Looking around the Forum I am struggling to find a definitive answer to the question "is there a keyboard that will connect and function with the BB7290?

Yes, there are several different models sold through multiple vendors, including a new one from ThinkOutside. Search for "keyboard" in the "Bluetooth Connection" forum, and you should find plenty of useful information.

Here's a link to the ThinkOutside keyboard: http://www.thinkoutside.com/products...t_product.html.
