This should be built into a FAQ of what keyboards work and what doesn't, given:
* Minimum operating system requirements
* Minimum bluetooth requirements (Blackberry and peripheral)

Has anyone tried more popular and generic keyboards with the Blackberry and had any success? I'm trying a Microsoft bluetooth keyboard ("Wireless Optical Desktop for Bluetooth") and although i can successfully pair with the device, it's not attached to any services, therefore i'm not actually using it. What tells the Blackberry the services that can be used?

There are third party keyboards for the Blackberry that appear to work in other threads, what about other major brand keyboards?
