Default XDA II Owners Can Use Stowaway XT Keyboard

http://www.my-xda.com/keyboards.html

Just a quick note to XDA II owners that are of the keyboarding persuasion: it looks like you'll be able to get a Think Outside Stowaway XT folding keyboard for your Pocket PC. It's always a mystery as to which devices will get a Stowaway XT keyboard, so XDA II owners should count themselves lucky!



And remember, if you're eager to get your hands on the new XDA II, you can order one from our affiliate partner Tek 'n Toys.

XDA IIs are all over the place. eBay has tons now, PPCW.Net sold out their first batch yesterday (of i-Mates.. same thing hardware-wise), but their second batch is twice as big.

This "preorder" doesn't even seem to have a price, availability date, etc.

Are we only going to be able to order this keyboard from O2's website, the prices of which are in �'s, or will US based distributers offer them (before the MDA II from T-Mobile hits the U.S..... whenever that may be)?

Thanks,
arebelspy

I thought that Canadian Dollar conversion was a bit on the pricey side at $1159.20, then again not as bad as trying to buy this is Venezuela at
1,357,933.58 VB - suddenly this feels easy to justify. :?

If only my brand new targus universal IR would work with my imate, it works fine with my old XDA running PPC2002!

The Tek n Toys link doesn't say that it is sim locked. I have to assume that it is, but does anyone know differently?

No, it's NOT SIM-locked - Tek 'n Toys sells non-SIM locked devices.

Brand new? Return it. Buy a wirless keyboard here:

http://www.moonlight-tech.com

It's cheaper, and I have confirmed with them that it works with the XDA II/i-Mate (with Pocket PC Phone Edition 2003).

I really like the Targus one, and from the looks of the one from moonlight-tech, it doesn't do much for me.

Targus has been pretty good in releasing new drivers, it seems, so I think I'll wait a bit. I have some friends who would be willing to pick up the keyboard should I not want it, so I'll just be patient for awhile.

Thanks for the link.

Jason, the major problem I see with Tek'n'Toys, is that they are selling MDA II, which is German. I have one (got it from gsmphonesource.com), and trying to find out how to properly dump rom from I-Mate (I have a friend who just got it) and deploy on MDA II.

Has anyone been successful on this?
