I use the iGo Stowaway Ultra-Slim BT Keyboard with my N800. I mostly using it for long emails when I'm on the road and entering data into gnumeric. It's a bit of a pain to carry around the KB for day to day use (it's larger than the N800), but for road trips where I know I won't have a laptop/desktop around, it's indispensable.

Also, it's very handy when working in Xterm and the ocassional abiword/note document.

Palm 3245WW
5-row diptych
~$60 new

anybody tried the dinovo mini by logitech? some feature may not work(ie mose emulation) but its a damn nice looking keyboard...

looks like they run from 125-165$ shipped very hot just released in the last 60 days or so...

bhang

ps,
I just left my ultra slim IGO on the bus with 2 1gb sd cards 2 pair of pretty nice headphones and a sd card reader... wah!

I have an iGo Stowaway bt keyboard, while I do not used it much except when I don't have a laptop/desktop around. It also works very well with my symbian phone which I use it more for. BTW, I use SSH with Winscp & Putty on my desktop/laptop so I can cut and paste from documents...even this forum...which is easier then typing IMHO even on the N810 with or without the BT keyboard.

Damn that sucks. I haven't used it, though there was a blog about it working with the n810 (had to remap some buttons on there since those functions didn't exist on the n810) but it worked otherwise.

another iGo Stowaway for something around $35 from Amazon. Not over joyed with the layout as I should have spent a bit more for the 5-row I think. But I am thrilled with the key travel. I type ALOT and keyboard feel is one of the few things I am fussy about. And the iGo 4-row has the feel I like. I still might find a new 5-row on eBay just to see which I prefer.

Right now though I have a problem with the keyboard no longer auto-paring with my N800. But there is a thread around here somewhere for when I have time to fix that snafu.

bhang: DUDE...that completely sux!! Do we need to have a get bhang a new keyboard drive? hehehehe, hey laugh about it or the worry will make ya crazy, right?

I looked at that new Logitech keyboard and it seems not much bigger then the tablet's thumb keyboard as well as the N810's slide out. So I am not sure how much of an improvement it would be as a true keyboard for typing. But it is kinda slick looking though not intended for lots of typing at just 5" or 6" in size. Watch the video and you can see the size in relation to the person's hands...teeny.

The Targus silicone flexible USB keyboard is a good match to my n800

as is this one (only 8 inches long) http://cgi.ebay.ca/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?...m=190214052071 (paid 20$ shipping included from HonKong)

then I just ordered from ebay a new in box USB thumb keyboard originaly made in 2005 for the Sony Playstation 2; paid peanuts on ebay (15$)

from another user :




the USB keyboard is realy making my n800 move to the micro-laptop niche when running PenguinBait's KDE

I have an igo - 4 rows, folds in half. Use it alot. Take notes in Notes and Vim. Xterm stuff. The '/' key is in an odd place. I'm constantly hitting up arrow when i want one. But i touch type numbers now (blue shift top row) and most symbols (green shift). Full ASCII, but wish it had 'F' function keys.

Also log into my n800 via WiFi from my Linux desktop. Real keyboards are better. It'd be nice if that could be done, say from a WiFi laptop without a router. Peer to peer. Then, maybe an eepc could be used as a portable keyboard sometimes.

I also use an igo bluetooth... works great! Paid $42 for it on ebay, new in blister pack. very pleased to replace my older think outside that I had killed using with my lifedrive, and palm TX.

My friend just gave me his iGo (he doesn't use his tablet as much anymore since he uses a laptop in class. Before he'd use his n800 + iGo.

So I use it now .
