Ok, I did do a search, but got a lot of hits that really didn't come back with what I was looking for. So please don't ban me. :p

Here's the deal. About last week, my rubber flexi usb keyboard which I used with my N800 died. (Don't know why, tried my home keyboard and it worked fine on the N800.)

So I need a replacement.

Does anyone have any suggestions? Cheaper the better, but price really isn't an issue.

And BTW: I'm new. :cool: Thought I'd introduce myself while I'm at it. The names Mike, but my sign in name here is "That N800 Guy". I carry my N800 around religiously. ;) Work in Europe, but am born and raised in California. I'm pushing my thirties, and hating the idea that within a few more years, I'll be "Over the hill" as they say. :eek:

Thanks for the suggestions, and thanks for having me! :D

This is a very mini keyboard and is probably a bit more than you want to spend. But I thought I'd throw it out there.

I've looked at the Logitech one before, too small for me to use extensively. I like the Apple wireless keyboard, but would love it if it had USB.

Any more suggestions?

Check out some of the stuff on dealextreme.com . I haven't shopped there, but they certainly seem to have a lot of options...

I bought one of those when they were $30.

I'm warming up to the iGo keyboard. :) Gonna wait a little while and see if any specials pop up! :)

Thanks for the help guys.

Bear in mind the iGo is 4-row, and can wobble side-to-side because the ends are unsupported. The Palm 3245WW is a nice 5-row, but it's not as rigid when it's not on the table, and it's just a bit thicker than the iGo when closed (but same width and height).

Thanks for the info Benson.

I'll keep my eyes open, and the first deal I come over, be it the Palm or the iGo, I'll go for it.

Currently, I'm using the regular touch screen to type emails, and it's a pain in the butt. :)
