Third the drivers for Blackberry cannot be downloaded directly from the phone and forth the web and print instructions are non-existant. First the sticker placed over the keyboard that tells you how to unfold it pulled one of the keys off. My iGo arrived today and I'm sending it right back. Secondly the "W" is stuck in the down position. I'm a technically savvy person but I can tell I'm in for hours of valuable time trying to get this to work.
This keyboard is discontinued and cannot be used by many devices. It seems like a nice product but it is officially discontinued and drivers for current devices are NOT available. apologies). It CANNOT be used by the Blackberry Storm. iGo provides limited support (e.g.
You really can't get much more portable than that.To use you invoke a 3-button key combination to help it initiate contact with your device. Once you get a keyboard for your pda / smart phone, you won't go back. Once connected, you'll be off and running. My Palm TX will only stay on at 1-3 minute intervals so the only thing I don't like about this combination is that I have to keep hitting a key once in a while so my Palm doesn't shut off. I use this keyboard with my Palm TX and it does a fabulous job during meetings - it's small (smaller than a notebook), VERY portable and reliable. This keyboard communicates via bluetooth and does a great job at turning your small device into a productive tool you won't want to be without. the entire keyboard as well as my Palm PDA fits into the pant pocket of my cargo pants / shorts. This of course is a design flaw of the TX and not reflective of the keyboard.
I always took good care of it too, it had its own little storage slot in my car.The product has been discontinued. See review title above. I was really happy with it until the "M" key (and a couple others above/below it) stopped working. It was fun while it lasted.
This is not the kind of tech support that a reliable company would give. I have a BlackBerry Curve 8320 and got this keyboard to use with the device. Also, I have not been able to find any after market software to make it work. I called tech support for iGo and they said they do not and will not support it. It does not work with the new OS 4.5 for BlackBerry. They suggested I search on the web for a hack driver that someone might post. Avoid.
