Neither the 770 or n800 support USB host mode out-of-box. For the 770[1], you can use a USB hub and power injector to get working USB support for USB devices. I don't believe this is possible for the n800... at least not yet.
The keyboard Nick is talking about is a bluetooth keyboard. There is very good support for bluetooth keyboards that support the bluetooth HID spec, which is most of them.

Maybe I should have been more specific -- is it just a few specific keyboards that work with the N770 or N800, or any USB keyboard at all? And is there a differentce between the N770 and N800 in this regard? I have an alphasmart keyboard, and it has the best feel of any keyboard I've ever used. I'd like to be able to use it, when convenient, with any hand-held machine I get. -- hendrik > > -----Original Message----- > From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > On Behalf Of [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Sent: Thursday, April 12, 2007 11:03 AM > To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Subject: usb keyboard? > > I'm not a maemo user yet, but a prospective maemo user. > > I have several questions, which I'll ask in separate messages. > > Is it possible to use a USB keyboard with the Nokis N770 or N800? > > -- hendrik > > _______________________________________________ > maemo-users mailing list > [EMAIL PROTECTED] > https://maemo.org/mailman/listinfo/maemo-users > > _______________________________________________ maemo-users mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://maemo.org/mailman/listinfo/maemo-users
