looking for a keyboard for my ipaq 2210

[okanrua]

which one is better a micro keyboard or a foldable one. and have you got any ideas about the brands. i need your advice

[Kowalski]

the micro keyboard is just like the old ericson chatboard; small, but not intended for long text entries, because you can only type with your thumbs.
there are two kinds of folderable keyboards in terms of wireless connection, irDA and BT. BT keyboards are much better because it doesnt have to directly align the ports of the keyboard and the device.
so if you will use your keyboard for long text entries, than you should buy a folderable keyboard. there are a couple of BT folderable keyboards out there. especially HP keyboard seems nice

There are actually three foldable ones for the HP. HP makes one that the 2215 sits on using the sync connector.

Hope that awful link works, otherwise go to http://www.shopping.hp.com and search for 'foldable keyboard'

It's very nice. Advantage over BT is it requires no power (actually I bet it draws some from the ipaq) and it has a power port so you can easily power the PPC while using. Good feel. Lists at $30 less than the BT one, but has been out a while and you can get better deals if you look.

Disadvantage is of course you are kind of locked into a connector style, i.e. ipaq. I'm not sure if that isn't true for the BT one as well, since HP only supplies HP drivers.

micro keyboards take a while to get used to, so if you can already touch type or have a good idea, get a foldable one

Whatever you do, avoid the Pocketop IR Keyboard. It's quirky with my 2215. Just bought a Smart Bluetooth Keyboard (also branded as Brando and Freedom). It doesn't look very well made made, but it works with Textmaker. I just hope it's durable enough.
