imageiPhone Paired with External Keyboard without Hacking it [Updated]

Some folks insist that one of the deal breakers of the iPhone is the lack of a physical keyboard while, in my opinion as a long time iPhone user who is used to its virtual keyboard, the need for a physical keyboard is unnecessary. However, I have realized that as...

    Looks a tad clunky... I prefer typing on the virtual keyboard or if I really need to use a keyboard, I VNC on the iPhone (I know I probably didn't say that right haha,) and type whatever I need.

Call me sceptical, and I hope I'm wrong as a good external bluetooth keyboard option would suit me

    Desperate for a mouse ;o)!!!

    This is very important to me to find a solution to connect a mouse to Iphone, beacuase i cant lift my arms to use the Phone by myself! And this could finaly be the answer for my problems! IF this is possible this means that I can listen to music, use the internet, text, and so on and so on, i could even make a call all on my own!!!

    Ive seen that they succeded to connect a (bluetooth) keyboard to Iphoone and my question is to y'all if u know if there's a possibility to connect a MOUSE????

    I'm thankful for all response i get

    i want to reliable external keyboard to be able to type faster on my iphone. May of us Palm / Treo users have external keyboards for easy and faster SMS. I wonder why apple is so insensitive to us users.

    I would definitely buy a qwerty "real" physical keyboard if one existed.
