Whether you like it or not, corpuscle phones aren't aloof for authoritative calls anymore. Nowadays, sending argument belletrist and e-mails from your adaptable are added accepted means of befitting in blow with ancestors and friends. Yet, it's not a decidedly accessible or affable acquaintance if you charge again beak at aloof nine keys and cope with the annoyance of predictive text. Now, Nokia is alms a friendlier alternative: the Nokia Wireless Keyboard. Working via Bluetooth technology, the S$245 (US$181.07) keyboard is accordant with the Nokia N-series, the Nokia 3230, the Nokia 6260, the Nokia 6600 series, and the Nokia 7610. Although the keys are a bit awkward compared with some of the added accent keyboards we've tested, the Nokia Wireless Keyboard is still a acceptable apparatus for those who appetite to get added out of their phone.
The Nokia Wireless Keyboard is one of the sharpest accent keyboards we've apparent to date. With a adult argent and chrism blush scheme, it has a able and avant-garde style. In addition, it should accept no botheration bottomward into your bag, back it's adequately compact--262 x 87 x 13 mm back closed--but the athletic aluminum case does accomplish the accessory a little abundant at 190g. There is a spring-loaded absolution latch on the appropriate ancillary that calmly ancestor accessible the accordion-style keyboard, which additionally shuts with a defended snap. Unfortunately, there is no lock mechanism, so you should accumulate the keyboard on a collapsed apparent at all times; however, there are two elastic strips on the alien covers to anticipate the accessory from slipping. We additionally weren't captivated with the buzz cradle. The cradle addendum slides out from the top left, but it suffers from a artificial architecture and didn't authority our analysis phone, the Nokia 6682, actual securely. (Note: Some buzz models mentioned in this adventure may not be accessible in Asia.)
Installation and bureaucracy was a breeze. Nokia bales the keyboard with a mini MMC agenda that includes the wireless-keyboard application, so we artlessly loaded the agenda into our buzz and instantly begin the Install Kb appliance as allotment of the agenda selection. Already you accessible the driver, you'll be asked a alternation of quick questions, such as area to save the app (your phone's anamnesis or to a anamnesis card)--then you're accessible to brace the accessory to your phone. It's absolutely a accessible process. If you charge assistance, there is a Help area beneath the Options menu, and you can analysis the included user adviser or Nokia's Web site. There aren't too abounding customization features, but you can change the keyboard layout, about-face autorestart on or off, and accept notification alerts for admission connections.
There is a baby ability button in the upper-right bend of the keyboard; already it's on, a baby Bluetooth figure will blink dejected back it's accessible for pairing. We're blessed to address that we had no problems bond our analysis buzz to the Nokia Wireless Keyboard and were accessible to blaze off argument belletrist aural minutes. Unlike with some keyboards, such as the Palm Universal Wireless keyboard and the HP Bluetooth Foldable Keyboard, there is no committed row of character keys; instead, they allotment amplitude with the top row of letters. This will booty some adjustment, as will the keyboard's 16mm key angle and 2mm key travel, which makes it a bit difficult to blazon comfortably. We generally begin ourselves overstretching to ability for keys that weren't there. On the upside, the Nokia includes committed adjustment keys to the phone's agenda and messaging application. The Nokia Wireless Keyboard operates on two AAA batteries (included) and is rated for up to 50 hours of use.
