i'm a real fan of my bt foldable bt keyboard by hewlett packard. use it often and with satisfaction on my hp hx4700 WITH WIFI... was hoping i could get my touch dual to work as a modem for my hx4700 but haven't succeeded so far. no problem since i can do the same in large mail messages and such on the touch. just make sure to carry both. problem is that i can't get the bt keyboard connected. the hp drivers don't allow installation and seem to be hp signed. anybody have a suggestion? is the hp a 3rd party branded bt keyboard so that i can use independent drivers? the td doesn't seem to recognise the keyboard when it is mdae discoverable. like to keep both and have great memories of working over a nokia umts connection on the large hx4700 display albeit only wm5. gave me the opportunity to drive communication cost for my (former - no relation) employer to the fullest by doing terminal server sessions for troubleshooting whilst on vacation. without a modem or a decent keyboard i can not do this anymore with just the hx4700. wardriving or unapproved use of open networks is illegal in most of europe nowadays. in the Netherland not yet and it really suits me to roam in on somebodies open connection, but i'm affraid i have to go find other means of communications and the td has been the wrong choice from this point of view.

did you try bluemouse already? should work with every bluetooth-hid. also keyboards.

Too bad. looks good, but installer flashes by with some text stating "skipping...". too fast too read. whenever i pair the bt keyboard i get a serial port as interface but no bluemouse to be found anywhere in the menu;s or folders. seems bluemouse thinks it shouldn't be installed on this wm6. however it shows the license agreement at start and the read me when done.

further investigation learns that the installer finishes when using the cab download and installing both modules separately. reading the docs shows that the hid device should export input device service. the bt keyboard at hand only exports serial port... anybody got suggestions?
