How did u get the keyboard to work? I tried going to: Setting > Bluetooth > Devices. Then I turned on my SU-8W keyboard, clicked New > Select Device > Pair. Then clicked Pair, held down Fn, typed in the passcode & pressed enter. It then said pairing complete, but still the keyboard flashes blue & doesn't work??? :(

Eureka!!

1 - Install extkbd, rootsh & vim, from App Manager & reboot

2 - Open X Terminal and type: sudo gainroot (click enter)

3 - Next typed: vi /etc/bluetooth/main.conf (click enter)

3 - Where you see: DisablePlugins = network,input,hal, move over the "i" of input & type x several times until input is erased

4 - Then type :w (click enter) & :q (click enter)

5 - Reboot N900

6 - Go to Setting > Bluetooth & pair keyboard to your phone

7 - Next go to the External Keyboard > Tools & connect

It is actually possible to change the keymap on the n900 so you can use the keys as they are marked on the keyboard.

Hello, I do have a n900 and a su 8w but even I can pair them I cannot make them work, can you tell what have you changed on the n900? I read a lot of the main.conf file but I cannot find it on the x terminal, can you give me any help, thanks

If this mini-pc has a built-in keyboard, why do you use an external one?

Does it play 720p videos like iPhone 4? Answer is No! This would be more interesting indeed.

@taril1 Do you lose signal when you hold it in your hand like iPhone 4? Answer is No! This really is more interesting indeed.

Hi, I have one of those bluetooth keyboards, the su-w8, i usually use this keyboard with my E71, and i love it!!! It's perfect... I want to buy this N900, but my doubt is... What's your opinion about the experience to typing??Is it dificult to connect the N900 with the keyboard?? how to proceed, the steps? The same of other devices, like the E71?
