I am thinking about buying the iGo Stowaway bluetooth keyboard for my i760 (selling for about $40 on Amazon), but I thought I should check here first. Does anyone have one? I have never tried to use a bluetooth device with my i760, but the thread about how much trouble people have been having with bluetooth headsets worries me.

If there are other keyboards that are compatible with the i760, I would like to hear about them, as well.

Thanks in advance for your help!

Look at "think outside the box" keyboards.

I bought an iGo stowaway BT keyboard from Amazon in December. The keyboard is OK...feels a little flimsy, by hey, it's small and light. Pairing was no big deal with the i730. It does install its own drivers that seem to stay resident on the phone. It works fine, and like any new keyboard, takes a bit of getting used to.

The downsides? There is a sticker that covers part of the keyboard that is nearly impossible to remove. One of the keys broke off while I was removing the stickers. If you buy it for $40 from Amazon, the manufacturer will not honor the warranty because of the deep discount. The customer disservice rep didn't want to talk to me when I told him I bought it at Amazon. He even said, well you got a $150 keyboard for $40, what more to you want?!?!?! Luckily, Amazon swapped it out with no questions asked.

So the bottom line is that it works as advertised, but the build quality is so-so at best, and the manufacturer doesn't stand behind their product.

I like mine. Got it from Amazon also. One of the key return springs did not work, so sent it back to Amazon and they replaced. Works very well. Takes some getting used to not having a dedicated number line, but not too bad.

The iGo Sierra has an extra row of keys and is even better to type on (I used an earlier pre-bluetooth version for years). But it requires a hard surface to sit on, and is not discounted like the other. It is definitely worth the < $40 on Amazon if you will use it occasionally.

Oh, and yes, the sticker is annoying and too gummy. I was able to get it off all of the keys but not the outside part of the keyboard. Cosmetic only, but annoying. I'm sure I could get it the rest of the way off with a little more effort.

I have used a Think Outside Stowaway keyboard on my last few Samsung PDA phones and it has lasted me years. It pairs well, is slim, and has a nice feel. Well pthpbpth. I just popped onto Amazon and it looks like IGO is made by Think Outside. Well if it really is the same, it has allowed me to actually do work on my 730. Sometime's the 730 keyboard just can't do it - the BT keyboard is a great solution to a mobile need.

I did decide to buy the iGo keyboard that everyone recommended. I bought it through Amazon.com. The final price was $49.46.

The set-up went very smoothly and it works great. I did not have any trouble getting the sticker off of it.

Thanks for all your help! I appreciate it!

I paid 29.99 on Amazon for my IGo stowaway...and I love it!
