A Bluetooth Blackberry keyboard has finally arrived and all we can say is about time. This compact and light weight folding keyboard communicates via a wireless Bluetooth connection to your BlackBerry so there are no cables to attach! The keyboard features 5 full rows of 63 keys in a QWERTY keyboard layout with tactile feedback and dedicated number keys. Keyboard has many shortcut & programmable hot keys for complete remote control of your device. This full-size, yet compact keyboard (5 3/8 X 3 7/8 X 5/8 inches folded) for your Blackberry 7100 series works without plugging in a single wire. Fold it up and its small enough to fit it a pocket or purse tipping the scales at only 7.4 oz, 210g. Internal battery lasts up to four months depending on use.
The keyboard is available at EAccess for $98.99, http://www.eaccess-store.com

All fuss, no muss… We bought two of them and have yet to get either working in a BES environment. We’ve spoken to the vendor and had little if any support.
They have a bizarre “driver” activation protocol that you have to go through to get the driver to recognize the keyboard. Why require two factor activation of a driver when it can only be used for the keyboard? No keyboard, no use of driver?
Is there any other (Non-Freedom) keyboard out there for the BB?
The following is the only other i could find. wired and highly over priced
