guys do u knw if this keyboard is compatible with advantage x7501 and its gonna be released nxt month
It works as a standard bluetooth keyboard, so yes, it should work.
I've got my eye on one of these too, for use with my PS3. But I've just ordered the Logitech Dinovo Edge at £100, so maybe Logitech have had enough of my hard earned for a while.
thanks man i will surely get one of these
Did anyone get one of these devices yet? It would be awesome to customize one of the lids to allow for the Athena to fit inside of the cover. It would seem to be the ultimate in UMPC's I would think even better than the shift, since it would have the GPS option from the Athena and now with backlit keyboard, built-in dual use pointer solution and battery power for a months worth of usage.
Any feedback would be appreciated, I love my other diNovo Edge and Media Board's, but would like to hear about the new diNovo mini before dropping the cash on yet another portable keyboard that I forget to carry along with me in my travels...

Dinovo Mini
Hello everybody...
I'm also interesting in this keyboard. It looks very nice. I could be a great solution for my X7501; it seems that we could fit our device in the cover.
Do you think the drivers could be install in X7501
Any feedback?
Regards.

my guess is that it will use standard HID drivers and that we will be able to easily utilize it. I checked the specs and it looks like it will be under 20 mm's too large to fit under the cover without a slight bit of modification. With the modification, I believe that we will have a woderful solution / workaround... Hope to test the keyboard next week...

hi all, new member speaking .
i bought the diNovo Mini yesterday and tried to pair with a Glofiish X800 (wm6.1 cooked rom).... it works without any problem !!
(the icon of the paired item in the wm interface is a keyboard, so i think that is working with standard bt-keyboard driver)
the "windows" button is working, the keyboard itself is working, it works even the "clickpad" (used as "arrows" keys)
i'm searching some keys that acts as "OK/Close" button now and as soon as possible i would try with RDP if the "mouse arrow" appears in some way using the trackpad. (it will be wonderful...)
(sorry for my poor english...)
its a good investment
have bought some months back it even has usb bluetooth dongle for instant pairing with pcs without bluetooth..butt athena is already heavy and to couple it with mini would be cool but will make the unit more heavy

Hello ZyRix1st.
Have you tried the track pad?
If it is like a mouse this keyboard will be the right solution for me.
Are the keys more comfortable that the keyboard of the X7501?
Regards.
If the track pad works, can we use it like a mouse outside Microsoft Word application to launch and control other apps or does it only function in Word?
...
track pad
Hi.
Any news about the use of these keyboard?
Can we use the keyboard and the track pad as a mouse pad?
Thansk for your comments.
Regards.
mouse
just lookup "blue mouse" http://http://www.teksoftco.com/ if you want a mouse for athena that works everywhere..
Keysonic 340BT
Hi
Has anyone seen THESE before? I've just bought one and will coment on it when it arrives. It says it is ideal for windows mobile. you can get them on ebay too.

Keysonic 340BT Keyboard
Hi again,
Well its arrived and it paired up OK, and everything seems to work as it should. the laptop type finger board is a joy to use, and the only niggle I have is the finger scroll bit only moves the screen in small moves at a time. It comes in a very smart black bag, and takes 2 aaa batteries. double click does'nt do much, but thats more down to the athena not having a double click function. The keys have a normal keyboard type feel to them with a good feedback to them.
in all it good for the money and is great to surf the net on the wide screen tv while on the sofa downing a beer Its better than having a mouse and large keyboard, unless you are heavy into typing. Any questions, PM me or leave one here.
All the best
Jay
So has anyone managed to test the Logitech keyboard & pad with bluetooth/usb on the Athena? I think i'd prefer logitech to the keysonic option.
Any News?
Hi.
Any news about the dinovo mini??? Someone had tried it?
Responderman.
In these time, How do you feel with your keyboard? Is enough small to be carry out?
I was reading about it and they say it's portable.
Thanks a lot.
I have had a dinivo mini for a while a just realised that it might work with my new htc touch hd and I can say it works very nicely, not perfectly but nicely.
And to answer thoses asking i just installed blue input and now the mouse pad works as well, I havent tried it in opera yet although i did find one slight annoyance in opera when you use the keyboard to input text you have to wait for the text to apear before you press space or it wont register it also the left and right buttons also seem to soom in and out on opera so editing text gets a little annoying as well I will mess around some more and post back if anyone is interested.
***Edit*** actually installing blue input seems to have overridden the dinovo mini as a mouse so it only functions as a mouse now and no keys work. I will continue to test.
***Edit 2*** after installing blue input the keyboard no longer seems to function it pairs just fine but nothing provokes a responce in my device, I will need to test more but from what I can see if you want your dinovo mini to function as a keyboard more than a mouse then dont install blue input, at least not until it is properly supported.
***Edit 3*** after deleting all settings re connecting and reinstalling blueinput everything seems to function as it should i.e. mouse and keyboard of the dinovo both work fine.

