"One keyboard that works well with Palm and Pocket PC"
Pros: Compact, feels fairly solid, generally very responsive
Cons: Keyboard sometimes suddenly stops working on my Treo 650, front slash and question mark key is in funny place
Summary: I have had this keyboard for about three months now, and it has come in very handy. It allows one to buy only one keyboard and use with a variety of handhelds. Although it is a bit smaller than a regular keyboard (I miss using the old Palm full-size folding keyboard), it is reasonably comfortable to use. I like to use it to take notes at a meeting or send an e-mail when I'm sitting somewhere that has a table to set it on. The keyboard appears solidly built.
However, there have been some occasisions when I have had the keyboard stop working while I was typing. Occasionally, the driver has turned off (seems to be a problem in power-save mode), but many times I have to close the keyboard and open it again to fix it. This is annoying if you are sitting in a lecture taking notes. Also, the front slash and question mark key are in a funny place off to the side. This has caused me to hit the arrow key by mistake.
Overall, this is handy to have if you do any kind of notetaking or e-mailing while you are on the go. It beats carrying a laptop.
