> Is there a single Windows Phone user that asked for that?!

Sounds like a wonderful feature to me.

One of the things that annoys me about Windows Phone currently is that it won't play with bluetooth keyboards (like the android phone I use as my backup device does). Sometimes when travelling it is useful to be able to rattle off some messages longer than are convenient to write with the on-screen keyboard without needing to have my tablet or laptop with me (OK so I need to be carrying the little bluetooth keyboard with me, but that takes less room when folded away than the laptop or tablet).

Using it as a mini PC is going further, but in a way that I might also find useful. Hopefully in going further they have not neglected the simpler use case on their way past though...

Bluetooth keyboards are supported since 8.1 Update 2.
That I'd not picked up on, thanks for the heads-up. I'll give it a try next time I have some "fiddle time" going spare.
