I guess, I've gotten so used to using the builtin stand that first thing I did is remove the keyboard's stand because I had deemed it unnecessary 
Ok now one more question... Are you guys just leaving BlueTooth on all the time? If so is it adversely affecting your battery life when it's not actively connected to the keyboard (ie: icon is white vs icon is blue when connected)? If not, is there an easier way to turn on the antennae than going into control panel?

And no, there is no easier way (yet). In the previous model, the 770, BT was basically hacked by users. That applet had a persistent BT icon and single-click functionality.
But when the geniuses at Nokia (this is sarcasm, BTW) copied their efforts, they thought it would be fun to make it less useful, and it has remained crippled until today.

This PDA version has extra blue "functions" for win-ce and palmos, which don't apply to the Nokia, nor a normal windows, mac, or linux box, but it might be interesting to see if there are keycodes which can be xmodmapped. I think the more expensive version simply doesn't have these other labels. (Things like Phone, ToDo, Apps, Calc, Find).
The normal keys are all there and work and the keyboard has normal sized keys if overloaded functions.
BlueFunction +
F = menu button
H = FullScreen
J = Zoom+
K = Zoom-
And many apps have control and/or alt key shortcuts which work.
The only thing which really annoyed me is the how to open/close sticker which had a very aggressive adhesive which I probably won't get completely off for a week.

Re: that sticker - in another thread, General Antilles recommended Ronsonol lighter fluid to remove the adhesive. I'm going to give that a try when my keyboard arrives, because from what everyone says, that adhesive is really stubborn.

Can you do anything on the cost of P&P to Ireland?
