poltr1For months, I've been coveting a Targus wireless keyboard to go with my Cincinnati Bell Blaze smartphone. Why? Because it would speed up text-based data entry. As much as I like Graffiti for Android ('cuz I'm an old Palm IIIxe user), data entry is slow.
So today, I had a little bit of money left over on my credit card, and headed over to OfficeMax, where I first saw the keyboard. And one went home with me today.
Looking through the book -- and why do they print these things with such small print? -- I didn't see anything about how to pair it up with Android phones. But I did get the pairing code. So off to Google I went. I found this page on how to pair them. I downloaded BlueInput as they suggested. Then I set the devices to recognize each other -- first the phone settings to connect, then the keyboard to recognize, And then went into BlueInput to connect and start using the keyboard.
Now to get a small carrying case for it. And maybe a stylus to use on the phone itself. Maybe I'll find one on my next trip to Big Lots.
