 | I doubt it, since you have to have the keyboard app that goes along with it, that is written in Palm OS code.

| Thanks for the reply. But since Palm says the keyboard works with WinMo Treos, I was hoping it would work with non-Palm WinMo devices.

| OIC, forgot about the WM version of the Palm BT keyboard. That might work, but the new device will still need the software application.

   | I believe, correct me if I am wrong, that there is a .cab file for WM phones. You can install that and it should work. When you put the software cd that comes with the KB, there is an option for the Palm or WM version of the file. I have this KB. I live by it, love it and use it to type....a lot! I go through a set of batteries every 3 months. The average, according the instructions is 6 months. |

| I also love the Igo Bluetooth KB. It is compatible with Pocket PC windows mobile, Windows Smartphones, Symbian UIQ touchscreen, Symbian Series 60 (menu driven) Palm OS. I am copying out of the users manual. Also just wanted to say, it is really easy to set up, but may take a few trys to connect. Be sure to disconnect any other running bluetooth headsets etc, as they will fight with each other for your attention. I would buy it again in a heartbeat. |

| Is this the Igo keyboard you're referring to? I think I prefer the Palm since it has five rows. I'll be using it to input numerical data to a spreadsheet. Any other thoughts? Thanks!

 If it's a standard Bluetooth device is should work with any device that has the correct profile.
