[QUOTE=Rocketman]I have been holding off on buying a bluetooth keyboard for use with my 770, largely due to all the reports I have seen on this site of crashing with the unofficial bluetooth plugin. From what I have been able to gather, it sounds like the plugin makers have been unable to properly work around these problems due to some problems with the way the maemo platform handles input selection (please correct me if I am wrong).
Apparently the plugin makers have fixed it but just haven't repackaged it. Even with this bug the keyboard (it is HID) connects and works very well with no configuration at all (unless you want it to be qwertz, which is a trivial configuration that the plugin handles). If you do decide to get a kb I recommend the Think Outside Sierra.
I hear you on the rest of what you said though. I think that if as many people (or even 1/16th) owned a 770 as do a Linux box, we wouldn't be having these issues. We'd just be going to sourceforge and downloading whatever app we wanted. IMO...
