPaq that fit very snug. The black part of the stylus that clips into the top section had to be mildly sanded down but it clamped down perfectly.

I tried to take the stylus out today and bam...I pull out the very top of the stylus...the black part. I guess the silver rod is still inside the phone.

Is there a way to take off the top of the phone...the black part?

Look at the the black part of the stylus you extracted and find a soft plastic rod of some sort very slightly larger than the part of the black end that you can thread into the hole in the stylus. Thread in the plastic rod and use it to extract the stylus. Should be pretty easy if you find the right plastic rod--try Hobby Lobby, etc.

Just go to the hardware store and buy an easyout. They are a tool for exactly that purpose. They will be in the secure area with the power tools and small bits. Just take your phone and ask the person in that area where the easyouts are located...

Thanks everyone. I'm from Indy also Todd.

If you use an easyout, be careful... they have sharp edges that can easily damage the antenna stub/internals of the stylus silo. It will also probably mess up the first thread in the stylus barrel. If you file a point on a plastic rod and thread/jam it onto the stylus hole, you should be able to complete the extraction without any damage to anything. I would not consider taking anything apart; that would void your warranty.

I didn't know the top was threaded... If it is threaded then just go to the hardware store and go the where the loose screws are... find one that matches the threads and screw it in... pull out the stilus and then unscrew the screw and return the screw to the bin...

That's an interesting idea if you can find one long enough... I'm not positive it's threaded but that would certainly work.

Take a long bamboo skewer, put a drop of super glue on the pointed end and insert it carefuly into the stuk stylus, let it sit there a few minutes to dry real good and pull it out
