Guest squall Posted November 28, 2004 Report Posted November 28, 2004 Proporta Media Release After seven years and with over 400 PDA accessories in its lineup, Proporta has underlined its role as a PDA Solutions Provider (and not ‘just another case maker’) with the release of the new Bluetooth Freedom Keyboard – which allows the user to type onto a mobile device without removing it from its case (ideal for use with the Proporta Crystal Case). Director, Guy Monson, explained: “After releasing a number of Aluminium Cases, Aluminium-Lined Leather Cases and Crystal ‘clear’ Cases for the new PDA’s and Smartphones, and unveiling the rewritten TomeRaider 3 e-reference viewer (www.tomeraider.com), we decided the Proporta lineup needed a decent Bluetooth keyboard. We’ve been evaluating various models for some time and we feel that the Freedom Keyboard is in a different league – in terms of its usability, compatibility and price. The coming months will see us choosing the best of the best products from around the world to add to our updated e-commerce site at www.proporta.com.” As part of its commitment to an increased variety of products on its huge online store, Proporta has also recently added the popular PayPal option to its site along with the option to pay by bank transfer at no cost. Details are on the checkout pages of the Proporta site. so there email address is sales @ proporta.com so lets all email them and ask them for smartphone drivers! After testing countless PDA and Smartphone keyboards, this is by far the most functional and easy to use version, offering unparalleled value for money. Priced at just $119.95 or £69.95/€99.89 (inc. VAT) the Bluetooth Freedom Keyboard offers the convenience of a full QWERTY keyboard (with AZERTY and other European language versions also available) whilst remaining lightweight, tough and compact. Proporta is all about protection so it will come as no surprise that they ship this keyboard with its own protective case. Compatible with all Bluetooth enabled devices, the Bluetooth Freedom Keyboard comes with drivers for all leading PDA’s and Smartphones including Pocket PC, PalmOS and Symbian Unlike rival keyboards, the Bluetooth Freedom Keyboard features number keys along with function keys which offer keyboard-controlled navigation through applications on the mobile device without the need to touch the screen. These features position the Bluetooth Freedom Keyboard far closer than its competitors to the benchmark set by the full-sized keyboard.
Guest Palindrome Posted November 29, 2004 Report Posted November 29, 2004 Doesn't it already come with Smartphone drivers - or have I totally missed the point of the post? http://www.expansys.com/product.asp?code=F...artner=register "Microsoft Smartphone 2003 Compatibility: O2 X Phone; i-mate SmartPhone 2; Orange SPV e200; QTek 8080; i-mate SP3; i-mate SP3i"
Guest chucky.egg Posted November 29, 2004 Report Posted November 29, 2004 That's what I was trying to work out, I just don't know enough about the 43 different flavours of Windows! You can download something (not quite sure what it is!) from here: www.frekey.com/driver/smartphone/install.exe It installs a BTKeyb.cab to your phone (after prompting etc) then does a soft reset Only, I don't have the keyboard to test it! Anyone wanna donate £60 and I'll confirm that it works! :lol:
Guest chucky.egg Posted November 29, 2004 Report Posted November 29, 2004 Just noticed that the app it installs detects the software I have (you can assign apps to Fn keys) That must be a good sign... I think
Guest Palindrome Posted November 29, 2004 Report Posted November 29, 2004 Squall's waiting for comfirmation of the availability of drivers from the developers rather than relying on the distributors for definitive information.
