Hello!
I bought my 770 IT second hand, and just love it! I use it as a replacement for my laptop, and am hoping to start doing some programming on it. That said, I bought a Stowaway shasta Bluetooth keyboard at a CompUSA going-out-of-business sale for $30. It is brand new, and while it said for Blackberry, I thought Bluetooth was Bluetooth, kind of like Wi-Fi is Wi-Fi, right? Well, then I found out the difference, and now I want to find out if there is a driver I can install for this keyboard, or do I just sell the keyboard and buy a HID compatible one? I don't like the prices of the ones I have seen on eBay, so I was hoping for a solution that would allow me to use this keyboard. That's the joy of open source and linux right? Thanks for the info!

I never tried them myself, so further requests for info or support should be directed to Fanoush.

Yup... did the same thing myself.
Oh the difference "Shasta" is from "Universal"
I have a Think Outside Stowaway Universal now and love it.
I'll be interested to hear if you find a way to make the Shasta work.

I just got my Stowaway Sierra bluetooth keyboard and while pricey, it is very good. I reccommend it without reservations, but I would be interested in hearing more about the Shasta

I would love to get a foldable BT keyboard.. but I want one with national letters. The only one I know about doesn't use HID. I could probably use a German one and re-label it somehow, but the US layout is physically different and would be inconvenient. But I can't find any German (or any non-US) version of the Stoway, for example. (Small "arrgh.." is there a smiley for those kind of utterings?)

The Stowaway QWERTZ version is not usable. No bluetooth problems, but keys are incorrectly mapped and this cannot be fixed in HID mode. See related thread in this forum.

yep, I also had a language problem and when i tried switching the keyboard to russian the stowaway continued to print english letters. also, there is no pointer of any kind on this keyboard so it is a pain to have to constantly grab the stylus to navigate the windowa. has anyone found a solution for that?
Cheers!
Cheers!
