The title says it all. I want a good Bluetooth keyboard for my x51v but there are many options. I assume that they are not all created equal. So let's have some opinions!

The ThinkOutside (now called iGo I believe) one is often highly recommended:

iGo Store - Product Information

EDIT: It's only $30 at Amazon!!!

Amazon.com: iGo Stowaway Ultra-Slim Bluetooth Keyboard for Blackberry and other PDA/ Handhelds: Cell Phones & Service

Looks nice but it's about 50% more than other keyboards I have seen. What are the perks about this one in particular? And does it allow you to mount the axim in landscape mode? I think that's an important option.

I just noticed the Amazon price just as you posted!

Where is it on sale? Which one? Please some links and more info!

This one?
Amazon.com: iGo Stowaway Ultra-Slim Bluetooth Keyboard for Blackberry and other PDA/ Handhelds: Electronics

Can it mount the pda horizontally?

That's the one, and that price is amazing. The stand will hold the pda vertically or horizontally. I have one and it works great in both configurations.

I'll be curious what you think of it and how it works for you, as I'm going to use it with my X51v, and I'm also going to try it on my Samsung i760.

Quick note--just to be sure that you notice that this is the keyboard version that does not have a row of keys dedicated to numerals. You have to use the FN key along with the top row of keys to type in numbers. I type mostly text, so it matters little to me, but if your work is number intensive, you might want to consider this.

OK. I'll keep this thread going and revisit it once my keyboard comes; on Friday!

Yeah I saw that in the reviews. It kinda bites but I think I'll live. I really just need it for taking notes in school. Most of the time I use the letter recognizer.


Also, can the axim be mounted on this with a larger battery installed? All of the pictures I can find of this keyboard are tiny and less than informative.
