Bluetooth keyboard problem

[allhailcale]

So, I stupidly bought a leather case/bluetooth keyboard for my tab without looking at the fine print that read "for AT&T/T-mobile only." Unfortunately, I'm on Sprint. Does anyone know a workaround to make this work with my device? Thanks!

It's bluetooth. Shouldn't it work anyways? How could it only work for at&t or t-mobile?

The verizon and sprint models are not able to use bluetooth keyboard. Dont know if its something with the fact that they are cdma or what. It could be that the cdma models have different chipsets that dont allow.bluetooth keyboards.

Sprint and Verizon disabled the ability to use HID bluetooth keyboards.

Dropped from my Galaxy Tab with a little tiger blood

What the hell would possess them to do that? Is there some workaround? Can you install BT profiles directly?

1. What the hell would possess them to do that? 2. Is there some workaround? 3. Can you install BT profiles directly?

1. Because only Americans will accept this type of behavior.
2. Yes - return it. This is what I did and bought the T-Mobile Tab.
3. No.

No kidding......anyone know if the Samsung keyboard will work with an otter box case? Or would I have to remove it to place it in the keyboard?
