Just in case this is not old news to some N800 owners, you can use the bluetooth keyboard marketed by DELL for their Axxim PDA, pn is XTBT01.

It? really a rebadge ThinkOutside Stowaway foldable keyboard that is quite compact. Pairing was a breeze with the pdf instructions I found on the DELL site.

Once paired, I could type just fine. Since itīs not a full keyboard, you have to use the blue fn keys for numbers and the green fn keys for symbols and characters.

Best part is that it?ī$49.99 on the dell site. I got mine from ebay but you get the idea.

Can't find that one on the Dell site (US or Canada) anymore. Now they have the XTBTUE for $96.

that's weird since I did the lookup just hours ago! now the only hit that comes up is the manual for it....damn. Sorry about that. However, they do seem to be available on ebay:

The specifications say "SPP" Profile rather than "HID", which I take to mean it would require a separate software driver to operate correctly.

Hey i just found this keyboard and i wonder if the only think that matters is the HID service of the keyboard in order to link it to n800.

I got my iGo Stowaway Ultra-Slim today ($29 on Amazon!). It works (Im running OS 2007 on N800).

Pairing procedure:
1. Go into menu: Tools -> Control Panel
2. Tap on Bluetooth
3. If Bluetooth is off, tap "Bluetooth on" checkbox
4. Now tap "Devices"
5. On the Stowaway keyboard, hold down CTRL LEFT-FN RIGHT-FN until you see the green LED above the "T" key flashing once per second.
6. On the Nokia, Click "New" and wait a few seconds while it finds and identifies your keyboard (comes up as "Think Outside Keyboard").
7. Tap on the entry for the keyboard, you will see a dialog box showing a four digit code.
8. Tap OK on the Nokia and on the keyboard type the four digit code and press Return.
9. The pairing should complete after a few seconds.


And for the record, I can also verify that the procedure is similar for the Apple (aluminum) wireless bluetooth keyboards (which is suprisingly compact but not foldable of course) - except you dont need to mess with CTRL LEFT-FN RIGHT-FN. The Apple keyboard is beautiful.


I have both of these keyboards working nicely:
