ThankYou said:sevimli said:Rally1 said:was I the only one that had to spend 10 mins peeling that instruction sticker off?

nope! It tooks more than 15 min for me!


I started mine three days ago and still haven't gotten all of it off the keys.

I have no idea...I haven't rec'd mine yet. I'm wondering if heating the sticker first with a hair drier prior to trying to remove it might help? Or would that make it worse?

Sweet, I've got the new N810 on order and even though it has a hardware keyboard, I think this would make a nice companion for heavier duty typing since I am making a go at using the N810 as a light duty laptop replacement for travel.

I'm still trying to peel that stupid sticker off.

It works great with my ipaq but I can't get it to pair with my nokia 6133

I'm having the same problem (and with no success with tech support). Anyone get this paired to the Pearl?? I'd hate to have to return this and it's supposed to work with the Pearl.

i got mine off easily in 2 min. instead of just peeling it off the keys i lifted it from the bottom by sticking a blade under the sticker in the gaps between the keys. once i had it raised a bit i used the blade to guide it from underneath as i peeled it. it came off with no residue left behind. on the back i just peeled it of and used a little rubbing alcohol to get ride of the residue.

Spent one hour to pair my HTC touch, no go. Anyone got successed? I am so surprised that they don't have any driver update for Windows Mobile 6 at their website. All the phone models at their webiste are also quite old. The MSRP of this keyboard is $1xx, right? They should get some money to update their website.

I'm using a blackberry 7100I. Went to their web site to d/l the driver and I keep getting a message that the web site is incompatible with my browser! The phone found the keyboard but I guess without the drivers it won't type. Will have to wait to go to work tomorrow to load the drivers onto it at my office pc.

I'm guessing whatever moron decided to stick that stupid sticker on the keyboard has either been fired or made director of the company. What a really moronic thing to do! Took forever to get it off.

Seems like I was lucky to have a not that sticky stick. It was peeled off almost smoothly and nothing left on the keyboard. Maybe I have done this too much I usually re-use the box to ship stuff. Every time I need to peel the old shipping label off the box.

I had no problem pairing it with my Inspironn 8600

Now to see if the Treo650 drivers will work with my T680

Updated-The 650 drivers seem to work well with my T680
Pairing is a bit cumbersome but it finally took

I mainly bought this for a HTPC set-up, so glad to see it works with desk\lap tops

I tried that with the butterfly knife (can anybody say 1988?) I have sitting by my computer. No dice. And the sticker completely shredded all over the back as well. It wasn't "residue" left behind, it's pieces of the sticker. I went slow and peeled peeled peeled with my fingernail. It's like these have been around for a while and the glue has really set.

I ended up heating the sticker with a blow drier, and then used a sharp knife to slowly peel the sticker away. It came off of the keys pretty easily for me that way...the back was a little more challenging, but most of the sticker came off, just a few little pieces were left behind. I'm not sure if I just got lucky and mine wasn't stuck too badly, or if the blow drier helped it some.

I paired it with my HTC Hermes Windows Mobile 6 software, and am using it flawlessly. for the bluetooth password, make sure you hold down the function key on the RIGHT side of the spacebars before you type the numbers.

Tried downloading the driver to my blackberry using it's internet connection and keep getting an error. Anyone get this to work with a BB yet?

Trying to get this working with a Blackberry 8700 anyone have any luck?

jumped on the deal for use with HTPC/docked laptop so i could leave screen closed.

sticker was horrible on mine! they must have purchased the cheap glue backing, or hm, maybe the really expensive, wont come off kind!
in the end goo gone make quick work of the residue and left behind sticker.

this lil guy paired with my lat D420, and my treo 650 right away. easy to setup.

because it is tiny, there are about 3 functions for each key. take some getting used to if you are using with a PC.

lil guy does everything i want, EXCEPT!, when i press left fn + left alt + number 6, it will not register. same combo with a different number, works flawlessly.
this is not enough for me to warrant returning it, but just something to note.


thanks for the find op!

Anyone try pairing this with a Mac? It mostly works, but it does a funny thing where it types an "a" when you hit the "Fn" key. So if you try to type numbers you get an "a" first. Annoying. It does that on several Macs I've used. Works fine with Windows XP and a Dell Axim I tried.

I'm using it with Treo700P, the paring and tying is OK, but instead of automatically turned off (I set 3 min for auto-turn off), my Treo 700P auto-soft-restarted if it's paired with this keyboard. Anyone has the same problem? And stupid Treo 700P can at most set at 3 min auto-turnoff!

I am having problems with my bluetooth GPS reciever after pairing this with my Dell Axim.
Dont know if the problem is with the GPS receiver or the keyboard.
