will this work with the N900 too? and do you think it's better than that white keyboard Nokia released a long time ago?

Re: New Mini USB Keyboard
 

I dont think the N900 will support usb hosting. N900 is not yet available here in my country so no hope of testing it.

I bought the Nokia keyboard for full price. My assumption was that it was most likely to work correctly with the N810. Silly me. The size is great but there are some serious problems with it. I frequently get bursts of repeated keys. Changing the keyboard repeat timeout had no effect. That made it unusable for me. Also it was designed for a Nokia cell phone and has function keys that perform no function on the N810 and is likewise missing the function keys on the N810. I hope you have better luck. The tablet's slide down keyboard is fine for data entry but not up to writing. I plan to get one of these little USB keyboards.

Re: New Mini USB Keyboard
 

Burst of repeated keys is not limited to the Nokia bluetooth keyboard. I've had those on both of my bluetooth keyboards when used with the N810 (apple and a stowaway). I've always assumed it was a driver problem on the N810 side.

Please see bug 2850, "On screen keyboard dooesn't always realise that bluetooth keyboard has been connected or disconnected".

Has anyone tried one of these foldable keyboards?

I tried a rubber folding keyboard for Palm once, not dissimilar. Whilst it worked, the responsive was pretty poor and meant you had to type slowly and carefully. I would hope the one above is better, but I'd not buy one and chance it.

Re: New Mini USB Keyboard
 

The small USB keyboard I ordered worked well but only for a while. The miniUSB connector in the keyboard fell apart. Cheap is unfortunately not a good deal -- just cheap.

I wouldn't call that "foldable", I'd call that "rollable" or "flexible".

For Foldable, I have the Matias USB, and an iGo Bluetooth. I prefer the Matias (full size when opened up, no worries about batteries, etc.). I haven't tried it on my NITs though, only on my Netbook.

The Matias is at:

I like it quite a bit :-)
