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).
Hi guys,
I have a touch diamond (with Telstra rom) I need to find a way to downgrade my bluetooth drivers on my device. I can hear you all asking is this guy deranged, why would anyone want to do that. Well heres the reason, I have an igo bluetooth keyboard possibly one of the greatest gadgets that has made my life a tone easier when using email. But the drivers that it has dont seem to work with my device as it does not recognise that i have bluetooth at all. This keyboard has worked with my touch dual (20key 850mhz) but not with the diamond. Is there a fix for this.
Thanks
Rather than downgrading your Diamond's bluetooth drivers, have you tried upgrading the bluetooth keyboard drivers instead to the latest available version ?
I have an original Stowaway bluetooth keyboard. I downloaded the WM5 drivers from:
http://corporate.igo.com/support/do... Support/PPC5/En/dr/Think Outside ppc5 En.zip
and the keyboard works perfectly on the Diamond even though it is running WM6.1
Good luck
Thank you that worked great!!!
Any confirmed working BT keyboards?
My trusty Think Outside BT keyboard that has sync'ed with every phone I've had in the last 4-5 years doesn't work. Gutted.
I need a keyboard for this thing!
Any help links advice appreciated.

That's strange, because my iGo (Think Outside) bluetooth keyboard works fine. Didn't even need to install the Think Outside software or drivers - just put the keyboard in discover mode, phone picked it right up, assigned the HID profile, and voila - works grand!
Well waddya know! Don't have any of the shortcut functionality or command and function options but its working as a basic keyboard. Thanks robertlewisca! Never thought of that!
Quite expensive and big solution, the Logitech DiNoVo Mini.
I've bought it for my computer but it also works on the HD2

How did you pair it...?
Does Logitec diNovo Mini works on HD2? I checked the official website of Logitec and don't see it would work on Windows Mobile. Kindly tell me and confirm if it works on HD2 and teach me how to pair. Thanks!
Apple wireless (bluetooth) keyboard works on HD2

To let you know, just used apple's wireless keyboard and it works perfectly !
I was able to outperform the Cootek Touchpal (software)-keyboard , which usually works pretty fast if you know how it works!
hope this helps! perhaps you could try it yourself in the apple stores XD
WORKING EXTERNAL KEYBOARDS ON HD2:
+ Apple Wireless Keyboard
+ Logitech DiNoVo Mini (confirmed by Zero Masamune )
Apple
Apple wireless BT keyboards (newer types) do not work! It pairs OK, everything looks OK, connected and all but - no typing. Unfortunately. I do have a Stowaway foldable, works perfect, although shortcuts do not function (none). Fortunately all others keys do, as with my last HD keys were mixed up sometimes (UK/US/NL problems)
So which BT keybard would you recommend for HD2?
And does the embeded touchpad/trackpoint work with HD2 as well?

I also got the Logitech DiNoVo Mini connected with my HD2. However, the mouse pad function not working on HD2. Only can use the mouse pad for up, down, left and right movement.
Are there any others? Im thinking of getting a BT keyboard
My ThinkOutside BT folding slimline works a charm... Some of the keys take a while to 'warm up' before they'll work 100% but I've been using this thing since I got my Tungsten T3 so it's kinda understandable.
Anyone get bluethooth mouse connected on HD2? Or I need to install third party software before HD2 can connected with bluetooth mouse?
hi,
looks like the hd2 dosent like bt mice, my advantage do work well with 2 of them, the hd2 wont. keyboards i tested til now are the freedom universal 2 and the think outside stowaway. both working well for basic keys, but support only english 'qwerty' keyboard layout and no spezial language chars like german 'ÄÖÜß'.

By that do you mean. "p, backspace, enter, delete" don't work for a while??
I noticed this on my Stowaway and I thought it was faulty hardware and I was gutted. First time I paired with 1.43 it worked like a charm for about a week, then those keys stopped working.. it may have had something to do with flashing to 1.48, but after some repeated hammering and opening and closing of the keyboard they start working, sluggishly and then they are okay.
I thought it was a problem with my (admittedly ancient) Think Outside Stowaway BT keyboard.
Nice to know its not that!!
I read on another thread that a company were working on drivers to make full use of the winmo shortcut keys again..
Here are the links to that topic:

X7500 Advantage has MS BT Stack, HD2 (like TP2) has Widcomm BT stack that don't recognize BT mouse as BT "Profile".....so.....
we hope for a developer's release of a MicroSoft Bluetooth Stack for our device.

