I have spent almost a year arguing with HP customer service about this item. You can't turn it off; it drains the batteries. The only solution, an inconvenient one, is to remove the batteries after each use. The part that angers me is that for nine months customer service led me to believe that the problem was a fault in the specific keyboard I had, and sent me replacements, in most cases the wrong model. finally, they admitted that it was a design fault. If I had known this in the first place, I would have been able to return it within Amazon's 30-day return policy. HP will next hear from me in Small Claims Court.

This keyboard is a must have if you are going to use excel or word with a pda. The rechargeable batteries that come with it are a real plus too and it has decent battery life. The only annoying thing is the connection process. The keyboard loses connection if idle for an extended amount of time(as in about 5-10 minutes) also connecting the device is a pain. You have to initialize the pda every time you want to connect the device and repeat the setup process for every connection. Its a bit of a pain to connect it but other than that this thing is awesome.

Works okay, but goes to sleep too soon and that is not adjustable. When starting up, it will usually miss the first 4 to 6 keystrokes. That takes a bit of getting used to..... Perhaps I will eventually remember to hold the shift or control key down for 3-5 seconds before I begin typing.... Or maybe it will have a sudden (catastrophic) collision with the wall or perhaps the floor when I discover ONCE AGAIN that it went to sleep in the middle of a paragraph..... NOT RECOMMENDED (not even for email)

Doesn't deserve a rating. A real waste of money as they never worked.
I didn't try to send them back, my bad. I would have been better off just flushing that money.

This particular device was faulty, which was disappointing because I planned on using it for school. However, I received a complete refund for the purchase in a timely manner, so even though it did not work I am still very satisfied with my transaction. I will continue to be a customer of Amazons and Fitszar Svcs.

This foldable keyboard provides a quick way to input address, contact information, and access e-mail. It is straight forward pairing the keyboard with the iPAQ Handheld device. Unfortunately, there should be more shortcut keys, allowing the user to open new contact or address files.

Perhaps those functions are available, but at this point I am not sure how to set them up.

Very useful. small and convinient. good for people that have a pda and want to turn it into a laptop.
