 Discuss this in the forumFor Sony Ericsson P910, P900, P800 and most Bluetooth enabled PocketPCs Palms, Macs and PCs  Buy: 130€ / $150 Official pageInfrared version The Stowaway Infrared costs almost a 50% less (59€ / $70), and altough the technology is less comfortable and cool than the Bluetooth, the keyboard itself is 99% the same. More info |
 The detachable stand is small light and handy  Sure it looks better without the stand, but in the end it's just practical to have it always attached  It opens almost automatically, yet its closed position is very steady  There's plenty of rubber pieces to prevent scratches in both the keyboard and the phone. That black wire supposedly has two positions that offer different leaning angles for the smartphone. Unfortunately it's a mess to deal with and everytime the stand is closed against the keyboard it goes back to the original position |
 The way the keyboard opens is really cool: when the right part of it reaches the vertical position it starts to push the left side to the left while continuing its way to the horizontal position  This is the opening button  This black tab releases the lock when the keyboard is open. Thanks to this lock and the general design it's possible to rest the keyboard on your lap   |
   Comes with this nice leather case  Uses a couple of small AAA batteries, whose level can be checked in the phone's software when the keyboard is paired  Most of the shortcuts printed on the keys (used in combination with the left Fn key) are correctly associated by default |
   That's less than 1.5 cm  While it looks that those "wings" could make it unstable, the truth is that the unit remains static while writing  There is a problem with the keys including symbols that are entered in combination with the right Fn key. The color of the prints almost makes them invisible. A black ink would have made it more usable |
 The drivers for our Symbian work well and most of the times no more than one tap on "Enable BT" in the phone's screen and the key combination of the keyboard are enough to start the Bluetooth writing  The possible customizable combinations are 15 keys (the ones with "Calendar", "Contacts", etc. printed on the keyboard) with the left Fn key, and the 10 numerical keys with the right Fn key + Alt key. Each combination can be associated to any program installed in the phone |
 Through the HID (Human Interface Device) Bluetooth profile, any Bluetooth enabled computer can communicate with the Stowaway BT without the need of any additional drivers (at least with Windows XP SP1), altough one must be paying attention to the moment when the default passkey ("0000") of the computer has to be typed on the keyboard for the succesful pairing  So this keyboard is also a perfect companion for keyboardless Tablet PCs |
