I'm interested in purchasing a keyboard, can anyone please comment on the pros and cons of various brands? Thanks.

I use the Palm Universal Wireless Keyboard (PUWK). I love it. I use it daily (in lectures and meetings), often for hours at a time. You can use your PDA in portrait, "left" landscape or "right" landscape with ease.

I have had no problems with the keyboard collapsing while typing.

I have had some problems though. My keyboard occasionally locks up and refuses to register keystrokes. However I have not come across anyone else with this problem and, to Palm's credit, they have been great about replacing it.

Other positives: keyas are (nearly) full size. 5 rows of keys. Function and command key strokes work with most programs. Keybard navigation is very easy.

With the PUWK and my T5 I have a mini-notebook replacer. It does every thing I need on the road and then I can do the "power stuff" on my desktop.

PUWK gets a strong recommendation from me. :)

Cheers,
Tim

I second the POUWK. It works great and is a good size considering it has 5 rows of keys; a major bonus for the stubby fingered crowd. Not to mention, you don't have to hit the function key for the numbers like on the stowaway. The only reason I can think of not to buy this keyboard is if you want bluetooth. In that case the stowaway BT is your only bet. You can find them online for about $90. I would have bought one of those I just didn't want to lay out that much cash at the time. I got my POUWK for about $50 @ compusa on sale. You can find it online at newegg and the like for much the same price

Got a stowaway BT for my lifedrive after reading the horror stories about the palm universal. Tried it with versachat and worked well. Only used it once, since my plan to mobile work with the palm fell through after finding a really cheap and excellent laptop.
