No more than a forgotten dream
I believe the painful saga has come to end, but I’m not
quite sure. As far as I am concerned, Comet has done the honourable thing by reimbursing
my money for the Logitech Tablet Keyboard. The fellow who dealt with me
explained that the issue was not between Comet and me; rather it should be
between me and Logitech.
The Logitech website states that the keyboard pairs with
iPhones; therefore one assumes the pairing is with ‘all’ iPhones. Logitech
should have clearly stated that it does not pair with the iPhone 3G. (You can
read the exact wording by visiting the link below – look under the heading, ‘Speaks
Apple’.)
If the website had included that information, I would not
have purchased the keyboard from Comet. Consequently I’ve been struggling to
pair my iPhone 3G with the keypad. That struggle included a visit to the Apple shop
at Lakeside.
Taking into account time spent trying to link the phone and time
and effort travelling to and fro, I am out of pocket, but on the positive side
I’ve learnt a lesson that I cannot believe everything I read on a website! On
reflection, I feel sure the paucity of information at the Logitech website was
not deliberate.
The fellow at ‘EMEA Support Logitech’ sent me his promised
email. He said the Logitech Tablet Keyboard was ‘exclusively’ designed for iPad
3rd generation, iPad 2 and iPad. He went on to say it cannot be used
with iPhones. Clearly he is wrong, because the keyboard positively pairs with
iPhone 4 – but perhaps not every function key on the keyboard will operate as
it does with an iPad.
Right now I’m very happy to stop banging my head against a
brick wall for a chance to recover and to delete painful memories as if they
never existed.

G R E A T BUT you still don't have a keyboard?
ReplyDeleteYour are absolutely right Steve.
ReplyDeleteIf you know of a keyboard that will pair with an iPhone 3G, or anybody else for that matter, please let me know.
No more headaches, however.
I could do with one that actually works. There's no way I want this to turn into a nightmare.
Cheers,
Bill.
