Worried Stowaway Sierra or just the bt one?

Well Im planning on muying a BT Keyboard, so far I think the best are the Stowaway Bluetooth and the Stowaway Sierra from ThinkOutside, I think the only difference between them is the size, the sierra is bigger, the only thing I want it to have is a stand because that make it more confortable to type, Im not really sure the sierra comes with a stand but I would like to have some opinions on which one should I consider.......:hide:

Both are great. You're right about thickness--the Sierra is about twice as thick, folded, as the original Stowaway. That thickness comes from the additional row of keys dedicated to numbers. The Sierra has the number row, the original Stowaway does not. I have the original Stowaway and bought it because I wanted the thin form and because I type mostly text. When I do type numbers, it does take a little effort to press a special function key to access them. I'm delighted with the original Stowaway and would make the same choice again, given my uses and needs.

Both keyboards have stands to hold the PDA.

I've bought the sierra, in fact, it's cheaper than the original bt keyboard (at least it is so where I come from). This seems strange to me, but it may be due to the slim form factor of the original one.

I'm one who needs the number row, plenty of excel sheets to key and programming to do. For your info, it does come with a removable stand, and it's attached to the back of the keyboard. It's also adjustable for portrait or landscape mode with 2 different heights.

I bought my Sierra (also a BT one, with number keys) @ $69 not including shipping.

Your BT one (I suppose without the number keys) is much cheaper than what I can get.

I just bought a Sierra, having full size keys is a definite plus.
