I am not an electrical engineer either (I'm a highschool student)
and I think that it's more important to get the phone ready than
problems like "where the stylus will be attached?". In the end the
freerunner will be a developer and not an end user phone. Besides I
don't know how much the OpenMoko team is considering our suggestions (no
offence).

I don't think that a magnetic stylus would be such a good idea, because
any movement of the pen would create a current into every conductor existing
in its magnetic field (freerunner's circuits included). This current might
damage or disturb the phone itself.
I am not an electrical engineer, but I think that the voltage/current
produced from such a magnet would be negligible. But, even assuming
that it would not be harmful, isn't the case made of plastic? Is
there even enough ferrous material concentrated towards the back of
the neo to accomplish this?
The battery? AFAIK lots of phone holders have magnets that attach to the
battery through the back.
