Canadian Accessories ???
Anyone know what the quickest way to obtain accessories for my AXE in Canada... specifically an extra stylus (or twelve)? I'm also thinking of getting an extra sync/charge cable and maybe a screen cover as well... but I really do need a stylus ASAP since I've lost mine. Would dell.ca be my best bet?

Thanks in advance.

Visit softpocket.ca or go to their Toronto Store.
Go there. They are good at keeping such accessories. They even have a 10% discount if you mention this site. Excellent guy.

softpocket.ca is the only "real" online store in Canada.

aximcase.com is US based, but they ship to canada too.

The only Canadian assys I know of is a Leafs theme and a embossed Molson screen protector (keeps you from spilling your beer or getting blood or ice from the game on your screen)

I would definately recommend www.softpocket.ca

They're a friendly, and quite competitively priced store in Toronto. It's great to be able to see an accessory before buying it.

It made me purchase the SENA case... It's more beautiful in person than in the pictures

Excellent... I called them up and I am good to go. I had to scramble back here to find the discount code.

I even managed to pick up a few goodies for my fiances Zire72.

Thanks very much all.

Actually, try out pda-mart.com. They are located in the Don Mills and Hwy401 area of Toronto in an office building. I've purchased product from them and picked it up from their office to save on the shipping. They are primarily mail-order though.

Thanks. Just looked. Sadly they have basicly nothing for Axim (Stylus, crapy screen protector and 1 crapy leather case)

I went to SoftPocket today, my workplace being just a short bus ride. Awfully nice place, but it's hidden by the tons of constructions going on in the area, and may be a bit hard to find.

In any case, they had this really helpful salesman who had me try on every different Sena case that they carried. I agree with the sentiment, it is really much more beautiful in person. Too bad they're out of the Magnum and all screen protectors.

I might just get a Sena, what with the discount and all.

Softpocket's pretty good but I'd suggest going there in person. The shipping they charged to ship within Canada hurts, $10 through Canada Post.
