Hello, you may try to flash older firmware from http://www.maemo.org/downloads/nokia_770.php I've been experiencing similar issues with current firmware and kbdd over rfcomm. It worked fine with previous .45 one. Bluetooth should work even when display is off and definitely works with my keyboard. When the cover is put on, it is different matter as the device closes network connections and goes to offline mode. This may change in future OS version (see http://www.gossamer-threads.com/lists/maemo/developers/3905#3905 ) but so far it looks like there is no easy fix for this feature. As for the display I think there was gpsdrive patch floating on the list which prevents display from turning off but I suppose it will not help with your issue as the display blanking itself. Such patch can be easily hacked even into gpsd, see kbdd source and blanking.diff here http://fanoush.webpark.cz/maemo/ Regards, Frantisek
