Geekzone Takes a Look at the Freedom Bluetooth Keyboard

[Brad Isaac]

It looks like there is some competition brewing in the bluetooth keyboard arena. Proportia has brought their small one to market and Geekzone has posted a review.
The keyboard has a full row of number keys, and arrow keys. There are a few printed alternate characters for some european languages, as well as symbols such as €,¥,©,® and a number of other visual symbols for various other functions.
It’s got a useful, though not particularly strong, pull-out stand that can support a phone or PDA. It would struggle with any larger or ruggedised equipment, but it propped up my PDA (an HP iPAQ hx4700) and Smartphone (an i-mate Smartphone2) just fine. It slides and swivels out and can either be fully unhooked, or clipped into the back of the keyboard.
