Arrow BT Keyboard?

Hey guys, anybody using a bluetooth keyboard with their StarTrk? Any recommendations?

I'm going away for a few days next week and would rather keep track of my emails using emoze and a BT keyboard than bring my chunky laptop. I'm still getting used to T9 (ie. I'm slow!) so using the keypad isn't really an option.

Cheers

I have this: http://www.freedominput.com/site/ind...d=15&Itemid=32
I dont use it much but I have good experiences. Everything works, even the softkeys (Left key = Ctrl + Tab, Right key = Ctrl + X, I note it because in manual for Windows Mobile are mentioned different keys). Driver works, input in all applications. I have no problem with any program (use mostly mail, IM, web...).
The only thing what is pissing me off is that you have to generate unlock code for driver on your phone (is on their web), after this you cannot use generate and use this keyboard on any other device (which use drivers (can be used HID, bud some functions are left)). You can get one more code via their support, but other codes are required to buy... They want about £17. Thats really sad.
(Sorry for my English)

Just one thing I forgot to say... Because of the clamshell design of the phone, you cant put Qtek on the built-in holder (as you can see Blackberry on the previous link) because Qtek is too tall and heavy so you have to have them somewhere next to the keyboard.
