Any suggestions for a bluetooth keyboard? I want to one for my cingular 3125. My main concern is compatibility with windows mobile so I don't have to click buttons on the phone like start, next, back, accessing programs, etc. So far, the iGo Stowaway Ultra-Slim, Freedom Mini Duo, and Freedom Slim Keypad look good. I haven't used qwerty keyboards much so I'm not sure if I care about the size. Thanks.

they should all work. wm5 or newer has built in drivers although i use the manufacturer's drivers since you can use shortcuts. i highly recommend the stowaway series as they have amazing battery life.

Thanks. I changed my mind so I'm going to wait awhile. But I would probably go for the stowaway ultra-slim.

could anyone let me know how the soft keys are implemented with the above keyboards (or any other good options)?

I've connected to my q9h using a microsoft bt keyboard - which works great, but I can figure out any key combination that lets me use the soft keys. I also downloaded the driver for the igo keyboard and don't see an option in the hotkey setup that is simply the soft keys.

I'm thinking about a bt keyboard for control while in the car - it would be nice to be able to position the keyboard in a location that does not require a lot of reach. I don't think I really need the full keyboard - really just arrows, numbers and the soft keys.

thanks for the help.
