Hi all...I am a BIG Typer on my Visor..I review games for http://www.pdagames.com I just realized...I DON'T EVEN HAVE A KEYBOARD, Duh! I know the storaway is more expensive but it looks like a very nice product..A folding keyboard! The gotype has many features...not including the folding though. In the user's opinions of these two products, could you list the downs and ups of these two keyboards? Also...the storaway looks very fragile..is this true or am I mistaken?
(Edited on: Will both of these keyboards work while a SB Mod is in?)
Thanks all...

-Brian

I have a Stowaway and really like it. The GoType didn't appeal to me due to it's smaller layout size.

Read through some of the previous threads on both the Stowaway and GoType. They've both been discussed extensively here.

Search around the board .. this topic has been discussed extensively .. here seems to be the general idea:

Stowaway --> great "W0W!" factor, seems to be durable, great for typing long docs on .. however, a bit pricey..

GoType --> Durable, nice clam shell design, not nearly as pratical for typing longer documents (unless you have smaller hands), comes with good software bundle and cheaper.

I think it simply comes down to a personal preference.. for me, I couldn't stand the small keys on the GoType and have went with and LOVE using the Stowaway ..

Whats wrong with best buy?

I bought my storeaway (which I love and has had no problems) from the local bestbuy. Have you had problems with bestbuy? Maybe its just that store imparticular.

Best Buy Sucks

Very sorry to say it, but it does. They are not knowledgeable(and worse, wrong) and have highly suspect business practices.

I have personally had very unpleasent experiences returning electronics that were misrepresented.

There are several posts confirming this.

Do a search of the posts.
