I've been using the Nokia SU-8W keyboard for quite a long time now and it's been absolutely fine, never had a problem with it. It's quite expensive in some retailers though, so shop around or get one from ebay.

Taake a look at what these websites say.... 'works with windows xp', 'works withh osx'... I think you are being a bit idealistic just to say if there is a sstandard, then it should work. not the case with the more generic bt standard. It is like saying linux should work on any personal ccomputer, but it is actually very, very difficult to find a venor computter thar is 100% feaature compatible! Thankfully, home users have startted demanding venndor assurances and support for linux configrations, and people can buy linux solutions, like the NIT!

So you'd be happy with one supported for Linux, not for N800? That's not what you'd initially said; you might catch one of those.

So far, I have not heard of one BT keyboard claiming HID compliance that doesn't work, so my idealism seems to match reality. There are problems, but all the problems I've seen involve either non-HID keyboards, or problems with the N800's software (which affect any keyboard).

I'm not sure what you mean by You've got two issues in this that make it very hard to see a similarity:

1. There's a huge difference between saying an OS will work on any computer and saying that it's 100% feature compatible (by which I understand you to mean that all integrated and bundled peripherals may be exercised from that OS).
2. You don't reference any standard that the computer is stated by the manufacturer to comply to, and that Linux is also stated to comply to. If there is such a standard, then you'd expect all functionality required by the standard to work; if not, then it should not be surprising that some stuff doesn't. In reality, there are a good number of standards regarding BIOS, PCI, USB, etc., that the PC complies with, and Linux supports them. The troubles that are run into with some computers are generally from proprietary devices with functionality not defined by any standard.

The only keyboard problems I've heard of have been to do with the procedure each model uses for pairing, because this seems to vary from one manufacturer to another. However, once the pairing has been done HID keyboards usually work fine, so the HID standard itself does seem to work with the tablets.

only issue i have had with my freedom universal was that they had moved a key without actually rewiring its signal. had to alter the keymap used by the tablet...

beyond that i would say its a ok alternative to the igo. also, the issue i had may not exist on the english one as im using a variant for nordic contries...
