Product Title: Think Outside Stowaway Bluetooth Keyboard
Manufacturer: Think Outside
Power Score: 4.2 | 13 Reviews
General
URL: Manufacturer Link
Strengths: Small and Light
Weakness: Somewhat unsteady on sides when typing close tro edges of keyboard
Overall, this is a good product that will work with most all bluetooth enabled devices. One issue is that there is no support undeer the two sides so when typing keys near the edges of the keyboard it tends to be unsteady if one has a "heavy" typing hand. A second issue is that there no good specific insytructions printed for the Treo 650 on all the shortcuts but their support people will help...
Strengths: Large keys with great feel & response, yet small enough to be quite portable
Weakness: Typing numbers & symbols takes some getting use to; split space bar also throws me off sometimes
This works great on my Dell Axim x50v in conjunction with the Think Outside bluetooth mouse. With both devices setup, my PDA works like a desktop computer! Though the initial wireless setup with my handheld was a little confusing, once I got the keyboard connected, it has performed very well. Reconnecting is fast & easy after the initial configuration. While I had feared the keyboard might be too...
Strengths: The keys are full size and nicely resistent.
Weakness: The keyboard case has a significant design flaw. The ends are not supported, so when you press keys on the left and right edges (such as the Shift key) the keyboard tips.
This keyboard has many nice qualities, but it also has a significant design flaw, which surprised me coming from what's supposed to be the Mercedes of travel keyboard companies. The engineer who designed the clever folding case apparently did not build a prototype and try typing on it before putting it into production. The keyboard folds up into a case that's less than 6" wide. The case serves as...
Strengths: Very easy to Pair, ergonomic design, light weight.
Weakness: You need to use th FN key to use the numbers, this sometimes slow down your typing.
This is a very good product, I used the very first Stowaway but this is 1000 times better. It has a lot of functions to access applications in your PDA. The space Bar is divided in too to be able to fold the keyboard, at the beginning feels a little odd but you just need to get use to it.
Strengths: Nice form, easy use, nice looks
Weakness: Cost a little high, no top keys for numbers
Great toy! This will be a helpful time saver. The bluetooth is great because you can use it with a variety of products. It is very compact and sleek.
Strengths: small light weight, easy to use and install
Weakness: Weaknesses: have to use the function key for the numbers and symbols. cheap stand
Weaknesses: have to use the function key for the numbers and symbols. cheap stand The space Bar is divided in too to be able to fold the keyboard, it takes a little time to get used to it, but it can be done fast!
Strengths: Compact, Sturdy, Great key layout, Battery life, Ease of connection
Weakness: It's pricy.
A great keyboard for real quick and dirty tasks. Makes carrying a laptop through an airport almost obsolete. Bluetooth keyboards blow away infrared devices, due to the ability to use the device without worrying about how the infrared ports line up. This advantage is worth the extra 20 to 30 dollars more the Bluetooth keyboards cost.
Strengths: Very small size, accurate typing (no dropped entries at 60 WPM), good keystroke feel, secure connection options, easy to establish connection, software allows programmable hot-keys.
Weakness: Detatchable PDA/Phone stand is not very high quality like the rest of the keyboard.
**Make sure you install the keyboard drivers to the default directory or the keyboard will not connect (had to discover this fact online).** I have read other reviews highlighting the small size of this unit compared to the competition...and I am very pleased with my purchase. Finally, I can efficiently compute on the go.
Strengths: Great keyboard feel, full size keys
Weakness: Pairing not intuitive
I have had a wonderful experience with this keyboard. It is comfortable and works well with my LifeDrive with no delay in typing. I have not had a problem with the previous reviewers concern over the keyboard tiping, maybe I'm just lighter on my keys. The only problem I have had is repairing the keyboard with my LifeDrive after a hard reset. The key combination is not intuitive and I have to pull...

Great Product, Serious Drawbacks
Strengths: Good, compact product.
Weakness: No driver for Windows Mobile 6.
Product has basic functionality with Windows Mobile 6 though lacking in a driver. I contacted the manufacturer about getting a driver for WM6 and I was told that they did not have one and did not intend to create one. This limits many of the advanced features that the keyboard offers.
