HOT DAMN!  Worked a treat!  Muchias gracias!  I've been diddling with 
BT keyboards on 770/800 for a YEAR, on and off.  Finally, one works.  
Especially nice is that the N800 display lights when a BT keyboard key 
is pressed.

I find that the N800/BusyBox does not have wget.  Not seeing a real 
easy way to download kbdd.tar.gz in a term on the  N800, I downloaded 
to a Ubuntu box using wget and then used the N800's mc to copy it over 
with "Shell Link".  From there, everything went exactly as advertised.

I wonder what's wrong the the "out of the box" setup?

I wonder if I can now get my big microsoft brand BT keyboard to work?

Perhaps going onward through the fog without consulting manual or doing

I encountered that error a few times too... Sorry, I forgot to mention
that.  Sounds like our experiences are identical-- I just hope you get
the best of it like I did.

Thanks for the comments.  After reading them, I discovered that I could 
specify a "passcode".  I tried again, this time with a "passcode" of 
 to make the typing go faster.  Now, instead of "Authentication 
failed", I get "Device resources exceeded".  Also tried a single digit 
passcode of "9".  It now seems random whether I get "resources 
exceeded" or "Authentication failed".

Come on, someone out there, either there is something I don't 
understand about BT "pairing" or there is a bug.  Someone tell me!

I encountered the same problem with my Nokia bt keyboard and the N800.
Took something like 20 tries to get past the authentication, but I was
eventually successful.  Note that I only used 4 characters of my own
choosing.  Definitely seemed to be a timing issue.

HP iPAQ BT keyboard

2007-07-02 Thread Willie McKemie
I haven't been able to "pair" the subject keyboard with my 800.  I'm 
pretty sure it's just cockpit error.  Can someone tell my what I'm 
doing wrong?

The 800 searches for and finds the "BT-foldableKB".  I select that 
device and it the 800 assigns a "passcode".  I then touch "OK" and then 
type in the four digit pass code plus  as fast as I can.  
Invariably, I get "Pairing failed Authentication failed Try again?", 
usually before I've finished typing the five key sequence.  And again. 
And again.
