I think the 2210 is perfect except for the handgrips :soapbox: and memory.
Do you guys think these thumboards are more practical than say, Pocketop KB?? I'm planning on purchasing Textmaker and I like typing on the go. From ppl with experience with thumboards, how long can you guys type comfortably before typing on these become hazardous without breaks??
I'm looking forward to this or a Pocketop KB. Any input would be greatly appreciated! :mrgreen:

If I were you, I'd consider HandHeldCanada. :wink:
Actually, they live just down the street and I've bought almost ALL my iPAQ stuff from them. Unfortunately, they're not currently showing it on their website. But I guess I can be patient for a couple of weeks. (Maybe!)

Thanks for reminding me tho...

For me, a thumbkeyboard is for input of tasks, new appts, etc. If I'm using TextMaker to create a document, the only way to go is a full size, fold-out keyboard. The thumbkeyboard doesn't have the real estate to handle true touch typing.

I have to hand it to HP, they are really taking care of their customer's needs. I have always wanted a thumbord of a PDA and was happily waiting for the 4350. But as the 4350 is too long and does not have a CF slot I decided to give it a miss and go with the 2215. I am so happy HP came through with the add-on.

Cheers
Paula

So it is now shown as available from Amazon, but there is still no photo. Can anyone find a photo or more details on this keyboard? I'll order it in a snap using Jason's affiliate link if I can just see what it looks like.

I ordered mine a few days ago and it says it will ship on something like the 28th. I just found this link over at Brighthand, http://www.smb.compaq.com/dstore/sp_...sdatafeed&t=ad , to the HP site showing a photo of the keyboard.

So what do you all think? Should I stay with this keyboard or go for a 4350? I like the CF slot and have a new Viking 512MB CF card, but then again CF is not a necessity.

Last time I looked at amazon the keyboard was shipping as of Oct. 18th but there was still no picture. Now they say it will be released on november 19 and for only $31.99... What's up? What happened to the few of you out there that ordered yours already? Did it ship? Did you pay $37.99?

I think I am gonna order one now that i have seen the picture. I like!

Just wonder if it will ever ship
