Hi there. I'll admit it up front... I am technically challenged. So, patience, please.
I would appreciate it so much if anyone can help me figure out if I can use a bluetooth keyboard with my T-mobile MyTouch slide.
I'm a reporter, and would LOVE to have the option of a full-size keyboard.
And yes, I have typed entire articles on my old G1's slide out keyboard.
Totally possible on the HTC slide, but I find the keyboard irritating. The G1 was much more user friendly IMHO.

Full-sized keyboard needed. I assume bluetooth would be easiest, but am open to anything... even plugging in one of those old dinasour keyboards from a desktop would be okay.

What are my choices?

Thank you so much to anyone who takes the time to help me out here!

Mahalo from Maui,
Starr

I dug around and came across this.

Price is a bit steep, but it seems to be what you're looking for. The description says you can go to otadrivers.com from your phone and install the Freedom Pro keyboard driver.

Can anyone else verify this?
