Digital camera reviews of iGo Stowaway Ultra-Slim Bluetooth Keyboard for PDAs and Handhelds
Digital camera Review: Do not buy this item
Summary: 1 Stars
It worked well for a few hours then it disconnected and I closed it in frustration (the stowaway feature). While closed, apparantly the keys on the keyboard were pressed together, draining the battery, which is absolutely rediculous. I replaced the batteries and now the thing won't reconnect with my pda. Not only does it technically suck, it sucks in that you have to press a numlock anytime you want to use the number pad, which is annoying and time consuming. After finding that this this is useless, I feel the urge to throw it against the wall. I assume that it will break in pieces if even dropped. If I did get it to work again, it would still be a pain to type because with every keystroke the thing goes flying because it is so flimsy. Definitely the worst buy that I have ever made. I am about to buy a regular bluetooth keyboard, at least it will work I don't care as much for flimsy things.Digital camera Review: Do not buy this keyboard for a BlackBerry
Summary: 1 Stars
I have a BlackBerry Curve 8320 and got this keyboard to use with the device. It does not work with the new OS 4.5 for BlackBerry. I called tech support for iGo and they said they do not and will not support it. They suggested I search on the web for a hack driver that someone might post. This is not the kind of tech support that a reliable company would give! Also, I have not been able to find any after market software to make it work. Avoid....Digital camera Review: Does not work with Palm Treo 700p!
Summary: 1 Stars
FYI: For those who are purchasing this product for your Palm Treo 700p, don't! I was informed by Igo's (un)customer service that this product has been found to be incompatible with the Treo 700p. Be warned!
Digital camera Review: Does not work with the latest Blackberry Curve 8320!!
Summary: 1 Stars
I brought this product under an Amazon Gold Box deal. After receiving the product, I find out:
* The Over-the-air driver's link is broken. (From Igo Tech Support)
* The CD that comes with is outdated. ((From Igo Tech Support)
* Even though Amazon advertises it as "for Blackberry", it does not work with the most recent Blackberry models!!!!
Their website says it supports the Curve 8300. DO NOT make the mistake of thinking that it will work for the whole 8300 series. The tech support person said that he is not aware of any current plans to support this model and I should return it to Amazon. Ofcourse, since I have opened the keyboard, I wont even get a refund from Amazon.
I wish when Amazon is pushing a product through a high-profile "Gold Box" deal as a keyboard "for Blackberries", it would do a better job of warning its customers of such importand product support exceptions. Very very disappointed with IGo and Amazon. The whole affair really sucks.
Digital camera Review: Doesn't work with all blackberry's
Summary: 2 Stars
I have not had a chance to test this product yet because it does not work with my Blackberry (7130e). The text is a little deceiving because it says that it works with Blackberry's. After getting the product and trying for hours and reading the literature, I called the support line and I was told that it does not work with my Blackberry. I was disappointed by the fact that none of the literature tells you what devices it works with.
