<P><FONT SIZE=2>I did order the Freedom II keyboard but was out of stock so I had to cancel the order... I have bought the Nokia SU-8W instead, with works very well in general (also with my Nokia 6600), though it's a bit annoying if you're writing in Spanish and you need to write the "ñ" symbol. I think I paid 120 euros for the keyboard a couple months ago.</FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>Yes, this is your only chance if you don't want to get rid of the </FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>keyboard. Looks like the Freedom Keyboard II supports HID profile but </FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>the one you have does not.</FONT>
</P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2>It can be definitely made to work with kbdd from </FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2><A HREF="http://fanoush.webpark.cz/maemo/" TARGET="_blank">http://fanoush.webpark.cz/maemo/</A> but the hard part is to figure out </FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>which keyboard type supported by kbdd is compatible with you keyboard </FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>(if you are lucky) or more probably you may need to figure out keycodes </FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>and communication protocol your keyboard uses and then it needs to be </FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>added to kbdd. I did this with iPAQ Bluetooth Foldable and it was not so </FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>hard but it definitely needs some hacking and linux skills on your part. </FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>I may add it to kbdd if you figure out the protocol.</FONT>
