if you touch type with any decent speed and are planning on
entering lots of text and numbers, I don't recommend wireless
or ultrathin keyboard. Having to use modifier keys to
get numbers is pretty inconvenient particularly if you're
doing a lot of numbers mixed with text. You'll find it will
really slow down your typing speed. Go with the full sized
ThinkOutside connected keyboard (aka Palm Portable Keyboard).
On the other hand, if all you're doing is mainly text, then
the Palm/ThinkOutside wireless keyboard is reasonably decent
and accomodates the T3 in extended mode quite easily. The
only problem I have with the wireless keyboard is that
the hinge just happens to lie at the same spot that my thumb
sits, so I usually end up hitting the hinge instead of the
spacebar. Altering my thumb position gets around this,
but sometimes I forget.

Hi Andrew,
I am using a Tungsten|T3 with the Palm wireless keyboard and it works fine. I am writing a novel on it and have been able to
make the change over to the Wireless keyboard. I do have to say though, it is nowhere near as nice as the PPK. I have decided to
use the wireless keyboard since I can use it without taking the Tungsten|T3 out of its Rhinoskin case. The main problem I have
with the Wireless keyboard, is that it doesn't have the row with the numbers. You have to use the blue [FN] key to type them. My
novel doesn't require a lot of numbers, so it is acceptable.
Ciao . . . C.Joseph
