As I understand from this thread that the Think Outside BT keyboard works with 770, I ordered a promotion from Expansis.com (UK) of a TO BT keyboard and Mini BT mouse for a total of 73GBP (inc. VAT.) Ex VAT it appears that the deal is 38GBP for the keyboard and 20GBP for the mouse; seems a heck of a lot cheaper than any other BT KB's out there. I've no idea if the mouse is currently supported on the 770, but what the hell. Delivered within 24 hours. Now I'm only waiting for my 770.

I just got my 770 at CompUSA tonight along with a Stowaway keyboard. I finally got the BT keyboard driver installed and it sort of works, but there are some issues.

In particular, if I press any of the function keys (which are necessary to access any of the number keys), it prints "=". This makes the keyboard close to unusable, as you have to go back and delete all of the equals signs every time you try to type any characters that require a function key.

Has anybody else had this problem, or figured out a way around it?

Is anyone doing anything to get the Apple BT keyboard working with this module?

My experiences:
  1. ThinkOutside BT Keyboard - XTBT01 - tested, works with driver **a
  2. not tested.
  3. not tested.
  4. not tested.
  5. Logitech MX 5000
    • keyboard - tested, works with driver **a
    • mouse - not tested
    • BT interconnect - not tested

i tried my apple bt keyboard and it doesn't work either, i read on apple's website that the keyboard only supports mac os 10.2.6 and higher and no support for other operating systems that is probably why it doesn't work

I've got a freedom mini with that driver and most of the time, it works fine. I've noticed that inside some webforms, the shifted chars and punctation don't work.

A good example is in blogger. You can't use any orange keys inside the add text to your post window. They just type a weird square.

Returned the Nokia BT keyboard, bought a Think Outside Stowaway, and the only issue I've had with is the inablilty to enter numbers and symbols into large text entry forms in web pages. Single line text, like for Google, no problem, but for our Exchange server email, its a bit problematic, but I can live with it. Ergonomically, the Think Outside keyboard is much better for me, with larger keys, longer key travel, and locks into place. Also, the supplied removable stand will support the 770, while the Nokia would not. Additionally, the Think Outside keyboard has a fully supported driver for my Treo 650, while the Nokia while it worked mostly, was somewhat problematic also in web text areas.
