Hi Scott, I did some testing with Think Outside Stowaway Keyboard. First, with an iPhone 4 (borrowed for the testing), if you paired the keyboard, typed notes, etc. and then closed the keyboard (turning it off), it does seem to re-establish a connection when the keyboard is just opened

Hi Esther, this is curious and I wonder why this is. Very annoying only if you let it turn itself off after 3 minutes. So, for now the only thing to do is tap something now and then to keep the connection up. I appreciate confirmation of this issue and well it is what it is. SOmething I might

Hi Ester, Just a comment re the Think Outside keyboard: I am using it with my iPhone and find that with the iPhone 4, at least, there is no need to repair the bluetooth after breaking the connection. Mine just reconnects as soon as I touch a key. So this is great! Thanks for the super

Hello Esther, The mini BlueTooth keyboard I'm using only has 49 keys. To get the arrow keys, I have to hold down FN and use r, t, y and u. The bottom row, from left to right, is shift, FN, Alt, @, Space bar (double-size key), Windows, Alt, FN, and Shift. The Windows key appears to have no

Hi Sandy, I have an iPhone 3GS using iOS 4.0.2 . I also have the Think Outside Stowaway bluetooth keyboard. I have had no problem getting it paired, but I cannot close it and reopen and press a key to reestablish the connection. I am always forced to put the keyboard into pairing mode via

Hi Chris, First of all, I must apologise if my message appears both at the top and the bottom of this thread, I forgot to move the insertion point to the top. I discovered from a little researching on the net that only the iPhone 4 will hold the bluetooth pairing. Hopefully, this will

Sandy, This seems rather odd considering the fact regardless of the iPHone, the software should be the same. This is rather interesting. I had not found this information when searching the net, but then that could be a result of using the incorrect search terms. So, just to confirm, do you

Hi Chris and Anne, Yes, mine is a Think Outside keyboard of the Stowaway variety. I found a forum full of iPhone and think outside keyboard users. Well, after a lot of trial and error, it was discovered that those with the new iPhone 4 phones had no issues with maintaining the bluetooth

The only thing you can do with a bluetooth keyboard on the iPhone is enter text into a text field. Sadly you can't control the phone or move around the non text fields. This is a real shame as I expected to be able to use the iPhone the same way I use my Mac with a keyboard. My keyboard does

Hi Kev, I don't have a bt keyboard on my IPod. But from what others who do have them have said, the answer to your question about navigation on the IPhone is no. The keyboard's functionality seems to be limited to working within a text edit area and some media functionality. You can't move from
