Keyboard: ONCE AND FOR ALL

[Unregistered]

I would love to order an NX, BUT, all I hear is that it is not compatable with an external keyboard out of the box (without any mods!). I've gotta have a keyboard for meetings.

Is this the final say on this? No external keyboard compatability on the current NX models? Thanks to all for your wisdom.

Final Words:

Current Sony KB11 does NOT work with the NX out of the box.
Belkin G700 DOES work with NX out of the box.

Fellows will release a version of the Stowaway soon that DOES work with the NX.

So your options are:
Now: Belkin G700
Later: Belkin G700, Fellows KB11/XT

I'm hoping the new Fellowes' KB11 keyboard (probably branded by Sony) comes out soon. I like being able to use a keyboard with my PDA, even though I don't use it very much.

I like the look of the new Stowaway XT. It will be compatible with the NX right.

News release says XT and regular stowaway will be coming in May. Another poster got an email from Fellowes that said June....
so you can probably expect them early August at best :)

I don't think you can say it works with the Belkin right out of the box. You have to install the driver first.

When I say out of the box... I mean no hardware modification. I didn't think this would be misinterpreted. Sorry.

The Fellowes will be branded as Fellowes, not Sony.  Think Outside makes the keyboard.  It will be branded by Fellowes, not Sony.
