I've been using a Palm Wireless Keyboard with my Tungsten T3 for several months now, and I'm HOOKED! Since the T3 comes with Documents To Go 6 (for MS Office-compatible word processing and spreadsheet creation), the keyboard allows me to consign my laptop to the desk. Since there is no physical connection between the Palm, the keyboard is perfect for using the T3 in extended-screen landscape mode, allowing me to view more columns on my spreadsheets.

What I find really great about this keyboard though is the fact that IR is a near-universal standard for PDAs and many smartphones, making the PWK compatible with a very wide range of products. I've successfully tested the keyboard with the ff:

1) Palm Tungsten T, T2, T3, Zire 71, Vx (upgraded to OS 4.1), m130
2) Sony Clie NR-70V
3) Sony Ericsson P800 (with the plastic keyboard removed)
4) Nokia 3650, 7650, 6600
5) Handspring Treo 600

What's more, since the Palm Wireless Keyboard is identical to the ThinkOutside Stowaway Infrared Keyboard for Pocket PCs (except perhaps for what's printed on the keys), the PWK works well with any Pocket PC OS unit, including Phone Edition units like the XDA II.

Pros:
1) Near-universal compatibility - not just for Palm OS units. Won't easily become obsolete.
2) The 2 AAA batteries that it uses lasts for months
3) Can be used in landscape mode with a T3
4) The keyboard's IR wand can be positioned so that you can use it with your Palm while it is charging in its cradle (useful for long projects)
5) Fairly inexpensive, compared to Ultra-thin and Bluetooth Keyboards

Cons:
1) A bit bulky (i.e., slightly too large to fit comfortably in your pants pocket);
2) IR use decreases PDA's battery life (but not as much as would a comparable Bluetooth keyboard)
3) No dedicated row of number keys, making it a bit more difficult to create spreadsheets
4) Grey plastic finish not particularly appealing
