You're thinking of the 36xx/37xx units. The 38xx/39xx have a different stylus retention mechanism: they use just friction, and the clicker just pushes it up to make it easier to grab.

Reinaldo, it sounds either like the clicker/spring lock is busted--or you tend to upend your iPaq alot. It's important to note that it's by design that shaking loosens the stylus, although in my 3870 it's a fairly hard shake that does that.
