nokia tablet, do you use a bluetooth keyboard?
 

my question is, do you use a bluetooth keyboard? what type, and how much did it cost you? is there any other alternative to bluetooth keyboards? can you for example have an adaptor and conect a normal keyboard? but woudl you need a driver software?

where can you find a cheapest deal for a bluetooth keyboard in UK or in USA is shipping is possible?
THANKS!

I use a BT keyboard when I'm writing long emails. iGo Stowaway Sierra (5-row, folds in three). They don't make them anymore (see earlier thread). Not sure what I paid, they weren't that cheap. The Sierra Ultraslim (4-row, folds in two), which they also stopped making, was sold very cheap when the stores were emptied.

There are a few other BT keyboards on the market still, but the choice has been severely limited now that the ThinkOutside keyboards are gone (as they were called before *$@ iGo bought them).

There are two main types of BT keyboards: HID profile, and serial profile. HID works out of the box, the serial profile needs an extra driver, but that works too.

I have a BT keyboard, one of the Dell-branded Stowaways, but I have to admit that I rarely -- if ever -- use it. I have yet to find a text processing program for the N800 that I feel comfortable with.

I use an addesso flexible keyboard when I do posts to one of my blogs and dont feel like opening the laptop (not often). One of the ongoing issues with that is that the screen dims even while you are typing (N800/ITOS2008) so you have to tap the screen to get it to light back up. Highly annoying. I cannot understand how, if the tablet is receiving input should it dim the screen.

Oh sorry forgot to mention that the keyboard is USB used with USBControl.

I use the iGo bluetooth stowaway keyboard. Well, I have one, I don't often use it.
But it was £17.99 from play.com

iGo BT Stowaway. Great tool, as long as you install the OS2008 patch to prevent the key bounce. Use it for those lengthy emails, notes, or forum entries. Also use it as a keyboard for SSH sessions back to my OpenVMS server at home.

Picked it up for $38(US) on eBay, new.

I have a BT Stowaway but much prefer the Apple A1255 which I got used from: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000V01RLK
