| Mini Bluetooth Keyboard |
I was heading to Shenzhen from Hong Kong to do some misc shopping and I thought this might be a good time to pick up something that I really do not need but that might be interesting to have.
I was trying to think of a reason why I would need a Mini Bluetooth Keyboard to go with my iPhone, over the years I have gotten use to the touch screen, though making the change from a Blackberry took some getting use too, the iPhone screen does get a bit dirty during the day from using it so much but wouldn’t the mini keyboard get dirty too? , the iPhone isn’t heavy enough for me to be able to complain that I cant hold it and type at the same time, so it came down to one reason to have a Mini Bluetooth Keyboard ; I WANT ONE.
It didn’t take long to find and soon I was the proud owner of a Mini Bluetooth Keyboard.
I literally bought a no name mini Bluetooth keyboard, the box is white and with black letters at the top it says “Mini Bluetooth Keyboard” with no brand name in English or Chinese.
On the back of the box it says (Ok I fixed the misspelled words and the Chineglish) :

Ø The mobile operating system should be one of the following:

The box also stated an installation CD and a Users Manual, neither were in the box.
How do I use my new wireless mini keyboard?
I use it with a few programs that I run on my iPhone; Docs to Go, Notes, SMS, and email.
It works well and actually makes me a little more productive.
The negative:
1)The keyboard is a little stiff , I'm not sure if it's because it's new , I'm use to the touch screen of the iPhone or it's just the product, but it isn't unbearable.
2) It is faster to switch programs by using he touch screen.
3)It is a little bulking to carry them both in a pocket.
I paid 100 RMB for it; the starting price was 200 RMB.
I'm not sure if I got a good price, I was in hurry and bargaining over 3 or 4 US dollars didn’t seem worth my time.

This keyboard is too small!! You won't believe it but I just got a tiny keyboard from Microsoft.
Sounds great. I just switched to a touch screen phone and it is very frustating trying to hit the space bar and getting the letter C or V instead. It turns out I'm not the only one with this problem. This sounds like a quick fix that would make a lot of people happy.
