Hi, First time posting.
I am interested in purchasing the HTC Touch HD but would like to know if the unit will work with lets say the iGo Stowaway Ultra-Slim Bluetooth Keyboard.
Keep up the great work.

Thanks Blob8me
Is it worth purchasing? The keyboard that is. How convenient is it? How fast is the key response?
I had a kasier and really liked it. I am not sure that I will be able to work with just a touch screen.

Stowaway Ultra Slim Bluetooth Keyboard
I use the Stowaway Bluetooth Utra Slim keyboard with a HTC Touch HD. The Green RFn key seems not to be working, also, the key-layout printed on the keys does not correspond with the typed characters. Could you please advice? Thank you.

im still seeking a 'peel on / off the screen' silicon keyboard

I'm also looking for mobile keyboard. That iGo Stowaway looks ok, but there are no F-keys [F1 - F12]. Anyone knows bluetooth mobile keyboard with F-keys and right alt? Also touch pad like in Logitech diNovo Mini would be great.

There are no explicit F keys, but there are shortcuts for them I believe... I had the thinkoutside BT keyboard and I could toggle full screen (f11) but can't remember the three button combo.
Seriously, those of you with HD and keyboard, is responce time ok? I tried my thinkoutside keyboard before it died on me and I couldn't type normally as the HD wasn't registering the keypresses quick enough (I don't mean I'm a fast typer, but it had to be remedial for the HD to register all the keystrikes.)
Anyone advise on their experience with the HD, I have an I-GO on the way!

Got mine working perfectly! Great kb, fast pairing. No problems. Solved issues of driver by turning off the internal HID..

Mouse Pointer!!!!

Yeah!!
Windows Mobile 6 has the mouse pointer for USB mice!!!!
Cant even get mine working. MS Intellimouse Explorer for Bluetooth. Doesnt work.
No pointer, no movement either.
I guess its too much for MS to make their own products work together.
I have tried it with a trust usb mouse, plugged it in then reset device, worked smooth, really like the pointer. then I thought I wonder if my logitech wireless works, plugged it in and it works no problems, I am typing, this with the keyboard now. but the wireless mouse is excellent.
dude i used teksoft mouse software... i connected the mnd everything..and even the software started and i can click some things on the pocket pc and even scroll...BUT THE MOUSE POINTER JUST WON'T SHOW UP!!!
With my Logitech v270, it works flawlessly. With my Microsoft BT mouse I get nothing. Anyone wants to buy a Microsoft mouse? ;-)
No Thanks, I have one.
Thanks for driving up the ebay price on the Logitech V270 everybody

I had a problem with a Microsoft mouse also. I called Microsoft and they said their mice aren't compatible with Windows Mobile. LOL
Leave it up to Microcrap to do something this stupid.
I'm currently using an Anycom mouse and it works perfectly. Also looks much sexier than the Microcrap mice and is smaller, etc etc. This mouse works with native WM6 support and also BlueMouse software. I've since uninstalled BlueMouse since I don't need it any longer now that WM6 has native support.

You are asking the wrong question. Most people here support developers so you will make people upset. Go google elsewhere and who knows what you might come up with.
Joystick support?
Does anyone have a bluetooth joystick? I'm curious if it would work with this software, if yes I would buy one.

Mouse and Athena.... useless (except as wow effect) if you aren't using a TV or other external screen, a MUST on external screen!
In this case without a mouse you have to tap on the ATHENA screen when you are looking to the other screen! Really unconfortable
That's the reason I am using an USB mouse connected with the HTC 4 in 1 cable (expansys), (ext out and mouse) . Usb mouse are smaller than BT ones, no batteries to charge, some of them have retractable cable and the Athena power consumption is less

BT Thumb Keyboard

I'm looking for a small thumb-like bt keyboard. I know there are many folded ones, but they are all to big. Coming from Kaiser i miss thumb-typing, so i'm in need of something similar. Logitech dinovo mini is way to expencive and still to big to carry around. I found some, but don't know if they will work. If anyone has some idea if this can work on HD or does know thumb-like keyboard, please share.
Old one, but it looks great

Have you also explore alternative soft keyboards like Resco or SBP:
http://www.resco.net/pocketpc/keyboard/
http://www.spbsoftwarehouse.com/products/keyboard/
I also used to have a Touch Pro and a Tytn II and was a thumb typist on both. But, now I'm happy with JUST the HD and now keyboard.
i use soft keybrds for fast input, but when typing long emails it's much faster to type with hw keyboard. I even make less typos with it.
i suppose the only problem is with device driver, so what kind of BT chip does HD have? Some of this thumb keyboards allready have wm support (of some sort) and support Bluesoil.
I dont know much of this, so i could be way off. Even so, i think this would be good adition.
tnx
could be used for games?

