The Nokia 770 can't supply power to the USB keyboard. Also, It is necessary to flash the OS so that it is in USB host mode. A friend of mine has successfully built the power supply and has a USB keyboard working. However, he complains that he is getting a lot of duplicate key strokes. He has tried other USB keyboards and continues to have this problem with them as well. He knows the keyboards are OK. He has modified the capacitors on the power supply he built, but is still having the problem. I attempted to put together the power supply with a 9v battery, but probably due to my poor soldering techniques, I was not successful and finally gave up and bought a Nokia su-8w Bluetooth keyboard. It works OK, but I am not crazy about the keyboard layout and I am still slow typing on it. If I remember correctly, you have to use the "Fn" key to type numbers and the "Fn" and "Shift" keys to type symbols. Not very good for command line input. -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
