@Masseur & Co.

If Stylus is singular, which I believe it is, then plural is Styli. However words such as virus or vulgus are already in plural (or symbolize a group), and therefore should never be pluralized as viri, virii, viruses...

*cough cough* this thread is about p900 not stylusses or styli

Anyway dictionary.com says

sty·lus ( P ) Pronunciation Key (stls)
n.
pl. sty·lus·es or sty·li (-l)
A sharp, pointed instrument used for writing, marking, or engraving.
Computer Science. A pointed instrument used as an input device on a pressure-sensitive screen.
A phonograph needle.
A sharp, pointed tool used for cutting record grooves.

Therefore, both styluses and styli are acceptable

I see that another heated and controversial debate is raging. I am refraining from commenting on the hot topic of the plural for stylus until I've heard the government's response. I would advise everyone else to do the same, such an important issue shouldn't be treated flipantly or lightly. Lets all just brace ourselves for the outcome.

thanks dragon fly.

also thanks for those who wish to comment on my (not 1st language) english.

masseur: derived from latin the plural of -us will be -i not -ii it is not finnish mind you.

Strange, it did not look like it uses the Memory stick pro?
Am I wrong?
I would say it would be a big mistake by SonyEricsson to release a new smartphone which cannot make use of the memorystick pro duo, if I am not misinformed (looked at the memorystick site) they have a capacity of up to 512mb anyway. That would be great for playing mp3's and videos . Please don't limit the P900 to 128MB!
