Palm Vx Keyboard 12.99 + SH (Tax in CA)

[VisionsUCI]

I can't believe I found it for this price. I looked it up on Resellerratings, and there were three posts. Two were positive, and the third talked about hassles with a large business order.

Get it while you can! Its a great deal! Most other places are $50+ for this keyboard!

Hi,

Please tell me that this keyboard will work with a palm VIIx
If so, I think its a great deal, as I've been looking for one of these at a reasonable price for a long time. Shipping is high - about 10-13 bucks for this, but thats still a good deal, if it works for me!

not a bad price!!! gosh... i paid around 60$ for this off Ebay (but that was a couple years ago) - waaaait a sec, what does "intl portable keyboard" mean?? do you think any of the keys might be different possibly??? is this item retail? hmmmm.... anyway, it's still a pretty nice price for a PALM keyboard.

 

[Jack159]

Pretty sure they're just referring to Palm International as Palm Intl which they then shortened to intl. Not something to worry about in my opinion. God I wish this worked with a palm VIIx....

does this thing work with the new M505 or M500 series? Thanks for your help

Fantastic deal!

I just check the product's part number, and it matches the keyboard that is listed on Palm's website.

I'll take 10! (Ebay, here I come...)

Sorry, but I'm pretty sure it doesn't. Refer to the link in my previous post.

Ok, I'm still researching this out, but on palms site, it states:

Current models - The Palm Portable Keyboard supports Palm OS® versions 3.0 and above, which includes the Palm III? series, the Palm V? series, and the Palm VII? handhelds.

This wouldnt include the VIIx series? I've contacted palm, and am waiting to hear what they have to say about it.

oh, yeah, here's my source:

Yeah! It now says "$99.99: On Special"!!!!

On Special, my a**!

This is what their website tells me:
Item cannot be shipped at this time. It has been discontinued, and is no longer available from BuyMicro. This item will be removed from the order, and your credit card will not be charged for it.

Uh, yeah... except searching for the item number still brings up the same product, just at a higher price.

Someone's getting a phone call...

"I'll take 10! (Ebay, here I come...)"

-maybe they got hit with alot of those quantity 10+ orders and realized something wasn't quite right....

My coworker was very bummed when she got the message that they were not going to ship! Anyone actually get a confirm for a few who would like to sell one? email me at anandtech@hugh.mailshell.com ... Thanks!

I have the palm V portable keyboard that I bought for my palm Vx. Its usage is close to 0 and its practically brand new. no scratches on the case, all keys work perfectly. If someone wants it for 45 shipped let me know.

I think they canned all of them at this point....

Jack159, if you're looking for a keyboard for your PalmVIIx, then I think I've found something for you (courtesty of dealnews.com): TriState Camera, Video and Computers

They sell keyboards for the Palm III series, the m100, and VIIx for only $25! Shipping is another $10. $35 is still a great deal.

Hope that's helpful!

Funky, this company is literally just down the street from me.

 

[VisionsUCI]

[XFreebie]
