I've been after such a device for quite a while now. Correct me if I'm wrong, this is what I've pieced together.
PockeTop
According to an email direct from PockeTop, they are working on a driver. They did have a beta driver on thier site, which they have removed the link to. According to some threads, this is still downloadable by working out the filename. Some people who did download the driver have made it available as mentioned above. Apparently you have to run a program to launch the driver using a file manager app, I guess the proper release will be more seamless.
Targus
They've just told a friend of mine that development of a Symbian driver is on hold due to a lack of interest in the platform. I hope they eventually decide to support the P8/900.

Re vivz's reply..I have emailed Targus asking them as to when they will be providing the drivers/support for the P800/P900....will keep you posted as to what (if any response I get) However, I doubt they would do anything about it if just one person contacts them about this....the more people that speak out...the more notice Targus will take as it will reflect demand. ...so... the more people that email them to enquire when they will provide the drivers/support for the SE phones, the better.

I am trying to get the driver to work on my P800 but after running it from filemanger I get a white screen and "using physical port 5" at the top and then the P800 reverts to normal.
Any ideas anyone?
Regards
Mike

Re: Pocketop keyboard driver.
That message is correct. This means the Pxxx is ready to be used with the keyboard (no need to manually activate the IR). Place the Pxxx on the sync station or the Pocketop stand near the keyboard and start Jotter and start typing!
If I can work out how to post pictures in this thread I can try to take a photo of the arrangement I use or even a step by step explanation. Let me know.

I checked the battery (good point!) in terms of configuration and then swapped the one that came with p/top with one I know works - still no joy.
Is there a way the keyboard must be switched on (it has "off" written on the backspace key but there is no corresponding "on")
Otherwise I`m a little perplexed.
BTW - thanks for your support on this.
Regards

I will send you a photo of how to arrange the Pxxx and the keyboard. Don't know how to include photos on a thread!
The step by step process is as follows:
1. Locate the c:\system\program\pocketop_symbian file and activate it (two clicks on the icon). I assume you have QFileMan or similar.
2. When you activate the file, the screen will become white and there will be a message about port 5. Then there should be another message it should say "Starting Pocket Symbian".
3. Now open the Pocketop keyboard (this will activate the IR on the keyboard).
4. Place the Pxxx in the Sync Station (unplugged) or on the Pocketop PDA stand. I am sorry I have not been able to post a photo of the arrangement for you to see.
5. Start Jotter or QuickWord and you should be able to enter text from the keyboard.
Also there is no need to activate the IR port on the Pxxx manually.
