I'm not sure, but since all Wacom pens work without batteries and use the same principle, it should be fine as long as both Wacom pens have the same (amount) of buttons (which i believe they all have).
Yeh, as far as I know Wacom does not let you use the same pen across its tablet ranges or later generations. To be safe get a replacement of the same model pen.
intuos pens will not work with bamboo tablets (unfortunately!), i'd be surprised if bamboo-on-bamboo wouldn't work, though. then again, they're out to make money, so there's that.
Wacom pens are almost never cross compatible, if the pen wasn't designed for that tablet it probably won't work.
There's not any sort of special technology behind the pen nibs - those you can use in whatever pen, or can even use a toothpick or something - but the pens need to be for the tablet, in every instance I've heard of.
iirc they have doubled pressure levels, so you currently have a no-tilt intuos 3 quality pen;
first bamboo models had 512 levels of pressure vs 1024, and wacom pens aren't cross-compatible if pressure difference takes place
(you could use graphire pens with older bamboo for example)
I was gonna Ask the same question here a few days ago because, I wanted to buy an Intous Pen to use with my Bamboo because they look great, and the shape of them are perfect for the way i hold Pencils/Pens
but when I found out the pressure sensitivity is in the Pen itself something told me, for the sake of business, and not customer comfort, it wasn't gonna happen.
