providing you have bluetooth and can setup a sync over activesync it works fine on Vista and XP Sp2, you can use the USB cable but wheres the fun in that.

On the advice of some people here, I bought a Targus IR keyboard, and was disappointed to see it doesn't work right on WM 2003. I put it on my i-mate, no luck (it actually repeatedly soft-reset my i-mate), then on my old T-Mobile Pocket PC, and it doesn't work (WM 2003, 4.0.5), downgraded my T-mo back to 3.14 and it works fine.
Does anyone else have one of these working on WM 2003?
Yes. See review here:

still searching
The review really didn't tell me anything new.. i'm still looking for a way to get this thing working on the XDA or XDA II with Windows Mobile 2003.

Targus won't work with my XDA
I have bought a Targus Universal wireless keyboard on the strength of people on this forum saying it works.
I can not get it to work with my XDA I. I tried the latest driver from targus. I even got rid of my custom cooked ROM and put a standard O2 UK ROM on.
When I enable the keyboard my XDA slows down so much it becomes unuseable. If I tap for the start menu it takes about 5 seconds to appear and everything else is just as slow. The XDA does not register anything if I press any keys on the keyboard. Even if I then use the program to disable the keyboard my XDA is to slow to use unitl I do a reset.
Can anyone help as I really don't want to have to try and return the keyboard.
Thanks
Stuart
That slowing down feature is the same as when you try to choose the irda port when using tomtom, I understand its to do with the xda not setting up a virtual port and addressing the port direct, I am no expert and have asked numerous questions about the irda port on xda but never got any answers, on the ipaq the irda shows up as "generic irda" and works great, however on xda it shows as "infrared port" or similar, when a program attempts to acces it the slow down/crash happens.
anyone can advise on less bulky keyboard for XDA I ....
(in ideal world I would additionally say) that works on WM2003
any ideas ??
regards, monika
Targus IR Keyboard with XDA1 + ROM 2002 NOT OK (Different Rom Versions)
Targus IR Keyboard with XDA2 + ROM 2003 NOT OK (Different ROM Versions)
Targus IR Keyboard with XDA1 + ROM 2003 OK. Tested by me with latest Tmobile RUU 4.01.00 and IRKeybd Driver Ver 1.25
thanx for the clarification but can you advise also on .....
something in terms of keyboard that is smaller that is working on WM2003 pls ???
regards
monika
As for the IR keyboard, I only tested Targus, which is somewhat bulky, as you say, but works with XDA 1 and WM2003 (Latest ROM version T-Mobile 4.01.00)
As for standard keyboard (with normal XDA connector, not IR) I have tested the G7B0 which is much slimmer and had no problems at all. It also has a plus: you can charge your XDA while connected to the keyboard with your normal standard charger and the keyboard itself does not need batteries, like the IR ones.
As for the Minus, compared to the Targus one, you will be missing: the emulated mouse, but then..., you are asking for a keyboard, not a mouse
thank you for your input
I might consider give it a try
regards, monika
I upgraded to the latest 4.01.00 ROM and indeed the Targus keyboard now works like a dream.
I had put of upgrading to WM2003 as I tried a while back and could not get GPRS working (O2 UK). This time I have managed to get it working but it does seem slower don't know why.
Thanks for your help

you're most welcome :wink:
I bought a Belkin wireless keyboard (F8U1500), but the keyboard drivers don't work with Windows Mobile 5.
Does anybody have any ideas on a good keyboard that will work with the Wizard? I want to do some writing, and lugging my laptop around is a pain.
Thanks.
How about using the one that comes with it
Why would you buy a wizard if you didn't want the keyboard. You should have gone for a JAM.
Well, first off, you can't actually type on that keyboard. You can peck, you can poke, and you can thumb, but there will be no writing of books or articles on that thing. It's too small.
Second, you can't buy a Jam or any of the other HTC handsets in the US. You get the two variants of Wizard, and that's it.
I could have gotten a WM2003 based machine, but there were specific features of WM5 that I wanted: the extended battery life and the non-volatile memory are at the top of my list. I've used Pocket PC's and Palm OS PDA's in the past, and I've always been worried about the batteries dying and losing my data - it happened once, and wouldn't you know I'd been using it heavily the day before.
Even at $500 (I didn't get an activation discount because of stupid recordkeeping on T-Mobile's part), the Wizard is still a good deal. I just looked up a Jam, and it's over $600.
Finally, I didn't know about the Jam, or any of the other HTC products until after I purchased the T-Mobile MDA. I like this product, and I wouldn't trade it for any other PDA I've seen - except maybe Cingular's variant, since I like their keyboard better.
Either way, the fact remains: I need a keyboard that's compatible with my Wizard, and giving me a hard time about what I "should have" bought doesn't help.
If anyone has any serious suggestions, I'd love to hear them.
Thanks.
I use the ThinkOutside Bluetooth keyboard and mouse with my 8125, and the Qtek 9100 I had before it. Work very well togehter.

