User Submitted Palm 3245WW Wireless Bluetooth Keyboard Reviews (cont...)Date: 2008-02-06 Wireless Keyboard for Palm Treo 700W This device is extremely easy to set up and use, and interfaces very well with mobile Excel, Word and Power Point. It certainly beats carrying a laptop on short trips. It would really be nice if it had a trackball however. Date: 2007-12-23 Compatible with Vista I spoke with the Palm tech before purchasing this keyboard. It is now compatibile with Vista. There was a previous review from November that said it wasn't. There have been updates for the Palm products for Vista since that review was written. Be assured that you can use this keyboard with your Vista system. Date: 2007-12-19 Bluetooth Keyboard for my Palm TX I was looking for a replacement for my IR keyboard and was somewhat hesitant about this one. My IR keyboard was flimsy and felt like cheap plastic. Not this keyboard. This bluetooth keyboard is strudy with thicker plastic and has a better tactile feel when typing. Also the software will automatically reconnect with my TX when the device powers off. All I do is start the device using one of the hard buttons and start to type. About 10 seconds later, the keyboard recognizes the signal and reconnects. This is fantastic for me. Date: 2007-11-10 Great keyboard, better driver needed. The Palm Treo 700wx may have its own built-in keypad, but there's nothing like using an actual keyboard to take notes, write word documents or respond to e-mail messages from colleagues. The keyboard itself is excellent - responds as well as any keyboard I've ever used. Unlike other keyboards, there is a line of keys for the numbers (I've seen some other keyboards that don't have this separate line of keys...what a pain!). Many shortcuts on the keyboard itself. The easel is sturdy enough for desktop use, but I wouldn't recommend it for travel. Here are the disadvantages of this keyboard. For one, like any bluetooth product, it will eat up your phone's battery life. Second, there is no feasible way that I can see to actually plug in the Treo while using this keyboard (anybody who has found a way to do so on a hard surface, help would be appreciated) - this means that your battery should be charged before using the keyboard for a long period of time. Third, the driver for the keyboard seems to be very buggy for the Treo 700wx - I've had to reinstall it three times...including directly after the first installation because it would not connect to the keyboard. This is very easy to resolve - but it's still a bit of a pain if you're in the middle of a meeting and can't connect the Treo and the keyboard. Overall, it's definitely the best keyboard that was available when I purchased it and, despite the negative aspects that I listed, I would still highly recommend it. Date: 2007-11-08 Works great, but It's not a desktop keyboard This keyboard works great. It is solid enough for use, though the device support stand is thin and seems like it would break easily. I have experienced no connection issues. Pairing the device requires use of a keyboard connection application instead of the regular bluetooth application and I have ended up wasting a minute or two on a couple of occasions by choosing the standard bluetooth app then having to close it out and open the keyboard connection app. The split spacebar is a little awkward to get used to at first and the keys seem like they are not as solid as those on my desktop or laptop keyboard; but these are both understandable issues for a portable keyboard. It has over 30 functions (such as home, menu, calc, etc.) that help me keep my hands on the keyboard instead of fishing for my stylus. These are accessed by holding down a function key then tapping a standard key. Most of these dual-purpose keys are located on the number keys across the top and on the top row of letters.
