Anyone know of/can suggest a good portable keyboard like this which does work (wi-fi, bluetooth, etc) w/ mbl phones and/or PDAs so when I get a new phone (PDA) I can type on my portable keyboard and not with my thumbs on those annoyingly small keypads?

Thanks for any suggestions/info.

It will depend upon which phone you get. Check the manufacturer's website for accessories.

Palm makes a bluetooth keyboard that works with Treos and a couple of their PDAs. Think Outside (now part of Mobility Electronics, I think) makes the Stowaway Bluetooth keyboards. Check the compatibility with the phone you want to buy.
