Summary: Works
Comment: This item has been discontinued, probably because it is not compatible with newer Blackberry phones and is a bit quirky with the older models. It does work with a Blackberry Curve 8703e. I had to download the driver from Think Outside. I am using operating system version 4.2.1.106.
The cradle is practically worthless and the arrow keys often get mixed up. Right turns into Up, etc. The cradle just collapses when I try to use it. A coffee cup works better. Sometimes the unit types gibberish. Reconnecting usually clears up the problem.
There is a slight lag when I start typing, but otherwise it can keep up with me. I need to reconnect each time I use it and re-pair when I put in fresh batteries. I got it on clearance for $50, so I think I got a good deal. I use it almost every day. It fits in a standard pants pocket, but I had to relocate my wallet to my back pocket.

Summary: Not bad, and considering the other options available, usable.
Comment: While this keyboard is not the best one I've ever used for my pda (that being the old Targus I used with my HP 3800) it does work pretty well for what I need. The keyboard is a little wobbly on the ends because of the design of their folding mechanism; when it is fully extended the farthest ends are unsupported from below, but if you take that into account it works well.
The features I like about it are the full sized keys, their light touch, ease of connectivity, the fact that I can use it with any device with bluetooth, and the auto shut off that saves battery life. It's not a device for a ham-fisted operator, but it's convenient for those times when you don't want to carry a full sized computer around and yet want to take better detail notes than you can on the tiny PDA supplied screen keyboard.

Summary: Bluetooth Keyboard
Comment: Cool little gizmo. I'm a technical/computer "geek" and I use that term loosely. I love this thing because my son and I text a lot and I don't have to rely on that tiny little keyboard on my Blackberry Pearl. Love my phone, but this makes texting much easier.
Customer Rating:
Summary: no support
Comment: I tried contacting the maker to help me connect to my blackberry. I never received a response. I tried for over an hour on the phone with my phone provider and then blackberry to set it up but had no luck. Since this product is made by a third party and not by blackberry they had no way of knowing what products it actually works with.
Customer Rating:
Summary: Worthless piece of junk
Comment: This product simply does not work and the company cannot be reached via phone or email. It is a complete rip off and you will be sorry.
