What our customer's say!

"Do not buy this keyboard for a BlackBerry", I have a BlackBerry Curve 8320 and got this keyboard to use with the device. It does not work with the new OS 4.5 for BlackBerry. I called tech support for iGo and they said they do not and will not support it. They suggested I search on the web for a hack driver that someone might post. This is not the kind of tech support that a reliable company would give! Also, I have not been able to find any after market software to make it work. Avoid....

"Good ROI", Setting up initial partnership between the keyboard and my pda was pretty simple. The keyboard size and key-spacing are decent...a little smaller but comparable to laptop keyboards.

Numbers and some punctuations are awkward to type but other than that, I am able to type at my normal typing speed.

The size of the keyboard when stored is conveniently small. I keep it in my glovebox in my car in case I need it while I'm out.

I frequently meet clients at restaurants, coffee shops and other places. I pull my keyboard and pda out of my purse and I'm ready to take notes.

I'm not sure what the battery life is but I've been using it approximately 4 hours per week for about 3 weeks on the same 2 aaa batteries so far.

The convenience, simplicity, portability and ease of use make this a great investment.

"Slim Keyboard", This is the third keyboard I've purchased, and it's the one most comfortable to use out of the packaging. The first two I purchased were the HP and Nokia BT keyboards, and this is the first one of the three that has worked perfectly with both PDA and smartphone.

I'll focus on the aspects that mattered most to me, as most of the other reviews here already say what convinced me to buy this keyboard initially. So this is from my perspective, if you want more general reviews there are plenty of good ones, especially those labeled most useful:

As you open this keyboard up, the "crease" of the keyboard is supported by a back panel, so the keyboard is held quite firm down the center. Also, packed up, this keyboard can fit into a large pocket, and can be carried around effortlessly. Finally, this is a 4 row keyboard (there is a 5 row version that I didn't know about) so all the numbers overlap the top row (qwert-) and a function (fn) key is needed to put in numbers, with numlock available, and a second function key for symbols. It takes some getting used to, but once you have the hang of the two function keys they are indispensable and used as often as shift is.

With my other two keyboards, I had to "retrain" my hand positions along the keyboard to type "normally". That is, without accidentally hitting some of the oddly placed keys (shift, /, ', \, etc.) While this keyboard does not eliminate that problem, it does feel most closely to the layout and size of a full keyboard.

Overall, it's a great keyboard, I can't comment on the battery life as I've had it for just over a month, and I haven't had to change the batteries yet. And I've been expecting them to day any day now at 15-32 hours/week use.

If I had to change something I would: 1) Add a USB rechargeable built-in lithium battery. 2) Make the tray removable, as often I use the keyboard without the tray holding either phone or PDA. 3) Make the tray size changeable, currently, it can't hold my phone (Nokia E51) very stable, and not at all if I have the phone "portrait".

In the design of the keyboard, once the keyboard is closed, the tray clasps onto the back of the keyboard. When open, the tray stays sticking out. It's really this issue, as well as my hopes of a rechargeable bt keyboard, that make me give this a four star. Really, though, it deserves a 5 or a 4.5.

If you're looking for a BT keyboard and are constantly on the move or travelling, this is probably the best bet out there. I use it in my office at work, when traveling, in the car/subway, and anywhere else I have it with me that I have to wait for someone or something.

I use it to send emails, text messages, browse the internet, make calendar appointments, for IM chatting, and writing notes. On both HP Ipaq Hx4700 and Nokia E51, but mostly on my phone.

"Excellent keyboard, but dwindling support for new devices", This little keyboard has turned my PocketPC into a very powerful messaging device. It has excellent keyfeel, it's reasonably easy to set up, the stand works quite well, and it has respectable battery life.

It's good from a hardware perspective, but I can't say the same about the software. The included software requires you to perpetually leave your Bluetooth radio on, or repeat the pairing operation every time you wish to reconnect the keyboard- a significant inconvenience or a significant drain on your battery life, take your pick. The built-in keyboard drivers in Windows Mobile don't have this problem.

Users of Windows Mobile 6 (or above) will get used to the behavior of the default keyboard drivers; many of the hotkeys won't work as printed (BlueFN+A and BlueFN+S become Left Softkey and Right Softkey, respectively, instead of parts of the spacebar doing the job) without the software, but the manufacturer doesn't support WM6 with this device.

The hardware would be 5 stars, but the total lack of software support means I have to rate it on how WM6 handles the device natively- it does quite well, except for the mismatched hot keys, so this goes down a notch. Still recommended, although list price would be steep.

"Allows you to enter data using a real keyboard", Installation was easy. Remembering the key combo to sync is the only draw back. Typing was just like a desktop keyboard. cursor navigation was easy using the arrow keys. Also the special function keys made using the PDA easy. Would recommend to anyone as a great buy.

"No Longer Supports Blackberry", When I just received this product in the mail, the title on the packaging had been changed and the word "Blackberry" has been removed! And the list of supported devices on the package does NOT mention RIM or Blackberry!

Also please note that iGo has decided to drop this entire product line, they are no longer producing (or supporting?) keyboard products!

"Works with Blackberry's", I purchased this keyboard as an impulse purchase when I saw it in the gold box. Then I read the reviews and thought I had really made a mistake in purchasing it.

I had no problem getting it to work with my IPAQ and my Blackberry Pearl. It does take a number of steps for setup and the drivers are not on the CD provided. Go to IGO website and then support and drivers. The Blackberry Drivers are listed under RIM drivers and that may be confusing some as they might be looking for the word Blackberry. I did download the drivers for both my Blackberry Pearl and my IPAQ to my computer and then synced them to the device. Then the keyboard must be discovered by the device. The Quick Start Guide for the IGO explains how to make the keyboard discoverable and then follow the instructions for your Bluetooth device to discover the keyboard. Then go to the Keyboard icon and your device and set the permissions.

It does take a number of steps and a little extra effort to get it connected but it is worth it. I am typing away. The keyboard is responsive, fits in my pocket and is easy to type on.

It did have a sticker across the keys on the keyboard. That was a crazy but I got an alcohol based computer cleaning pad and got all the sticky off.

For those that gave up on this keyboard, give it another try and take it one step at at time. If you have problems post them in the comment section, it looks like there are some very good tips for installation there.

"Great product", This product is small enough to be crammed into the pocket of my jeans. It works great with my blackberry 8800, although the drivers on the CD didn't work, and the mobile website from iGo was broken -- I had to download to a PC then sync them to the blackberry. Keyboard is very responsive -- keystrokes show up as they would for a wired keyboard, and the configurable repeat rate goes faster than my laptop does.

Very happy with this.

"Discontinued item, no driver download to device, scumbags", I purchased this product to send over to my wife who is on a trip, and complained about typing on a Blackberry. I thought I better install it before sending it after her, so I could guide her along. No PC where she is, so I tried to download as advertised. Result: Page Not Found.
Company advised that since this is a discontinued item (?) they took down the support pages.
This would not be an issue normally - you can install the driver from a PC.
It is the principle that a company can maintain a manufacturer's description while not the web page to support the claim...
You know a manufacturer is a scumbag when their feedback/survey link gives you an error message back...
If any doubts read the blackberry link from the bottom of the review page, or click on the one star reviews. A shame

"iGo Stowaway Review", I received the item in a timely manor, but the best thing about this product, was the outstanding response I received by the seller. It was an excellent purchase experience and excellent customer service. I would buy from this seller again. I was unable to make the item work with my blackberry 8310, and the seller provided me the opportunity to return it for a full refund, however, my life got busy and the time alloted to return it expired, but that's my fault and not the seller.
