Tested the Palm Infrared Keyboard with the Treo 755p |
I just got an email from an agent who was shopping for the Infrared Keyboard I use and cover in my classes. She went into a Best Buy to pick one up and was told they do not have a IR keyboard that works with her Treo 755p. It so happens I have Treo 755p here in my pile and the Palm model number 3196ww IR keyboard. After loading the software into the 755 all the functions work correctly.
In my opinon, I think somebody is attempting to market their new $99 Bluetooth keyboard to make current owners of the 3196ww upgrade. Also new buyers spend $30 more to get the Bluetooth when the IR not only is cheaper but I need to check on one fact. The phone manufactors state the phone will only work with one Bluetooth device at a time. So if you are entering information with your keyboard and on the phone using Bluetooth one of them isn't going to work, (I think).
I plan on testing the Centro soon, the one from my pile is missing as we loaned it to a family friend.
Here's what you need to look for;
