Guest quaterback Posted December 26, 2003 Report Share Posted December 26, 2003 Does anyone know if there is a keyboard available for the MPX200? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest smeg36 Posted December 26, 2003 Report Share Posted December 26, 2003 There isn't one yet, and may not be one. There is another thread regarding this, and some people have doubts if there will ever be one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest urlimited Posted April 26, 2004 Report Share Posted April 26, 2004 Hi, I just bought a IR wireless universal keyboard for the MPx200. However, I could not get it to work yet. The instructions included are not very good. You may get it at: http://suntekstore.com/st-ir-pda-smartphon...e-keyboard.html I am trying to find out from the store how to get the driver to work with the phone. Apparently, I cannot get the phone to recognize the keyboard. Poor user instructions. Tried on other Pocket PCs and it works. I hope to get a solution this week. urlimited Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest awarner [MVP] Posted April 26, 2004 Report Share Posted April 26, 2004 It will be interesting if it does work, the problem I see is that your hands would get in the way of the IR transfer :? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest smeg36 Posted April 26, 2004 Report Share Posted April 26, 2004 If you get it working, let us all know. I have seen those on ebay for pretty cheap, and would love to get one if it does. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest flyaman Posted April 29, 2004 Report Share Posted April 29, 2004 Hi, having a keyboard would be a really great feature with MPX200. Interested if you succeed with this one. F. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest urlimited Posted April 29, 2004 Report Share Posted April 29, 2004 Hi, No luck yet. The retailer did not call back. I will try to call them again. I did notice that there are 2 programs in the installation directory. One is the keyboard driver/software and the other is some keyboard search software. I tried running the "search" software but the MPx200 cannot detect the keyboard signal. I tried lining the phone IR port with both IR ports on the keyboard (there is the one on top that swivels and another at the bottom near the left space bar) but the phone cannot detect the keyboard. I confirmed that the both IR ports of the keyboard work with a HP iPAQ 2210. I just disabled the receive IR beams feature. I am not sure if the MPx200 has such a feature or if there is some IR feature that I need to activate. I hope to find a solution soon. urlimited Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest coyspiracy Posted May 10, 2004 Report Share Posted May 10, 2004 yea, please let us know if u get it to work. i really need this Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest hotphil Posted May 11, 2004 Report Share Posted May 11, 2004 Agreed, if it will work with an MPx200 it's a must have! urlimited - have you tried to beam a contact from the phone to the keyboard? This might give you an indication that at least they can see each other? Quite where to take it from there as far as getting the driver installed I don't know...

Guest urlimited Posted May 13, 2004 Report Share Posted May 13, 2004 I was travelling for the past couple of weeks. I contacted the local distributor before I left. They called me last week with an answer. Apparently, the keyboard was tested with the earlier version of MPx200. They brought in an upgraded firmware version of the keyboard and new drivers. I will let you know if the new keyboard and drivers works after I collect the replacement. urlimited Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest flyaman Posted May 19, 2004 Report Share Posted May 19, 2004 Houahaha, I looked on their site today and they retrieved the MPX200 in the list of compatible hardware!! M***R F***RS Means they had put it in the list without testing it... :evil: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest urlimited Posted May 23, 2004 Report Share Posted May 23, 2004 Hi all, Good news. The new keyboard & drivers the distributor sent me works!!! However, the new chipset did not work with the iPAQ. They are sending me new drivers for the iPAQ. I did not test the keyboard much but it did work. I am trying to take some photos of how to align the phone and keyboard to get it to work. I am also asking the distributor to see if people can order the new keyboard from him. NOTE: The current keyboards on the market may not work with the MPx200. Try at your own risk. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest coyspiracy Posted May 23, 2004 Report Share Posted May 23, 2004 so, the keyboard that you bought works for the mpx200?. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest smeg36 Posted May 23, 2004 Report Share Posted May 23, 2004 That's what it sounds like. I will wait for the dust to settle, and make sure it is working for everyone before I decide to get one though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest flyaman Posted May 24, 2004 Report Share Posted May 24, 2004 Really Works? So why did they retrieve the MPX200 from the list of compatible hardware? I sent them an email today to ask them to give precisions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
