Default has anyone got the foldable keyboard in yet?

I've seen no hands-on reviews of this yet. Has anyone actually received one yet? It'd be great to see some pics too.

I'm very curious about this myself, since I have a Casio e125 w/a stowaway keyboard that I love. After looking at the picture on their site (click "Learn More" on the customization page on Dell's site), it looks almost exactly like the Belkin G700, which has only been used for Palms to date. Here's a review if you're interested:

I'm not so worried after reading that - looks like it'll at least be comparable to my stowaway.

I ordered one with my Axim (which is supposed be delivered by 12/17) - I'll post here as soon as I get it, take some pictures, etc.)

You're right - the picture looks identical to me. See a larger version here:

with the Dell pic here:

Thanks for the info!

Is it me or is the Axim's foldable keyboard going to be HUGE in comparison to the stowaway?

It's actually a little smaller (when open), if it's the model I think it is:

Opened: 6.85 x 9.77 x 2.75 (174mm x 248mm x 70mm)
Weight: 7 ounces (198.4g)
Key Spacing: 17mm horizontally & vertically
Key Travel: 2mm.

Targus Stowaway Dimensions:
Closed: 3.6 x 5.1 x 0.8 (93mm x 130mm x 20mm)
Open: 13.8 x 5.1 x 0.44 (352mm x 130mm x 11mm)
Weight: 7.9 ounces (224 grams)
Key Spacing: 19mm horizontally and vertically
Key Travel: 3mm.

I never really liked that huge stand for the pda that is attached to the back of the keyboard (e.g. G700, some ipaq keyboards, etc.). I like the stand on the stowaway, because it is simple and folds nice and neatly under the keyboard. But these, they look "clunky" to me. :?
