Anybody bought/able to comment on bluetooth keyboards that would be appropriate for the Galaxy tab?
Any particularly good deals floating around that people know of?
Samsung Galaxy Tab Bluetooth Keyboards?

There are some nice solutions with keyboard and case integrated. Not sure if Bluetooth is the only way to get keyboard input with the tab, since USB based keyboards are less than half the price.
The main thing to bear in mind is the keyboard is likely to be the same width as the tablet itself. Therefore its not really a touch typing unit, more a two finger job.
If you REALLY want to type on the thing, you might find that something like the mini Apple bluetooth keyboard would be a workable solution. Its a bit wider as well as looking stylish.
Zazz had a mini BT keyboard yesterday or Thursday..
thanks folks :)
yep…. was thinking of the case/keyboard combo…..
but also looked at the mini keyboards….deal extreme have a few options, but just wondered if anyone had actually bought one
i'm still waiting for the case/keyboard combo i ordered from ebay for like $35
correction: it did arrive on friday, works quite well so far. took about 2 weeks to arrive. only annoyance is that it seems to 'double type' if you hold the keys too long.
Maybe look for a typematic rate setting in the BT keyboard settings perhaps…just guessing here!
The DX ones look exactly the same as the ebay jobs! Same price too!!
I'm thinking about trying one out, I'll probably go ebay though, stuff's been coming out of Asian ebayers in under a week for me lately; whereas the last thing I ordered from DX took weeks to arrive…oddly enough though, it still got here faster than stuff I ordered from COTD at the same time! :p
I think any BT keyboard will work
I have a Galaxy S and my Microsoft Bluetooth Optical Desktop keyboard works great!
