Hi Adrian,
Not sure about that, as I don't use external keyboards. I am a demon texter
on the normal phone keypad, and can do it just as fast now <Smile>.
All the best

Hi and thanks again Steve for your reply.
You are right in that the phone will produce a capital letter when the
desired letter is pressed similtaniously with the shift key on the bluetooth
keyboard. However, often the letter you type after that does not come out
since Talks interprets it as a command. The only reliable way I have found
to do it is to press shift twice and hold the letter you want capitalised
down with it on the second press.
By the way, do you know if it's possible to select, copy, cut and paste text
on the keyboard like you can on a PC?
Thanks
Adrian.

You can hold down the shift and press a key, and you will still get
capitals.

Hi all,
I have recently installed a Stowaway Universal Bluetooth Keyboard with my
Nokia N70. It has nice big keys, although some unusual combinations to
achieve some characters, eg there is no number row so you have to use the
left FN key with the top row of qwerty to get numbers. Also there only
appears to be an american layout driver downloadable from the IGO website
available. The only real problem I am having is that when I press the Shift
key the phone says "Talks", because it must activate the Edit key. Therefore
the only way to type a capital letter is to press the shift once alone and
then a second time with the letter you require. A bit of a nuicence but I
can cope with it. Does anyone know of a better solution. Maybe Talks should
consider introducing the option to change the Talks key to, for example, the
Menu key as it is in Series 80.
I would be very interested to hear anybody else's experiences of using
bluetooth keyboards. I have seen some mention on this list of the Nokia
keyboards. Are they any good? I bought the Stowaway because it was
recommended to me as being one of the best.
Adrian.
