bluetooth keyboard

After some googling/ebaying I've noticed there are some really cool cheap foldable keyboards. But any which are wireless instantly jacks the price up by at least 50$. Call me picky but $65 USD Is about $40 USD more than I'm willing to shell out for such a device. Anybody else in such a predicament or have a solution (aka cheaper option?) :). Perhaps a Mini-USB wired one.

Yikes. I don't know about a wired model. I'm sure they're out there if you want to look. At the very least, I bet you could use a USB keyboard with a miniusb adapter.

$65 bucks to spend on an accessory that important for a ~$900 device isn't out of question for me at all. It's the first major accessory I have planned for the N95. Bluetooth functionality can't be beat. Think about browsing the web from your N95 on your widescreen tv- think about the advantage of having a bluetooth keyboard. I'm game.

SU-8W is a Bluetooth keyboard folder made by nokia, and im sure all the nokia products use the map built in to SU-8W, if you buy another type.... it may not work, as far as wired... I built a wired keyboard via mini usb power injection hooked up to USB keyboard full size, ill post directions when i get time, how to make it for ~8.00USD from radio shack.

Browsing the web IMO can be done with the numpad if you need to. What i really need the keyboard for is my Symbian puTTY :)

Of course you can, but not if it's connected to your tv on the other side of the room.
