 Need help - Palm wireless keyboard is Locked, frozen tight, 2005-09-18
The keyboard is locked. Checked everything -- all in good order. The keys are locked up tight and no one i know has been able to figure out how to unlock it. Itš been extraordinarily frustrating on this trip as I have docs and info on it that I need for my busn travels, meetings. Does anyone know how the #%*+# keyboard can be unlocked???? Thanks to anyone who may respond.

 A very pleasant surprise, 2005-03-02
Indeed...I was afraid this product wouldn't live up to the expectations I was having, but it did. You see, this is the second keabord I have bought for my pda, and the first one was a HUGE dissapointment.
I don't even remember the brand of that keyboard (the brain tends to block painful memories), but I sure remember being disgusted by the manufacturer's bogus claim that it was a "full size keaboard" which would let you type "just like a laptop". Some nerve.
However, I disgress. This Palm infrared keyboard works just fine, I can easily touch-type with it at speeds of about 40 wpm, and I don't understand why all the reviewers complain about the hinge in the middle of the space bar...I sure have no problems with it.
Of course, nothing in this world is perfect. If you use it to type in a language other than english (as I do), you will have to press 3 or 4 separate keys for a single character...but I have gotten used to it.
In short, I would recommend this product to anyone who needs to enter a reasonable amount of data into their pda's on the go, not just use it to view phone numbers and dates.

Useful for many more mobile devices, 2004-11-10
Some people have compared this to the Palm Universal keyboard which uses a connector which PalmOne has abandoned now (look at Tungsten T5).
There is the fact that this keyboard works with
1. Palm OS Handhelds
2. Pocket PC Handhelds
3. Series 60 Smartphones
4. Windows Mobile Smartphones
5. Symbian UIQ Smartphones
so I think it's a very smart decision to buy this. I had bought it for my Palm Handheld, but I found out that I use it with my phone more often. But now Nokia has abandoned IR so it may be smarter to buy the bluetooth version of this keyboard.
About the batteries: Nearly one year has passed since I bought this and I still use the batteries that came with the package.
About the other languages and numbers: The reviewers are correct, the keyboard's weakest points are those. But it's possible to write new layouts which may make things easier.

Far from perfect, 2004-10-21
We have not been able to get this keyboard to work! The infared sensor seems to be the problem, it's difficult to keep it oriented properly to allow the keyboard to communicate with the palm.
After many attempts by several different experienced palm users we gave up.
I'd be wary of this piece of technology.
