Bluetooth Keyboard and Mouse Support on Charge?

[BobR]

Does anyone know if the upcoming Samsung Stealth/Charge will have stock (not rooted) support for the Bluetooth HID profile that allows the use of a bluetooth keyboard and mouse?

My understanding from rumors so far is that...
1) It will have Bluetooth 3.0
2) The current versions of Android do not have build in HID profile support, so that is something that has to be added for particular phones.

Believe it or not, this appears to be the most important decision factor for me between the Charge and the Thunderbolt. While the screen resolution is not quite qHD, I'd like the option of using it as a computer, with a monitor, keyboard and mouse.

It may be too early to know this, but this community has an uncanny knack for discovering nice tidbits like that. Or maybe someone can share an expectation based on other Samsung Android phones.

Thanks in advance.

I've done some more Googling, and found that there are 3rd party HID support available without rooting.

The Freedom Pro Bluetooth keyboard was also recommended because it can use both HID and a serial profile, so might be compatible with more devices.

Has anyone tried these with a bluetooth keyboard and/or mouse on the Thunderbolt? Sounds like a nice solution if it works.

Phone Scoop says the Charge supports HID profile!

This is potentially great news.. this description of the Charge specs seems to indicate that HID bluetooth profile is supported (along with many others).

Don't know if it's accurate, but most of the other information seems more accurate than earlier leaks, so I'm hopeful.
