Re: Igo BlueTooth Keyboard 29.99
 

The $27.99 deal was a 'Gold Box Special' (which has since expired, I think). The regular price is back up to $59.95. But I'm sure the n800 and bluetooth keyboards will continue to fluctuate in price during December, right? I have a feeling this forum will be very busy. :)

the 29.99 deal is back (i.e. amazon has them in stock again, the 59.99 price was from an amazon partner)

So what's the pairing procedure? I install the keyboard batteries, open it, and go to select a bluetooth device on the N800 OS2007 control panel. All I get is the message "no devices found." I selected the 105 key keyboard as well. Nothing. How do I know if the keyboard is on?

nevermind: CTRL + LEFT FN + RIGHT FN on the keyboard.

Doesn't look like it, unless it sold out again in a day.

Darn! I can attest to seeing it yesterday. I need to be faster. :(

I got mine today. It works (Im running OS 2007 on N800).

Pairing procedure:
1. Go into menu: Tools -> Control Panel
2. Tap on Bluetooth
3. If Bluetooth is off, tap "Bluetooth on" checkbox
4. Now tap "Devices"
5. On the Stowaway keyboard, hold down CTRL LEFT-FN RIGHT-FN until you see the green LED above the "T" key flashing once per second.
6. On the Nokia, Click "New" and wait a few seconds while it finds and identifies your keyboard (comes up as "Think Outside Keyboard").
7. Tap on the entry for the keyboard, you will see a dialog box showing a four digit code.
8. Tap OK on the Nokia and on the keyboard type the four digit code and press Return.
9. The pairing should complete after a few seconds.


And for the record, I can also verify that the procedure is similar for the Apple (aluminum) wireless bluetooth keyboards (which is suprisingly compact but not foldable of course) - except you dont need to mess with CTRL LEFT-FN RIGHT-FN. The Apple keyboard is beautiful.


I have both of these keyboards working nicely:

I will add my two cents. I have an N770 running OS2006. I go my XTBTUEI keyboard today. The $29.99 one on Amazon. This is not the XTBTUE model, whatever the difference may be.

All I did to get it to work was install the Bluetooth plugin. As I understand it, I only need to do this because I am using an N770 and OS2006. I opened the keyboard, put in the batteries, pressed and held ctrl-blue-green and told the Internet Tablet to connect. It did, and I could type. That is all there was to it, so I can also confirm this "Blackberry" model works fine.

A couple of other notes, when I got the actual keyboard, there was no mention of the Blackberry on the original packaging. The only place it was mentioned at all was on a barcode sticker stuck over the original barcode on the back. The original packaging on the front actually says ...
Ultra-Slim Bluetooth Keyboard for Smartphones
and on the back it says...
Truly Universal - works with almost any bluetooth enabled device.

So it looks, to me anyway, that it is just a regular bluetooth keyboard with maybe some special printing on some of the keys associated with smartphones.

Hope this helps anyone thinking about picking one up.