They just released new BT drivers 4-20-06. So far it has seemed to fix the power button issue that myself and others have experienced. I really love this keyboard now!
Steven
thanks a lot for the update on the driver
i'll update mine now
I have an apple BT wireles keyboard.
Are there any drivers I can use to pair it with my Vario?. The Vario can find it, but doesn't offer any services to use.
(My apple wireless mouse pairs and is identified as a HID, but there is no mouse pointer on screen!!)
does the touch pro 2 have the ability to use a mouse with it ???
USB is a host/client interface. The TP2 is a client, not a host, so no. I am curious about it's ability to use bluetooth peripherals though, would be cool to use blue tooth game pads with emulators.
I thought the input of the TP2 was called Mini-USB? So why can't a (mini)-usb device work together with the TP2 per definition?
Mini-usb is a connector size. USB is a host-client interface (one device is the HOST, one is the CLIENT), and your phone only works as a CLIENT, not a HOST. The hardware is actually different.
Some phones actually DO have the HOST hardware included, but no drivers included to make it work. There was a USB-HOST set of drivers hanging around here somewhere for some phones, but I don't know if anyone's ever tried with the rhodium.
somewhere reported as non functioning
do you think it might work with a bt mouse?? used to have one for htc universal... simply fantastic!! where to find drivers though? I lost the cd coming with it..
years ago I have had a bt mouse with on WM. Cant remember what the mouse was called or the software it used, But I still have it at home somewhere. I could check. Maybe storeaway, would that be it? It was cool to have a little cross on the screen.

Stowaway probably... mine is called "stowaway bluetooth travel mouse"!
if we find the drivers, and if it is compatible with wm6.1 / wvga and all the rest, we could manage to use the TP2 as a little netbook, like the old good days with the htc universal! that would be simply great!
I don't actually have TP2 yet, but there's a piece of software called Bluemouse, which is supposed to let you use a Bluetooth mouse with your device, and there's a trial which you can use to see if it works or not. As for the Zeno USB host drivers, apparently they don't work with the TP2, nor most of the HTCs with Qualcomm chipsets, since there is no host capability.

I used this headset with my diamond, but now i got the dream and would like to use this headset, but when i plug it in nothing happens. Does anyone have an idea where i can find the drivers for it? is it even possible?
the thing is i need to use in ear headphones can't stand the standard ones anymore
sorry it wont work its like trying to use a windows driver on linux
... but in myTouch3G and HTC hero it works.. so there isn't a way to port driver of mytouch3G to G1?
http://store.phandroid.com/htc-wired-remote-control-stereo-headset/11A29A5242.htm
Edit:
In HTC store is listed under HTC hero: http://www.htcaccessorystore.com/uk/p_htc_phonecat.aspx?i=184805&c=15
So hero have the driver!
But G1 hero roms have the driver too?
And the driver can't be ported to G1 roms with an update.zip?
hi,just want to know if you found a way to use the remote control on G1
Anyone out there who has experience with the Hero and a Nokia carkit?
I have a nice 'voucher' lying around for a complete build-in of a Nokia carkit, the CK-100 (with Brodit active holder and such, nice stuff for the car!).
Does anyone have experience with the CK-100 in combination with a Hero? And if so, what is the call quality like. And does the A2DP work correctly?
I've read before on another site that people said the CK-7W paired and worked correctly. But if someone has experience with the CK-7W, please tell me (us) here as well!
Would be a shame to get that carkit in my car and being unable to use it .
Hello,
i've just created a new topic about some equivalent questions/problems. Sorry for that.
I am not able to pair my Hero with the CK-7W. I don't know why but the handsfree set doesn't occur in the list of available devices at all. So no chance to pair for me...
The Procedure: Activate bluetooth on the Hero an search for devices --> switch on the board voltage and set the handsfree set into pairing mode --> usually the Hero should find the handsfree set but it doesn't
With the HTC TyTN II aka Kaiser i had before it worked fine.
