I'd rather not give any money to Apple.

And 79$ is just crazy. I mean why can't they make one thats like 30$?

Oh well, I suppose I'll be trying the USB Keyboard then.

EDIT: On another note, Does anyone know if this would work?

Yes, it works, as mentioned elsewhere in this forum. However, the new Apple BT KB is much slicker, lighter and much easier to travel around. The price is quite good compared to what you have to pay for the popular Stowaway BT KB (including the ultra slim, which is $120).

And if you want a credit card sized keyboard:
http://www.amazon.com/FREEDOM-KEYBOA.../dp/B000TNPCEC

And you might be able to pull this out from somewhere when you are wearing only your skin :)

To quote a recent comment from the Amazon website:

This product was supposed to be blue tooth compatible but had so many bugs in the software it was impossible to make it work with my phone. Coupled with the greatest example fo customer NO SERVICE from their service operation, I think this company should be sent to the scrap heap of tech companies that make junk products.

In order to set up this keyboard, a person needed to download software from their web site. But the software was not where it was supposed to be and, when finally located, didn't work.

There were two comments there, one was moderately favorable
"No problems setting up and using this device out of box with my N800, 8525/phone and other bluetooth devices like my tablet pc.

Only issues were with keyboard mapping and keys present. Would be nice to have arrow keys without having to hold down function key."

The other was not.

Anyways, I'd love to find a nice bluetooth keyboard that works with the N800 for about 20$, but I can go higher.

On ebay in October I was able to pick up a Think Outside Stowaway Universal Bluetooth Keyboard for $35 (plus $10 shipping.).

Almost half the usual price.

So there are still deals out there.

It's a great unit and I highly reccomend it.

OK Guys, I took the Jump!

I bought an Apple Wireless Pro Keyboard Refurbished from Apple.

Now I'm confused as hell, lol. I go into pair it with the N800, (after turning it on), It recognizes it, But they just can't pair. It gives me a different Passcode every time.

Has anyone else done this? Anybody have a clue what to do?

FYI, just saw the Igo Ultra-Slim Bluetooth keyboard at Amazon.com for 29.99 shipped no taxes....

I have seen this keyboard also named the Dell and Stowaway models.
:D
