I've been using a bullet pen for years, so when I saw that this had a stylus, well it was a no brainer. I have an Omnia (which by the way is a great Windows Mobile device) and the stylus works really well with it. For those times that a finger just won't do it, having a stylus in my pocket is a real convenience.

This is the second Space Pen I've bought and I love them. My first Space Pen lasted me for 10 years before my pack was stolen forcing me to replace it. This one is identical to the first and it works just as well.

Here's the bottom line: Pens are becoming anachronistic. As electronic communication and correspondence becomes ubiquitous - so ends the need for pen and paper. It won't be long before you won't NEED a pen, but you'll still have to have one and this is it.

The design is truly beautiful. The pen is nice and short when closed, but as long as a regular pen when open. This small size makes it the ideal pen to stick in your pocket, purse, fanny pack, whatever. I don't know if it's indestructible, but the one I had for 10 years looked very good and worked perfectly living in my pocket the whole time. I never had to change ink cartridges, but they're available everywhere.

If you are looking for a pen that's going to make people jealous, keep looking. This is an affordable and elegantly simple writing instrument. People may not think it costs a thousand dollars, but they'll ALL think it's cool and want one of their own.

BTW: The pocket clip does come off without much force. I would take a star off for this except that I never use the clip anyway. The closed pen is a little too short to securely clip in your pocket.

I keep it in my pocket. Never fails... even on those plastic thermal sales slips that I have to sign when the one at the store never will.
