</div>I fully agree on this, I have bought smaller keyboard (with USB cable)<br>
for freerunner and I don't use it very much, because as you said it's<br>
not really usable e.g. while sitting in train and trying to balance<br>
phone + keyboard on your lap. So in trains I'm using n900 only and<br>
om-gta02 is sitting at home always connected to desktop (with real<br>
keyboard).<br></blockquote></div><br>On this, I respectfully disagree. When I had my Neo in full flight, I often used a Bluetooth keyboard to do longer sessions. For short sessions, I'd use the stylus and the tiny onscreen keyboard.<br>
<br>I actually tried a variety of Bluetooth keyboards, and yes, balancing them can be a pain, especially in a moving platform like a train. I found a good way to situate things, with my backpack as a support for the Neo, and thus only having to hang onto the keyboard on a subway train, which has lots of motion. Is it ideal? No. Would having a cradle or some sort of attachment been better? Probably, but it wasn't useless.<br>
<br>I wrote e-mails, reports, and diary entries in this way, and I liked it a lot -- as the onscreen keyboard is handy but not functional. Now, if the keyboard was big enough for me to do work, but also portable, that would be fantastic. <br>
<br>I saw a smaller "Bluetooth" keyboard yesterday ... which is about the size of an average phone. The keys were way too small for fingers, so I'm guessing it is aimed at the "thumb" market, which might be a fit for some but wouldn't help me.<br>
