The keyboard works easily and flawlessly with my new Blackberry 7290; instead of being all thumbs -- all sore thumbs -- I'll be touch-typing and often using the two devices as an ultra-portable substitute for a notebook computer.A word of praise is also in order for Think Outside's online tech support. I've read complaints about the quality of their service, but they responded promptly, helpfully and repeatedly to a problem that arose only because of security settings in my newspaper's BlackBerry server (settings that prevented the handheld from responding to key-stroke signals from the keyboard.) I'm a happy typer on every count.
