I'm looking to get a wireless keyboard for my 770. Any advice on a model I should lean towards?
I've seen the Dell Bluetooth Keyboard (DH953) and Microsoft Keyboard Elite for good prices. I just don't know if they are HID friendly or will stay paired/connected consistently.

Here's an old thread on the topic (http://www.internettablettalk.com/forums/showthread.php?t=165).
I can confirm that the ThinkOutside Stowaway Bluetooth Keyboard works (model XTBT01), as I was using it a few minutes ago. :)

(Okay, my first post -- here goes...)
The Nokia SU-8W Bluetooth keyboard also works great, with the driver from Maemo.org
(Phew!)

Ok, I have this (http://770.fs-security.com/maemo-bt-plugin/)driver installed and bought a dell rebranded stowaway XTBT01 keyboard.
I'm not sure if it's the keyboard or the driver that is giving me trouble. When I first rebooted and attempted to find the device the 770 kept crashing. After about a half dozen attempts, I went straight to pairing and it only took me 3 crashes and 3 other failed attempts to get it paired.
Now that it's paired though, the 770 still is not accepting input into text boxes. In order to pair successfully I had to type the key pass onto the keyboard that was displayed on the 770. So you'd think it was communicating properly. I've tryed most every key on the keyboard but it gives me no response on screen.

Tryed out the serial driver and of course failed navigating to the extracted folder after reboot... so I went back to the HID driver.
I guess it was working all along. Took my keyboard out of discovery and opened a browser window and it just worked.
I was testing it on the desktop google bar before.