Bluetooth Keyboard?

Does anyone know of a bluetooth keyboard that works with their folio 100? I've been looking at the ones from Freedom, but it seems that the drivers are only beta.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated
The Logitech diNovo Edge works perfect on Folio 100 with FolioMod v1.4
Cheers
Apple ..
The Bluetooth Keyboard works like a chram, though if you like to use the numeric Keypad it lacks some Functions.
The Trackpad as PointDevice should also be working if you install Support for Pointing Devices. Dunno wich App you might be using but there are several.
*self-edit*
If the Keyboard puts out weird Chars once connected you should try pressing [fn]+ [f6] cos thats like on a Notebook Keypad if the blue Numeric Part is active.
can you use the keyboard from apple on the folio? or on any android tablet or phone? can you use this keyboard on a windows computer?
I use the Microsoft Bluetooth® Mobile Keyboard 6000. It works great.

good bluetooth keyboard
<MOD EDIT> - Advertising is not allowed!
necro post but the logitech tablet keyboard for iPad work like a charm better quality than microsoft keyboard and more compact plus it come with a sleeve that can be used as stand for the folio with 2 position. (also it is swiss no matter what its allways quality *nono im not saying that because im swiss )
cons: its a lil heavy for that size (hu who care in fact xD )
also all the blue fn secondary button function are working perfectly.
the retailer was going mad saying "nananah its for iPad and iPad only not for worth nothing toshicrap tab" i was about to punch him but i said "did apple put a patente on bluetooth? nope so they cant lock that product for the iPad only, so it will works on my Folio aswell" i understand he was meaning iPad roxx andropad suckzzz but failled to argue with me in the end... we all Know only some chinese copy sucks *iPad or andropad copy*
man ... i really love fanboy and their non objective opinion...

Hi ! I bought a simple bluetooth keyboard and checked youtube for instructions to make it work. It works with AAA batteries and it's quite cheap (20 euros maybe or less)

Bluetooth Keyboard

Does the Photon only work with the Motorola BT keyboard? I have tried 2 BT keyboards I already have and I cannot get them to pair with the phone. I tried both the 0000 and 1234 passkeys the phone tells me but neither works. Neither of my keyboards came with passkeys. Thanks in advance for any help you folks can offer.
I just paired mine to an Apple Wireless Keyboard (bluetooth) that I had laying arond and it worked fine.
Random note about pairing an apple keyboard though:
After the phone asks you to put in a pin number and you hit ok, immediately type the same pin into the keyboard and hit enter. Then it will pair fine.
Hmm I will have to give that entering the key on the keyboard a try.
Yup that did the trick. I am using the Targus tablet keyboard and I did as you said, I entered the passkey on the phone and as soon as I hit OK I entered the same number on the keyboard and hit enter and boom I was in business. Only thing though I don't know if your using SPb 3D shell but I had to uninstall it because everytime I connect the keyboard the whole SPB shell crashes. Anyone else using SPB 3D shell experience this?
Sorry, I'm not using that. Is it a launcher? I'm using launcher pro.

