Bluetooth keypad combines RAZR keys with credit card

SlimFreedom claims this to be the knockout product of Christmas 2007. I’m not going to disagree, but if they want to be right, they better hurry up on the pricing and availability. The Freedom Slim Keypad takes a RAZR-like approach to the Bluetooth keyboard market. At 4 x 2.25 x .625 inches, the wireless keypad isn’t much bigger than a credit card. With the etched-look keys it actually looks like one too, which comes in handy when you slip it in a pocket. Just don’t confuse it with your AMEX at the register or you might have some ’splaining to do.The internal battery gets recharged via mini-USB and you’ll get 4 hours of pecking or 100 hours of standby on a charge. The blue backlight function can be switched off to save some juice and really, do you have to tap out those SMS messages in the dark? BlackBerry, Palm, Windows Mobile and Symbian are all supported, so you’re in good shape if you switch devices a bunch.

  • Unfortunately, what isn’t supported is their previous version of the product. Less than a year after I bought their Bluetooth mini keyboard, the spring-loaded clip which attaches it to a PDA, cellphone, etc., snapped. Freedom refused to provide any sort of support/service on it, because they were about to release a new product to replace it.

    Well, here it is, folks! A new toy that you can all buy, and then end up with a nigh-useless paperweight when it inevitably fails!

  • I don’t know about this. That keyboard looks like a typists nightmare. My impression it is for thumb typing only
    Good answer though for those who ask where’s the keyboard.