Thanks a lot for your information.
It seems that the mini work fine with your HD, and probably will work fine with the Athena. I'm using WM 6.1. just using a driver like blueinput.
Which are your impressions about the keyboard, it is portable? and enough to introduce a lot of text? Is the pad useful as a mouse?
Regards.

Sorry to burst bubble guys but my mate just got one of these. I sat with it for 20 mins trying to tell me self I would want one but they keys are just plain AWEFULL
Really nasty tactile feedback - from logitech!! Unbelievable reallly!
There are no raised buttons so you cant touch type easily and find way back to F and J
Battery and backlight are nice though.
I tried to type the same sentace about 20 times waiting for something to go click and for my brain to accept this as a possible puchase.
It did not come. I wouldnt get any more comfortable with this and its not as good to type with as ameo keyboard (raised F and J)
This is sucking bum
for £60........I could er well do lots but NOT buy this shizzle. I have never before seen a logitech product that I believe sucks. But this - IMO sucks.
Thanks....

Thanks for yours comments. That was we waiting for. The analisys of the keyboard in our device. I almost ordered one, in order to test it. But now I will wait for another keyboard that will work very well in out devices.
Again Thanks a lot .

I can't get a diffinitive answer. can we pair a bluetooth keyboard with the mogul? thanks, zacharyjeans
Yes, I use Igo stowaway foldup keyboard.
Alan
I use a Dell Executive Keyboard - I believe it is the same as the Think Outside keyboard, except in black. Works fine.
If you want the StowAway, get them while they last since iGo is not making them anymore. I have one and it works great, so I'm disappointed to see that they are stopping production.
My husband has a Mogul with Windows 6.1. His keyboard is a Freedom Universal Keyboard. It doesn't work after the upgrade. Do you know where can I find drivers for the Mogul 6.1? Or at least a keyboard that works with the new rom? Thanks
I have the IGO one as well as the bluetooth mouse and they both work well. The reason Igo isn't making the bluetooth keyboards anymore is because the company did not want to keep up with the driver demands for a new ROM or device (according to Smartphone and Pocket PC).
Is there anyway I can use my PC bluetooth Keyboard on diamond?
I bought a diamond for this specific purpose. Thought it would work out of the box because of the HID profile, but I had to plunk down 15 euros to buy BlueInput from teksoftco: http://www.teksoftco.com/index.php?section=bluemouse
I had some issues on my stock JPN rom where I could only press one key at a time, but now that I'm running Dutty's everything works fine. Ultraportable word processing with a full-size mechanical Filco keyboard!
Hello, iam searching for a bluetooth keyboard for my HD2. Its exhausting to write mails and sms everyday on that beatiful but hard to type touchscreen :/ So i thought about buying a bluetooth keyboard. But after some searching i only found a few small keyboards from 2005 and 2006 I hoped you guys could help me with that. I want a small keyboard, size like a creditcard if possible, should be easy to carry arround
Greetings, Deadwalk
You should have a look at the Logitech diNovo Mini if you want something good. It's expensive but worth it, I got some $25 chinese BT keyboard and it's even worse to type on it than on the HD2 itself.
Remember that until Teksoft release their Blueinput driver for the HD2 and other Broadcom BT stack phones you will be stuck to standard keys, special keys will not work or type different characters than what's written on them.
stowaway bluetooth keyboard works for standard buttons. If you install the driver and have it run in the background while depending on the HD2's broadcomm BT driver to do the pairing, you gain the the ability to use home/end/pgup/pgdn, but not much else.
You can, however, use AE Button Plus to manually map your functional buttons
Is there such a thing as a hardware keyboard for the HTC HD2. It could either connect via the mini USB cable, by Bluetooth or by a slide on style expansion keyboard similar to my ipaq slide on keyboard. I present the pictures below as a demonstration. The HD2 is perfectly set up for this type as both the 3½mm audio headset jack and the mini USB are in line and can be used to attach a slide on keyboard. I have to admit I find it a little difficult not using a stylus on the HD2 to type text etc..
there are bluetooth keyboards.. maybe u could try one of them?
there is a little problem, i think.

But a keyboard like on your photos (maybe linked with BT) would be very nice.
The 3.5mm jack can be used for better external speakers and
the USB-port for additional power supply.
I swear by my Freedom Universal Keyboard. Foldable, runs on AAA batts that last forever, uses Bluetooth and I got it on ebay for £25.
It was a pain for my Vario III as you needed a pin from the manfacturer but the HD2 pairs so much easier.
I love my HD2 but not for on the go, for long typing the on screen keyboard just doesn't cut it. The BT keyboard is great and it can keep up with high speed typing easily as well as having programmable buttons to whizz you back to Today, programs, etc.
I know Freedom released newer versions of the keyboard as well, but nice to know the first version will get the job done.
Hope that helps!
I couldn't get my original Freedom keyboard to pair with the HD2. Drivers from the site didn't work, nor did the auto-pairing in the bluetooth settings. Emailed the company and they told me it was 3 years old and no longer supported.
The newer Freedom costs $80, which I won't be doing if its lifespan is only 3 years.
Can anyone confirm if the Logitech diNovo Cordless Mini works or not with the HD2?
