Re: BT Keyboard problem
 
Well, eastern carolina usa, I find it difficult to believe! My keyboard works entirely differently than it did when I bought it. I'm convinced it experienced a change in the firmware. And as reported by others with a similar problem, this didn't happen until the upgrade to OS2008, precisely. Now I am even afraid to purchase another keyboard, lest I spend money and have a similar problem with a new board. (Mike! central carolina usa)

Well, jopagiii, I have to say that what you said kept nagging me. So, I gave it another 20 minutes, egged on by what you said, and succeeded at pairing up. It makes one to feel - dumb! I don't know what happened bad, unless I was getting repeating characters that I didn't want; you know, the extra ones that sneak in there if you don't release the key soon enough. Or maybe I wasn't pressing enter. However, thanks! Nevertheless, I found a cheap fullsize BT/KB that I thought I would try. I like the compactness of the Stowaway for traveling, however, I like the finger comfort and reduced key-combination of a full sized board. Besides, I don't want to wear out the Stowaway.

No, they just put a 20-minute counter before it works. It's not about selling their keyboards, it's about teaching patience...

Glad you got it!

Well, I decided to reflash my n800 today. Still didnt pair at first. I tried pairing through the 'Bluetooth Keyboard' setting, nothing. I paired through Bluetooth and new device and it worked fine =D No idea why it wont work the other way or why not at first, but its good now =]

My favorite thread on this forum for this problem. You have to read it from start to finish to appreciate it. (IMHO). I have a laser keyboard and a stowaway ultra slim. My favorite is the ultra slim.
