Unfortunately, I ordered too quickly the Stowaway Sierra from NewEgg -
just before all the messages that said it wouldn't work, including
one from Thinkoutside that said they hadn't a clue when it would work.
The good news is I'm back from my trip, the UPS box still sits
unopened, and when I explained how unhappy I was that there
indications on there web site that the keyboard would work with
several new-model Treos, there was no mention that it would not work
with the 680, NewEgg said they'd send me a prepaid return shipping
label.
Today I've an email from Palm touting a BT keyboard they say does
work with the 680. I'm tempted to find out; I've another road trip
next week and it sure would be handy.
