Stevie, bear in mind that I reviewed this keyboard and took the above photos 26 months ago. At that time, I was connecting the XV6700 phone to the UMPC to use it as a 3G modem. For a mouse to work with a phone, you need a supported driver. No… no G1 for me. We reviewed it recently however.

Thanks for the review,
A few questions: Is that screen connected to your phone? Have you written a review of it? Are there mice that work with phones? Are you getting a g1?
I’ll check back here or you could email me: FruitKck@hotmail.com

Re: new keyboard not powering up. Might be the switch that turns the keyboard on only when it is “locked” into the operate position. The switch is not a user switch – it detects when the right 1/4 keyboard is latched into position. The switch is in the same assembly as the reset button and the LED and is under the plastic lip by the F11 key (when latched). If the screw which holds the reset/LED/switch assembly in place is loose or missing, the switch won’t turn on the keyboard. Screw comes in from the back to the left of the word “Stowaway”. If screw is missing, tape might hold the assembly together at least long enough for you to determine if that is the issue.

Help! I just bought the Sierra – new – on eBay. I installed a new battery, twice, but each time the keyboard doesn’t power up. Did I get a dud, or am I doing something wrong? I’d greatly appreciate any guidance. Thank you.

I called iGo, who bought up ThinkOutside. iGo has stopped manufacturing keyboards, what you see in Amazon and the like are just leftovers. They did not sell the division to another company, they just shut it down.

Good job. Hopefully someone will step up and fill in.

Great. I want to buy them, iGo bought the company out, and now I can’t buy this device. I’m trolling around and finding it here and there on the internet, but not at any big retailer like amazon.

Thanks, iGo, for buying up a great product and then shutting it down.

That’s a Samsung Q1 UMPC.

That’s a Samsung Q1 UMPC.

What is that Samsung device in the background? Is that a portable monitor? Does anyone know? I could really use something like that!

Great product, except the driver support and tech support is very disappointing, especially in the Palm driver support arena! They have a very difficult time in bringing out new drivers in a timely manner for new products.

Kevin,

Nice review and solid photos! I’m going to pick one up for my Dell Axim. It looks like the current price on Amazon.com is $75.xx.

is there anyway to use international characters, im danish and we still use those bothersome åæø characters a lot!

FYI… I just ordered this keyboard from Buy.com — With Google checkout, the whole thing came to $70.81, including shipping…

I think it’s a BARGAIN at that price!
