Hi Eleanor & Irene, I use the Apple bluetooth keyboard which I think I paid approx 70€, this included vat about 14€ which I was able to claim back & I think it was sent from Holly Hill in Cork. I also have a Riitek Mini Bluetooth keyboard, which if I remember was somewhat cheaper than the apple. It is only about the size of iphone, takes getting used to & not for big fingers though with practice it can be used using both thumbs.

They do indeed keep bluetooth keyboards, there is even an Apple Bluetooth Keyboard, expensive and does not have rechargable batteries. I have the Logitech ultra-thin Mini, again very expensive but worth it. I love it. Then you can get a Bluetooth Keyboard from Amazon which has standard batteries and to my mind looks similar to the Apple expensive one. This one is just £10.00 sterling. I even have a rubber bluetooth keyboard which I purchased in Ireland in Compu b which is the equivilent Apple store in Ireland. ----- Original Message ----- From: Irene Maloney <mailto:breeze.whitney@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> To: vip_students@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Sent: Monday, January 20, 2014 8:38 PM Subject: [vip_students] Re: i phones Hi, I bought an iphone a couple of weeks ago from an Apple store. It is a 5C and cost £469. That is of course in U.K. currency. Nevertheless, I hope it gives you some idea of the cost. I am determined to conquer using it but at times this seems an impossibility. Do many of you out there use a blue tooth keyboard? The Apple store don't keep them so where can they be purchased? Cheers, Irene. _____ From: vip_students-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:vip_students-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Seoirse Neilan Sent: 20 January 2014 17:59 To: vip_students@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [vip_students] i phones Hi all, i'm interested in getting an i phone but am unsure of which type to purchase. I am also wondering if it is easy enough to navigate the touch screen and if anyone knows, what are the costs involved ? I would very much appreciate it if anyone could offer me some advice on the above questions. Thanks and God bless, Seoirse Seoirse No virus found in this message.
