I use my Nokia 770 a lot. when I’m out and about and I don’t want to cart a laptop around, it’s a great form of internet access, if limited in a few ways. The ting that’s always got to me about it though, is t the text-entry interface. In the end, without a physical keyboard (like the new Nokia N810 for example), you’re a bit restricted when entering long entries like this one.

So – when I saw the offer for the iGo Ultrathin keyboard for just over 17 quid, I jumped at it. The keyboard is a fold-up device that attaches to the 770 by bluetooth. Its like a more compact version of the slightly older Stowaway’ keyboard. with it, you can use the 770 more like a mini laptop. When not required, the keyboard folds away neatly down to about the same size as the 770 itself.

When folded out and in use, the keybord includes a small stand on the back to support the 770 in a usable position. It’s HID compliant, which means that you can use it on any device that takes such a keyboard. This includes many smartphones, Laptops, PDAs etc too.

The keyboard itself is quite robust, and works very well. Seeing as I’m actually typing this sat in a Cafe, having taken a photo with my phone, transferred it by Bluetooth to the 770, uploaded it to my site, and published the article via my Phone’s data connection and bluetooth, I think I can finally say that mobile computing has come of age

It’s great
