Customer Review: Great addition to my phone!
Summary: 4 Stars
I really love this keyboard that I'm using with my Blackberry Curve. The set up was fairly easy, the only problem I experienced in the begining was with my bluetooth headset- when I added the keyboard, my headset changed from displaying it's name to "unknown device" and then the headset simply stopped connecting with the phone. It was on, the phone had it listed in the bluetooth menu, but then it would say "disconnecting" everytime I tried to connect it. I wrote an email to the Freedom keyboard folks, and within a day or so they replied with some helpful hints. They told me to delete both items (the headset and the keyboard) from the list on my phone, and make sure the keyboard is listed first as a possible device. For some reason with that list order of paired items, I can now have both my headset and my keyboard working at the same time, and calls are very easy to answer while typing emails, or to plan things on my calendar while I'm on the phone with someone, type in new tasks, etc. It's great!
The only other thing I had difficulty with was the combination of the keys pressed in quick succession (the shift and then the space bar) that turns everything I type into little boxes.... This happens to me when I type the word "I" mostly, I type all three keys a little too fast, and the keyboard switches to another language, which Freedom keyboard folks said is Korean, but looks like small boxes on the screen instead of letters. So they said they are working on a software upgrade to repair that key combination, but overall, I have had a great experience with this, and would recommend it to anyone, but with those two bits of knowledge. If you have a headset, delete it and connect the keyboard first, and then add your headset. If you happen to type the Shift key, a letter and then the space bar quickly together, and all your words turn into tiny boxes on the screen, hold down the shift key, and press the space bar again, and you'll be back to normal. Those are the only kinks to be ironed out that I've experienced.
It feels solidly made, and I look forward to using it for years to come!
