Hi all,

I remember many months ago the n900 had issues with bluetooth keyboards and compatibility... Has anything changed?

Can anyone recommend a good folding BT keyboard? I want to pull it out in class and edit word and powerpoint documents...

Asuming I purchase the appropriate documents software, is this possible?

Thank you.

I've been using iGo Ultra-Slim stowaway BT keyboard for years now, and I love it! It folds into a very neat package and is big enough to type comfortably. I don't know about compatibility issues, because I'm using a N800, but I highly recommend the keyboard.

Unfortunately, working well with the N800 doesn't indicate anything about the N900. Even the estimable Qole mentioned somewhere that he had quite a tussle getting his N900 working with a BT keyboard. It has been done, but it's not easy, apparently. There's a big thread on the subject somewhere.

I will look for the thread.

Anyone else tried this?

I've got the iGo Ultra-slim stowaway keyboard and it works great apart from the fact I can't use some punctuation keys (but I've not really looked into this) and the fact it can take a few connection attempts to get it working; this normally involves deleting the bluetooth profile and re-pairing.

Keyboard when folded out is the same size as my netbook, and they keys are fab!
Really easy to type on.

I've got a Palm BT KB, and the whole "it can take a few connection attempts to get it working; this normally involves deleting the bluetooth profile and re-pairing" has soured me on trying to use bluetooth keyboards with the n900.

What I would like would be a foldable plastic keyboard without BT.

I'searching for a keyboard that you put on the hardware keyboard. It would manually hit the hardware keyboard of the n900
