hi ray et al, there's a couple different ones too. the one i've used was available from nokia i think. although i don't think it was nokia exclusively. it was basically a qwerty keyboard with a bluetooth connection to your mobile. the keyboard folded in half for ease of transportation. it automatically turned on when you opened it up, and switched off when closed. very need item for those who aren't used to using a mobile keypad for texting etc. this particular one cost about £50 or so. this is going back 6 months since i played with one which is why i'm a bit vague about price and availability! smile.
