I also got the hardware keyboard fixkbdfocus trick to work, though I will try to find out how to make a shortcut icon that launches it with the command. It's pretty tedious to do every time.

The one remaining problem with BlueMaemo then is that the hardware keyboard function (blue) keys don't map to the correct characters. They're in a completely different arrangement! (The one from 810 maybe?) My workaround for this is to open the Bluemaemo soft keyboard on its special character page and use those. Works well enough I suppose, but a bit irritating. Did anyone ever find a fix for that?
Yes, there is definitely some conflict with Power Kernel 49; without it (rebooting into stock kernel, haven't tried on other power kernel versions) I got everything up and running superbly! Thanks for all the great advice and hints in this thread. For me in connecting to Windows 7, it didn't work to connect to Win7 from the device -- only to put Bluemaemo in wait for connection mode and then initiate the connection from Win7 - then everything worked perfect.

edit: just installed power kernel v pre50 (http://talk.maemo.org/showpost.php?p...postcount=2904) and it's working just as smooth as on stock. So either the problem has been solved in the new kernel or it was just a weird quirk, I suppose.
