bluetooth keyboard

[mariokarter]

How do you use the keyboard to move the pointer? I would assume it would be using the phones dedicated navigational keys...so your saying you can use the arrow keys on the keyboard or something?

The nav key on the phone

Yes, I would assume you'd use the arrow keys just as you would the nav key on the Nokia. Is there an actual arrow on the screen when you browse the internet? I wouldn't imagine so, as there isn't even any type of analog controller on the phone. Whether using the nav key or arrow keys with a keyboard, I assume it operates like my 6682, highlighting links and such as you move around the page. Anyone with an Nseries that weigh in on this one?

I'm trying to decide on a bluetooth keyboard. Does anyone have suggestions?
I was looking at the Stowaway, Stowaway Sierra, and the Nokia one.. I want something I can use on my lap well (from reviews, that rules out the Sierra). Other than that, I don't know what to pick.
Can someone help me out? Are the ones that I'm looking at good or are there better ones? Which do you think is the best out of the 3 I mentioned?

Thanks in advance!

Stowaway has been making bluetooth keyboards for a while... on the other hand, the Nokia SU-8W is sure to be a solid build, and it says "Nokia" on it.

I would hope, and assume, that all these people who were given the N95 VIP package would be reviewing the Nokia keyboard. I'm just a little disappointed that no one has yet, as there are several bloggers and the like who have had their VIP packages for several days now...

Most disappointing is Darla's blog. Plenty of activity from her over there since she's received her N95... I just don't see any final build N95 review from her, yet. 8 articles since the infamous black box arrived with that one of a kind Nokia that everyone knows about by now- two of which are N95 related. One is a piece on the Nseries software launcher (barely N95 related), and one references Teo's lesser black box and features some images that he has captured for us. There are a lot of people out there that want impressions of the final N95 build before making a decision, and even more potential N95 owners that simply can't get one yet. A review from someone fortunate enough to be not only be given one, but given a one of a kind, would be appreciated.

... maybe it's just jealously setting in, maybe I'm just cranky today ...

but still... you know? Wasn't anyone else expecting that she would review the final build for us?

Here's the feedbacks on the Wireless keyboard SU-8W.
- The connection between the N95 and Wireless Keyboard SU-8W is fast.
- Once connected, you may type whatever you intended to type just like a normal keyboard.
- Good for those who needs to do lots of typing, taking notes or even surfing the internet.
- Able to control the phone totally using "Right" , "Left" and "Middle" Menu buttons provided on the keyboard.
- Powered by 2 AAA batteries. (Not sure how long can it last)
- It's very portable to carry around in bags or even in my jeans pocket.

There's a small metal piece which you can slot the phone into, in portrait (standing) mode.
Look at the 2nd Picture, just right below the phone, u can see it. It will not lock the phone very securely, but it can hold it there.

Below are some shots of the Wireless Keyboard SU-8W..

man doing picture and video reviews of nokia phones with a n93 is just the cool thing these days...

I found out that the Nokia SU-8W bluetooth keyboard can't be used on laps very easily. It doesn't have a clamp so it starts folding up if you try to use it. I think that means the Stowaway is the route I'm gonna go.
Thanks for your input guys.. and if anyone else has information on another type of keyboard, please let me know!

but would you really want to try to balance your precious n95 on your keyboard and on your lap anyways???
