iGo Stowaway Ultra-Slim Bluetooth Keyboard for £39.99 and works with WM6!

OK, this is a mish-mash of information that should probably be on different forums but here goes. I was looking for a bluetooth keyboard to reduce joint pain in my wrist by getting a better typiing position, but also with a view to connecting to the Touch and Ameo. Looking around the iGo Stowaway Ultra-Slim Bluetooth Keyboard looked to be the best best as it's almost half the price of the other devices and whilst iGo's website doesn't tell you, it works with WM6! The only issue is how?

Well, download the WM5 driver from this link (There is no link for a Ultra-Slim WM5 driver - same on iGo!).

Install the driver onto the WM6 device (Tested on an Ameo and Touch and it works!)

Disable the internal HID driver

Stick the keyboard into discoverabe mode (Ctrl and both blue and green Fn keys together)

Follow the on screen prompts on the PDA and enter the PIN.

Enter the PIN on the keyboard (Holding down the blue Fn key for each number) then press enter.

It all works a treat and I'm a happy bunny now. Makes the Touch a business-class device now!

Unfortunately I have no experience with that device. Do you get any error messages?

The Sprint Mogul is also called the Titan believe it or not, but it is not to be confused with the HTC Tytn or the Tytn II (Kaiser)! The info you gave should still apply to it as it also runs WM6 and the bluetooth pairing principle should be the same on it.
