NOT FOR BLACKBERRY !!!!!2008-09-06
Maybe this is a good product.

It is NOT for any RIM BLACKBERRY!

Buyer BEWARE!
No Longer Supports Blackberry2008-08-30
When I just received this product in the mail, the title on the packaging had been changed and the word "Blackberry" has been removed! And the list of supported devices on the package does NOT mention RIM or Blackberry!

Also please note that iGo has decided to drop this entire product line, they are no longer producing (or supporting?) keyboard products!
Works with Blackberry's2008-08-18
I purchased this keyboard as an impulse purchase when I saw it in the gold box. Then I read the reviews and thought I had really made a mistake in purchasing it.

I had no problem getting it to work with my IPAQ and my Blackberry Pearl. It does take a number of steps for setup and the drivers are not on the CD provided. Go to IGO website and then support and drivers. The Blackberry Drivers are listed under RIM drivers and that may be confusing some as they might be looking for the word Blackberry. I did download the drivers for both my Blackberry Pearl and my IPAQ to my computer and then synced them to the device. Then the keyboard must be discovered by the device. The Quick Start Guide for the IGO explains how to make the keyboard discoverable and then follow the instructions for your Bluetooth device to discover the keyboard. Then go to the Keyboard icon and your device and set the permissions.

It does take a number of steps and a little extra effort to get it connected but it is worth it. I am typing away. The keyboard is responsive, fits in my pocket and is easy to type on.

It did have a sticker across the keys on the keyboard. That was a crazy but I got an alcohol based computer cleaning pad and got all the sticky off.

For those that gave up on this keyboard, give it another try and take it one step at at time. If you have problems post them in the comment section, it looks like there are some very good tips for installation there.
Great product2008-08-18
This product is small enough to be crammed into the pocket of my jeans. It works great with my blackberry 8800, although the drivers on the CD didn't work, and the mobile website from iGo was broken -- I had to download to a PC then sync them to the blackberry. Keyboard is very responsive -- keystrokes show up as they would for a wired keyboard, and the configurable repeat rate goes faster than my laptop does.

Very happy with this.
Discontinued item, no driver download to device, scumbags2008-08-07
I purchased this product to send over to my wife who is on a trip, and complained about typing on a Blackberry. I thought I better install it before sending it after her, so I could guide her along. No PC where she is, so I tried to download as advertised. Result: Page Not Found.
Company advised that since this is a discontinued item (?) they took down the support pages.
This would not be an issue normally - you can install the driver from a PC.
It is the principle that a company can maintain a manufacturer's description while not the web page to support the claim...
You know a manufacturer is a scumbag when their feedback/survey link gives you an error message back...
If any doubts read the blackberry link from the bottom of the review page, or click on the one star reviews. A shame