Best product I have seen for portability/functionality: Logitech diNovo Mini
In theory, should any keyboard that properly implements canonical Bluetooth HID work with the Photon (at least, well enough to work properly with Connectbot, including cursor keys)? Or in more concrete terms, has anybody found a Bluetooth HID keyboard that worked with Cyanogen, but DIDN'T work as expected on a Photon with stock firmware?
(by the way, I'm also open to suggestions for a keyboard that can be non-awkwardly pocketed, and is suitable for both panic-stricken sysadmin work with Connectbot involving bash & SQL *and* casual web browsing while eating at BK. I could almost deal with one that's "phone-like" as long as the center-to-center key pitch is at least as wide as the Epic, it has a number row, and the symbols are in the right places... but with more empty space surrounding the keys so I won't have to press with my fingertip to avoid pressing an adjacent key. I'd totally kill for the folding Jorno KB I saw on Wired & Gizmodo, but it looks like THAT one won't actually be available until 2012 even though they started sending out press releases and demo units last year).
Update: does anybody have an opinion (good, bad, awesome-if-it-worked-but-it-doesn't, etc) about this particular keyboard:
http://www.dracotek.com/bluetooth-w...e-smartphones-pc-laptop-and-more-bfkip01.html
It looks like the latest incarnation of the 4-way folding keyboard design that's been around since at least the Palm V (now, with bluetooth and USB-recharged lithium battery). I really like it (on paper, at least), because it's the only keyboard like this I've ever found that has all the keys I care about in the right places. I've been lusting after a keyboard like this for literally years, but it seems like my phones have always been one version away from compatibility with it (sigh). Now that I have a phone that literally knows how to deal with proper Bluetooth HID out of the box, I'm dying to finally buy one the moment I have an excuse to believe it's likely to work ;-)
I picked up the Official Moto Keyboard at Target for $48 - Normally $69.99 - it was marked as clearance - couldn't pass it up
Connected and works very well with the Hacked webtop

That worked with the CE Compass Mini Bluetooth as well. If only the documentation had mentioned that critical step.
The CE Compass bluetoothhas a mouse ponter control, uses AAA batteries, and is cheaper than Logitech but probably not as robust.
It is about half the size of an iPad. So it could go into a big pocket.
Thanks to follow
Well, for what it's worth, I've successfully paired and used both a DiNovo keyboard and MX900 mouse. I haven't bought a pocketable keyboard though. At the moment, I'm trying to find an app compatible with the Hero that can emulate a real, honest to god Bluetooth HID keyboard and Mouse (99% of the apps in Android Market don't emulate HID, and require a special server app that doesn't work on phones/tablets at the other end). If I can get the Hero to work and pair with my Photon as its keyboard/mouse, I'll be psyched... I already own it, it's just sitting in a drawer anyway, it's half the size of actual pocketable bluetooth keyboards with mouse capabilities, and I can do Graffiti on it instead of fumbling with keys scaled for a midget

the first one is the cheapest. i believe the other ones are just a lil newer. just make sure u order bluetooth and not 2.4ghz.
Those look nice but don't need a touch pad tho. I never use webtop not found myself ib a situation to need to use webtop since my laptop is always near by. I'm just looking for a mini keyboard that will work.

Mouse + keyboard

So i ordered mouse and keyboard BT to use with mine flyer. Specialy with BT5 : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1445337
Mouse: http://www.gigabyte.com/products/product-page.aspx?pid=2933#ov
Pairs no problem and works great.
Keyboard: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=271016003248&ssPageName=ADME:L:eek:C:US:3160
will report once recived.
BT + Flyer + mouse is great!
I tried a Microsoft Bluetooth Keyboard, but without a mouse.
Since the operating system was designed for touch navigation, the keyboard is not very helpful for any navigation, but I'd be curious how the combo improves the experience. Please follow up when you get it hooked up.
Will do, ofc. Still w8ing on keyboard. Usually takes up to 4 weeks due to free shiping via Hong Kong post.
Ok so i finally recive the item (long shipment). Pairs good along with mouse and headset so all 3 devices can be used at same time. Atm looks like all base stuff works no problem. However i need to reinstal Back Track linux on mine Flyer since i had some migration in this time; will report how its gona work when i conect flyer to monitor and use mouse and keyboard in linux on Flyer. Will take few days as i am hold up by rl.
I ordered the Motorola Android Keyboard + Mouse and it should arrive in a couple of days. I too am curious how the combo works, I hope everything will be GREAT.
I really want one! Does anyone know of any inexpensive ones avalible in sweden?
Really?

Further will all these 2.4 Ghz wireless mouse have BT or its an addon feature? Bcoz i was not able to find(by scanning) my mouse with similar tech like this one http://www.amazon.com/Wireless-Optical-Mouse-Switch-Black/dp/B003SWLRLS/
Kindly be detailed. Thanks
