Hello sir, I haven't planned to use a braille display atleast till 4 to 5 years from now. Because of their cost< smile>. I generally travel alone. and yes, The idea of buying a vireless keyboard for my phone sounds really nice to me but can it work with my e5? I know that it has it's own keypad but vireless keyboard can not be compared with it's tiny keypad. regards
