Nice. I love the curved (ergonomic) keyboards and have been using them for years. They increase my typing speed quite a bit.
No keypad, however, kills this one for me. I use it a lot.

Great but contrary to you Kreij I rather have a mouse emulation pad or point (like IBM ThinkPads back then).

And what is Nokia BFF Microsoft?

It looks like it melted :D

Knowing Microsoft... They will have it down the road... They have it for their "ARC" version.

If it's any thing like there blu tooth mice they can stuff it were sun don't shine..

looks nice, I love the aestetics of their arc keyboard(have one for my htpc) but its just awkward for typing.

OK, but I dont see how this Microsoft 5000 keyboard is any different then the Microsoft 6000 keyboard,.....which can be had for ~$32 at newegg. I have one but its OEM and came with my Asus Eee Pad EP121 Windows 7 Tablet.

Does anyone mind enlightening what exactly is the purpose of a "mobile" keyboard?
By mobile, I would expect something pocket size, at least cargo-pocket size. This looks like a regular slim keyboard to me. Why would you need a "mobile" keyboard? A tablet? Wouldn't an attachment such as the ASUS Transformer's be a much better choice? iPad, Galaxy Tab, and so on have their own versions as well. And using this for a laptop is just stupid (unless the keyboard is broken)...

As I stated before, my Microsoft 6000 keyboard which looks to be identical to this Microsoft 5000 keyboard came bundled with my Asus Eee Slate EP121 Windows 7 tablet. Although Microsoft sells it as a alone product too. It seems to be intended as a general purpose Bluetooth keyboard for tablet devices. The Asus Transformer and Transformer Prime keyboards + battery attachment may be better designed but its not general purpose (doesn’t fit other devices) and comes in at a whopping ~$150. Also not all devices are deigned with such specialized attachments in mind and those would need a more general keyboard design.

Having said that, I haven’t used the included OEM Microsoft 6000 keyboard with my Asus Eee Slate EP121 Windows 7 Tablet. It seems unnecessary,….

Also, there have been a lot of complaints that the OEM Microsoft 6000 keyboard will lose sync,....
