    have you considered a USB keyboard, you can get quite cheap ones built into a tablet cases (I know you say bluetooth)

    You cant outrun the world, but there is no harm in getting a head start Real stupidity beats artificial intelligence every time.

    AFAI, no USB on a Galaxy Tab 1.

      Mrs. RaGE asked me to buy her a keyboard for her tablet - Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1. She is using it as a diary and writes a lot, and the virtual keyboard is definitely uncomfortable for that. So here I go and look for one decent solution, and: - Shock 1 : Lots of keyboards for iPads, not much for Android. - Shock 2 : Any (decent) keyboard I have found would cost at least 79€, which is about 1/2 the price of the tablet :omg: So, maybe one of you have gone the path before, and found something reliable and not too expensive ?

        Galaxy Tab has a microUSB. microUSB to USB converters exist, get one they're dirt cheap (microUSB and USB are same except for the form factor). Then plug-in a standard usb keyboard, probably from your desktop (if you've got one). Easy peasy :laugh:

                  This page show no USB at all. I guess my "country" must have none then.

                      May be... But I found a docking station while googleing for the tablet... Unfortunately, delivery is available in India only

                        I might have one already. I bought the tablet on ebay, and it came with a box of not so useful accessories, or so I thought. I'll check tonight. I was actually so focused on Bluetooth that I did not think about USB.
