Does anyone know where I can get a replacement cover for the external antenna jack (the little rubber plug on the back across from the camera)? Using a PDA2K/Blue Angel.

Mine was loose and fell out somewhere and was lost. Now the unit isn't steady on a table if I'm tapping on the screen with the stylus.

Here's what I did:

Take a "Bic" biro (one of the ones with the yellow casing.

Remove the plug at the blunt end

Squeeze the plug slightly using pliers or teeth

Place over aerial cover

Result - no more rocking...

Yes the "BIC" biro lid did the magic for me as well.

Hehe nice idea! I didnt think of that one myself.

I was playing with the cover on my XDA 2 once in the same silly subconcious way I do as chewing the stylus and somehow lost it! I called O2 to check if they could sell me a new one but they dont offer that part. However I went to an O2 shop and was able to obtain from them the one off their display dummy. :P

I'm being very careful not to lose this one! :lol:

You know - I read this the other day, and thought to myself - Geez, glad I haven't opened my antenna plug to make it lose.. And then yesterday I pulled my phone out of my pocket and blam! It's gone!.. No Bic BIROS in Canada - but lots of "Crystals" - I remember the pens from a long time ago being in Canada.. Oh well. Maybe the rubber piece will turn up.

lost my bluetooth headset, and my antenna cover in two days, what next..

Well,you could tie a string to the headset,and glue in the rubber plug.....LOL
Seriously though,I have also used a rubber plug from an inkjet cartridge refill kit. They have several different sizes in the kit. If you have one of these kits already,you can rob one from it!!
