Greetings:


I'll be recieving my Nokia N800 Tablet soon, and I'm looking to get a blueTooth Keyboard.

I want something compact or that folds so that I can put in a pouch and carry
it along with N800.

Does anyone suggest one model over the next?

Also I don't want something that I have to reprogram the N800 to pair it with the Keyboard.

Regards Robert

Did you try searching the forums? There has been plenty of discussion on lots of different keyboards ...

Cheers

I use the Stowaway Sierra Bluetooth keyboard and I am totally delighted with it as long as you have a flat surface to put it on (On your knees it tends to bend and move). Read the reviews on amazon.com to get other comments about this really well-designed keyboard.

And connecting is a no-brainer. punch in the pin on the keyboard and your paired :-)

I use the Nokia Key board

Does anyone else who uses the Nokia keyboard find the apostrophe very annoying?

Or is there some fundamental thing that everyone knows but me? I have to hit the key twice to get it to type an apostrophe (or shift and hit it twice for a quote), then if the next letter is an "s" or a few others, I get the little glitch above it (please forgive my un-worldlyness in not knowing what that thing is called). So, it's backspace over that and type an "s".

I don't suppose there's a keyboard map in the N800 that I can alter to make this change?

I use a laser keyboard which is great once you get used to typing on all kinds of surfaces. It fits in your pocket...

I'm waiting for my FrogPad...
the flexi-stowaway keyboard just wasn't robust enough for me

How does this laser keyboard hold up on a bumpy flight or train ride? Can it be stabilized somehow?

That's because it's a combining accent key. Useful for putting accents on characters; for typing apostrophes, not so much. I noticed it right away, but you're the first I've found who mentions it.
You can hit <ALT-GR>+<Apostrophe> to get a proper ASCII apostrophe, and add <SHIFT> to get a quotation mark. This is obviously backward, in my opinion, for a keyboard layout set to "English (USA)".
I've been meaning to look up how to map keys in the X Window system, which underpins the N800 GUI. Tools exist; not sure if they've all been ported.

i would be happy if I could use my nokia e61i QWERTY keyboard to type ..no?
