I have a compact Gyration wireless USB keyboard that I've been using
with my N800, which works great but is a little inconvenient because
you still have the wire for the receiver, but it's hanging free with
the weight of the receiver on the end. The other thing is that there
apparently are no mouse drivers in the tablet OS, so the mouse doesn't
work. I've been looking for a reasonably priced bluetooth keyboard,
but such a thing apparently doesn't exist. So, I think the best option
is one of the small USB keyboards, like this:
http://www.cyberguys.com/templates/SearchDetail.asp?productID=7599 or
this: http://www.tigerdirect.com/applications/SearchTools/item-details.asp?EdpNo=1388872&CatId=142
.

The roll-up keyboards are great if you have a solid flat surface on
which to set them, but I tend to want/need to use it on my lap or
other soft, uneven surfaces. Also, it would be a simple matter on one
of the rigid units to rig up a holder on the keyboard itself for the
tablet.

Do the 770s have USB host mode? There's no point in discussing
anything USB if they don't.
