I have found this Brando mini bluetooth keyboard. But wonder if anyone have tried it or know how I could find out if it would work with the N800.

My plan is to make a cind of wallet where the keyboard is on one part and the N800 on the other.
Then I get the keyboard attached to the N800 in a way that it is possible to use the keyboard when surfing on the sofa. Since laying there with both the N800 and holding the keyboard I am guessing it is not the best solution.

Actually the only thing that makes me want the N810 is the HW keyboard.. but I guess the price is not worth the difference.
Depends on how much you use the keyboard. There's a review that says the bando isn't big enough to touchtype:

For me, I need a keyboard large enough to touchtype, as I take a lot of notes on my n800. I am using a "Think Outside", which works well except numbers (a Fn key must be pressed). It is about 1.5 cm wider than the n800, but thinner.

I have not regretted getting the "Think Outside"

I hope this helps,

Craig...
