The device measures 148 x 251 x 13mm (H x W x D) when fully opened and 99 x 139 x 13mm when closed. Weight wise you are looking at 160g.

Inside the box you get a protective carrying case, 1 x AAA battery, an installation CD and the device itself.

Now this is a minor observation but the supplied device has a sticker attached to the back - which wraps around to the keys themselves - it’s essentially an instruction guide to show you how to open up the product. However the sticker must be industrial strength because it does not remove completely, leaving a sticky residue over the keys and back of the aluminium casing, it took us around 20 minutes to get the stuff off.

Anyways the above does not stop the keyboard from being a great product and it’s certainly got a lot of positives going for it.

Opening the device is fast, simply press a button to the side and the keyboard slides across with the cradle being flipped out at the top. The cradle can also be removed and was able to mount most PDA's/smartphones that we had at our disposable, such as a Palm TX, HTC TyTN II and a Nokia 3230 phone.

The keyboard itself is pretty small but the keys are still large enough for you to type, its size does result in a reduced number of keys mind, so you have to press a function key to get numbers.

The keys themselves are comfortable to use and the board is rock steady, which allows you to type on your lap or on a desk without the board bending at the centre.

We liked the amount of available shortcuts (for opening commonly used programs such as ‘Mail’) on the board, which will benefit Windows Mobile users and we used them to good effect during our tests.

Installing the drivers from the supplied CD was pretty straightforward and you are not restricted by any unlock codes as we witnessed in the UBiQUiO and Freedom keyboards that we reviewed last week.

Linking up via Bluetooth was a doodle and the driver can be customised so you can use your own shortcut keys.

Battery life seems to be good, though we never got chance to find out the manufactures claimed battery life, but we feel it should last a fair number of hours from our observations.
