Default 2215 Keybaord and Accessories

I just bought a IPAQ 2215 and want to get a wireless keyboard. Do you have one? Which one do you have? Would you recommend it?

Are there any other accessories that you would recommend for the 2215?

Thanks

Are you sure you want to get a wireless keyboard? The Stowaway keyboard is much nicer IMO - I tried one of the wireless keyboards with a 1910 and found it to be a big hassle...

Default wireless keyboard

I have a Micro Innovations infrared keyboard. It works with all PDA's that have an IR port. If you get a new PDA, just downoad a new driver for it and it'll work with that one too. It's inexpensive, small, very compatible, and quick. However, a Targus Stowaway is closer to full-size, and that makes it a lot easier to type.

Unfortunately they haven't made it compatible with Windows Mobile 2003 yet. They will soon though.

Good luck!

By the way I'm thinking about buying an iPAQ from the 2200 series. Would you recommend it? My other choice is a 1935. Big difference - big decision.

I HAD a Micro Innovations keyboard. It worked great with my h1910, but I couldn't get it to work well enough with my new h2215, even with the new drivers. The IR on the keyboard just didn't have enough oomph to transmit to the IR on the h2215. Too much hassle and a little bit too small for my big fingers. Luckily a co worker had a Compaq foldable keyboard left over from his old PPC, he gave it to me and I just love it. No more iffy connections, no more two piece setup, no more fiddling with akward number and punctuation shifts.

I'd go with HP's foldable keyboard. No it's not universal, but it's much nicer to work with.
