Works November 16, 2008
This item has been discontinued, probably because it is not compatible with newer Blackberry phones and is a bit quirky with the older models. It does work with a Blackberry Curve 8703e. I had to download the driver from Think Outside. I am using operating system version 4.2.1.106.
The cradle is practically worthless and the arrow keys often get mixed up. Right turns into Up, etc. The cradle just collapses when I try to use it. A coffee cup works better. Sometimes the unit types gibberish. Reconnecting usually clears up the problem.
There is a slight lag when I start typing, but otherwise it can keep up with me. I need to reconnect each time I use it and re-pair when I put in fresh batteries. I got it on clearance for $50, so I think I got a good deal. I use it almost every day. It fits in a standard pants pocket, but I had to relocate my wallet to my back pocket.
 Not bad, and considering the other options available, usable. July 12, 2008
While this keyboard is not the best one I've ever used for my pda (that being the old Targus I used with my HP 3800) it does work pretty well for what I need. The keyboard is a little wobbly on the ends because of the design of their folding mechanism; when it is fully extended the farthest ends are unsupported from below, but if you take that into account it works well.
The features I like about it are the full sized keys, their light touch, ease of connectivity, the fact that I can use it with any device with bluetooth, and the auto shut off that saves battery life. It's not a device for a ham-fisted operator, but it's convenient for those times when you don't want to carry a full sized computer around and yet want to take better detail notes than you can on the tiny PDA supplied screen keyboard.

Cool little gizmo. I'm a technical/computer "geek" and I use that term loosely. I love this thing because my son and I text a lot and I don't have to rely on that tiny little keyboard on my Blackberry Pearl. Love my phone, but this makes texting much easier.

I tried contacting the maker to help me connect to my blackberry. I never received a response. I tried for over an hour on the phone with my phone provider and then blackberry to set it up but had no luck. Since this product is made by a third party and not by blackberry they had no way of knowing what products it actually works with.

This product simply does not work and the company cannot be reached via phone or email. It is a complete rip off and you will be sorry.
