Anyone know if there is or will be a portable keyboard for K750i?
At expansys K750i is listed as a product that the Freedom BT Keyboard is compatible with. But in the list under Freedom K750i is not listed. The keyboard need a driver to work since it's not using HID profiles, and no driver for K750i is found.

Why would you want a keyboard ?
The K750i has no word processing function or smartphone apps.
Unless you'd like one to write an email or SMS (rather cumbersome for such a simple task) using a keyboard, i dont see the point of anyone making a keyboard for the phone.

Well, I'm not a fast writer on the keypad so I seldom write sms if I don't have to. The same with e-mail on the phone. If I could use a keyboard I would be more happy with that. The sms I write to day I usually write on my laptop and send through fma....

You could always use T9 predictive text input - it makes writing SMS or emails much much faster.

Yeah, I know and I use it whenever I have to write a sms/e-mail. I'm still not comfortable with the keypad.... I wish for a keyboard |

No way.....way to big. I have my K750i in a fancy and expensive (gift from my sister) leather neck strap, cut down the length of the wires to the earplugs so I have no slack wires hanging around. |

So, you dont want a larger phone, but would like to lug around a large keyboard.. 
Flawed logic my friend. 
Anyway, like i already said in my first post, i doubt anyone would make a keyboard for the phone - one simply is not needed.

With a larger phone I have no choice, with a BT keyboard I have a choice. I can leave the keyboard behind in the car, the hotel room, etc. No doubt you see my point.
I do have a couple of palms lying around (V & IIIc), so yeah I know the feeling of being "forced" to bring with you big lumps in your pocket. Don't want to go back to that again.
Might not be a marked for BT keyboards for "dumb"phones, but if there should appear one on the marked I'm willing to spend +/- 100 bucks on that. |

I wouldnt call the K750i a dumb phone. Its just not a smartphone, it has no smartphone apps, so theres no need for a keyboard.
Good luck finding a compatible one though.

hellsat, I hear ya.
I also would like a keyboard for leaving in the car. I wouldn't use it for general sms, but if I have a long email to write or a letter to someone you can type more naturally and fluently on a proper keyboard (even if it's small). I find I can write more naturally the faster I am able to get the words out, so a keyboard would be way useful to me. My only other alternative is to carry my laptop around everywhere. I don't care how portable a laptop is, it still doesn't compare to a phone and tiny keyboard in ease of carrying.
You could use the email client as a word processor (use t9 after writing your stuff to check spelling of suss words), and then you can send it to home email address. It'd work for me.
I agree that a touch screen with keyboard is the way to go, but I also agree with hellsat that P series are too big. The only touch screen phone out so far that is almost small enough is the XDA mini, but I'm still waiting for the xda hardware to mature a bit (or maybe it's windows mobile that needs to mature, or both) before I'll consider that platform