Same problem!!! Blueinput from teksoftco need MS Bluetooth Stack......we have widcomm...bleah!
why is it not made a keyboard that you can attach to your mobile phone through the usb port? it would have been fine with a keyboard of the same quality as what was on the qtek 9000 or is it allready made?
I'm using a HP iPAQ branded BT foldable keyboard and it works perfectly. I guess it is really a Stowaway Keyboard but I'm not 100% sure.
It folds out to an almost full size keyboard and has a nice retractable stand in the rear of the left half (the rear of the right half is occupied by a compartment for two rechargeable AAA-batteries).
BlueInput for Broadcom is closing in
We're happy to announce that Teksoft is just a few weeks away from the release of Blueinput for devices that use the Broadcom Bluetooth stack, including the HTC HD2, HTC Touch Pro 2, Asus, and others.
BlueInput is an advanced HID driver that totally transforms your Pocket PC or Smartphone into the perfect Mobile office solution by offering easy Bluetooth connectivity to Bluetooth Mouses or Keyboards.

fantanstic news !
I wanna use it with mouse and keyboard as mobile computer ~
Great News... Can a working version (alpha/beta/demo) be released before next Friday morning?
I leave next Friday evening for a 5 day camp where no laptops are allowed... ordered a BT Keyboard.. and have several BT Mice... would really like to use a BT Mouse on the HD2 as well...
indeed, would be great to have it asap. the news said something about "weeks away". probably it's in testing phase.
about time! hate having paid for the software and not having it working.
hopefully it supports different language/keyboardlayout. thats (beside mouse support) my only problem atm. with bluetooth on the hd2.
anyhow great news mad.
Here's a demo video:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dLRXSBcu6WI&feature=player_embedded
showing a bluetooth mogo mouse working with an asus device, that has the Broadcom Stack (like the HD2 does).
looks impressive...
waiting for news
DN41
Still holding my breath too. Teksoftco's web site has everything in place except the download. Sure wish they would put up an expiring demo so we can at least have something.
Teksoft sleeping - confirmation
Ridiculous: Teksoft Broadcomm page is defunct for almost two weeks now. Are they sleeping or what? Does anyone know any details? Where are the beta testers???
Wonder if this will get around the issues with Wiimotes and Playstation Sixaxis remotes...would love to use one of those in FPSECE instead of the bgp100
Nice video showing the possibilities of blueinput. But the HD2 already has integrated bluetooth reception. I have a microsft 6000 series bluetooth keyboard, which is easily recognised by the current bluetooth software on my HD2. The current issue of the bluetooth keyboard is that not all keys are functional in the windows mobile 6.5 software. What is needed, therfore, is software that can reprogram the bluetooth keyboard keys, for more functional use. That will be a milestone for the Hd2. Has anyone heard of this software yet?
So you are saying your M$ 6000 BT mouse pairs properly and works? I have a M$ 5000 and the HD2 sees it but cannot pair with it. It works fine on a laptop.

No, he wrote "keyboard", not "mouse". No comment on your reading skills.
To be serious: back to my post on page #1: what about the blueinput software? Where are the beta testers???
Ok, Teksoftco, this thread was started by you on Feb. 5, today is June 24. 5 months seems a bit extreme for a beta test.
Hi,
totally agree with you, 5 month to issue a software is a bit long. Perhaps waiting for people to buy other/recent keyboards ;-)
Anyway, my BK600 would work with my hd2 with that software. Too bad they haven't delivered yet. What do they need developpers ? (i'm one of them , so if they need help... lol )
Anyway in the same vein, i would really like to ask for sources of freedom / Com1 / omiz BK600 to fix the to issue a driver for my hd2 ...
Kind regards,
and still waiting some driver to make my bk600 work on my htc hdé !!!
Ludovic
Don't hold your breath - the software is defunct - not working - major issues.
see my thread : developping bluetooth gateway for bk600
enough to wait for will-be-released drivers, or drivers which are not for my phone.
I'll try to make on myself. If i succedd, it won't cost $15 ^_^

BlueInput: BT Keyboard not found
I've downloaded the last/new vesion of BlueInput 1.0.101. But still it can't detect my BT keyboard (HP iPAQ foldable). It detects though my BT mouse - Logitech MX1000 and it works fine, but no any signs by the keybord.
My other BT software on my HD2 detects the keyboard and i've managed to make it work, but its inconvenient to use one program for keyboard and another for mouse.
Has anyone experienced similar problems with iPAQ BT keyboard? It cannot be detected by BlueInput software. These guys need to do some more work before i buy this software.
Bought a cheapo chinese bluetooth mouse a while back for this purpose & have been waiting AGES for Teksoft to get this software running (I guess android has been the priority for them lately).
Works OK on my HD2 3.14 official wwe ROM, although probs encountered whilst on the home screen (weather animation on) or viewing videos. Also doesn't always track screen rotation (Youtube app for one, although does using IE).
