Keyboard blues

Hello, Everyone,

I am a new pda owner - I just bought the Axim 51. The Dell keyboard I originally ordered is not being made anymore, so the Dell salesperson suggested the Belkin keyboard. I can't put the program on, I think because it's for a Windows Mobile 2003 and the Axim 51 is Windows Mobile 2005. The alternative program, Pocket PC 2003 also doesn't work.

I'm not too crazy about the setup, because I planned to write books bouncing along for 3 hours round-trip on the bus to and from work, but probably could come up with a way to make all those unstable little flimsy parts stay put if I could but make the system work. Anybody else out there have this problem and, hopefully, a solution?

Also, is there a very basic "PDAs for Dummies" or something?

Thanks,

JIS

They arent making them anymore? The bluetooth one right? Thats what i figured. I had ordered one in MAY!! They just keep emailing us and saying "just two more weeks." Luckily though, the keyboard is actually made by ThinkOutside. Its called the stowaway keyboard. its $150 though. But i think that i am going to be ordering it for myself.
