If you're in the market for one, and this should work with most any Windows Mobile device, pop over to <a href="http://store.palm.com/product/index.jsp?productId=2662538&cp=1157581.1797783&parentPage=family">their store</a> for a look.

Yes I wouldn't be suprised if it was a ThinkOutside rebadge. I had a "Palm" not-bluetooth foldable with my Tungsten T waaaayback and they were identical to the ThinkOutsides.

Besides the point, they have always been excellent gadgets to have!

Don't know where you guys get the ThinkOutside idea. They are only marketing two BT keyboards, neither look anything like this. The mini one that sort of hinges in the center, doesn't have a real number row, which this one does, and the other one hinges in three spots folding into a W.

This looks way more like the one that HP was hawking a few years back, which I'm sure was a rebranded something, but had a habit of eating batteries. Have a look at http://www.mobileplanet.com/zoompic.aspx?type=item&amp;i=139459 this is what the HP one look(ed) like.

I thought that keyboard looked familiar. Has anyone managed to get one of the HP-branded models to work with non-HP devices?

I got the idea from here (http://www.amazon.com/Think-Outside-STWBBBT-Blackberry-Bluetooth/dp/B000BYGGEY/ref=sr_1_4/102-1813812-3711323?ie=UTF8&s=electronics&qid=1179904335&sr=1-4). I initially thought the same as you - with the number row, my first instinct was that it was a rebadged Smart/Freedom/Brando keyboard, but the link above showed the same key, stand and latch configuration as the Palm version. It's also a ringer for the one you linked to as well.
