Guest AlanJC Posted March 17, 2009 Report Share Posted March 17, 2009 I have seen this keyboard mentioned a few times, but not seen anyone say they bought one, or used one. http://www.freedominput.com/site/index.php...&Itemid=140 Well, mine turned up today, and works really well. http://twitpic.com/26wdc You have to install the driver to make the softkey buttons and function buttons work, but it will pair and work as a normal BT keyboard without that (obviously using the drivers gives a far better experience). As it's a RAZR style keyboard, the buttons aren't as easy to type on compared to a proper thumb board, but you can type pretty well, and it means you can leave the Touch HD in a cradle or proped against something and use the keyboard to type, and control the device with hardly any screen taps required. No idea about battery life yet, but they claim 1 hour charge gives 4 hours use. The blue backlighting is quite uneven, and the underside looks a little cheap considering it's £49.99 price tag (it was a birthday present, so I was OK with the price hehe), but I can live with that. Charges straight from a mini USB port, and it works with any device that supports bluetooth HID (WinMo, Symbian, XP, Vista, Linux and so on) and also supports SPP for Blackberry devices. The support for berries confised me a little as it was released before the Storm, so why would anyone want this when the device has a proper keypad anyway? Oh well, off to practice my typing on it more, but will answer any questions you may have about it if I can. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
