Just a quick note. The Thinkoutside website doesn’t specifically list the HTC Vox Windows Mobile 6 Standard Edition (AKA Smartphone) as a supported device for the Stowaway Bluetooth Keyboard for PDA. But, I installed the WM5 Smartphone driver for the keyboard on the Vox this evening and it seems to work fine.
The configuration utility even dealt with the incompatibility between the built-in Bluetooth HID profile and let me disable from a menu. It then enabled its own profile and let me setup usage with the keyboard.
I sent a test email over WiFi (no SIM card in the Vox to make sure it didn’t go out over EDGE instead) with the Bluetooth connected to the keyboard to make sure that both those radios could work simultaneously while using the keyboard.
Glad to see all this works with Windows Mobile 6.

I’m using Dopod D810 with WM6.
Since no specific driver is available for D810, I downloaded the WM5 driver for Dopod 838.
After installing the driver, the first message received during setup was:
“Bluetooth system not detected. Current version of the keyboard/mouse driver supports the following Bluetooth stacks:
Drakar (Socket) 6.x.x
After you install or upgrade a stack, tap “Enable” on the Config page. select Bluetooth wireless keyboard, and tap “Setup” to enable the stack.”
I’m now trying to see if I could get the Drakar (Socket) 6.x.x installed on my PDA.

Exactly which driver did you install? I have an HTC VOX as well and the WM5 drivers I have found on thinkoutside.com have all finished with a message on the smartphone saying the install was unsuccessful because the .cab file does not support this device.

Hi,
Recently purchased the XDA Flame and have the BT Slim Keyboard, the Think Outside but its the same as the Dell and a variety of others and I am sure the one you mentioned. I am unable to get it to sync with the Flame, it works with my Eten X500 running Mobile 5, but the Flame will not work. The Mobility site said that the VOX was untested, tried PPC5 & Imate but the same. Any suggestions ???
Thank You,
John

I have Flame and a think outside BT Keyboard. I also could not load the drivers, BUT if you just pair it with the flame in the normal way. When asked for the passcode enter whatever number you want and then enter the same nuber on the keyboard and press return. Voila! You can enter text using either the BT keyboard or the onscreen input. I think some of the shortcut functions will not work but I never used those. I hope this helps. (It works with both WM5 & 6)

I tried to install the SW in my new ipaq 211 but intallation went wrong in every attempt. I wrote to Igo to see if they might fix it with a WM6-compatible drive for the Stowaway keyboard.
